That's not the way culture works, has worked, or should ever work. Cultural interchange and osmosis is the name of the game, without it we'd be stuck with isolated, provincial, outmoded cultures. In this case I don't see any aspect of the recent so-called "harlem shake" meme lessening the culture or the name of harlem.
A better argument would be that the "new" harlem shake isn't dancing, it's just spastic upper body movements.
P.S. If anything I'd say that more people are going to learn about the real harlem shake due to the popularity of the faux harlem shake than if the latter had never existed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O5m6sJCbZEk
