Including why 'young people don't dance', which is stuck in my head ever since. I quoted it to someone today and want to send them the clip but can't find it. If this rings any bells with anyone who can point me in the right direction (please), I'd appreciate it.

Manufacturers used to unfailingly put that red status light on the front of camcorders to let people know when they were recording. Nowadays that is a quaint courtesy from a bygone era. People are now constantly subdued, which is how they stay "posed" for the cams.

People can't simply "be" in their immediate social circles anymore. They have to be in the entire world all the time. It reminds me of an Arthur Clarke story, "The Light of Other Days".

One of the things I absolutely LOVE about the movement, and particularly (?) is that this isn't true.

Young people (and older people, who cares about biological age?) making music using technology, and deliberately saying that it doesn't matter if it's shit music, it doesn't have to be polished, it's not there for an algorithm (ironic, given that it's algorave music), and *yes* they're dancing. And they're being filmed. And they don't care.

It is fucking glorious.

I hate the 80s, and this video is still wonderful.

The fact that younger generations don't feel comfortable in public to let loose and dance is extremely depressing for me to learn.

But, I understand the fear of being captured on video for the rest of time during moments of vulnerability .

In the pre-cell phone era of the 80s and 90s, dancing was my weekend therapy. Dancing to DJs and live music with friends and strangers.

Some of the most uplifting moments of my life.

agreed. i loved dancing. i went to clubs and raves all throughout my youth. and i was never bullied in those spaces, but i was bullied in general, so i understand the fear of being recorded and then mocked

i always feel lucky to have gotten to grow up before the internet became a thing.

I guess smartphones and algorithmic social media took a kind of bullying that always existed and made it far more virulent.

Attached: 1 video Tech companies are destroying social structures, preventing young people from building romances and steady relations. Connor Leahy explains spot on how tech companies are acting in a 'wild west' fashion. Getting very rich without taking societal responsibility while leaving a great mess behind.

I'd like to see more of this discussion. I'm at a 20-something wedding this weekend where I suspect there will be dancing but at last night's welcome party I noticed no interaction with the music. It wasn't live but still the tunes had me swaying & no one else did. No single gathering defines a generation. Tonight's wedding will be a "safe space" among friends but I believe his point about socializing in public.

Me too! I can’t dance worth crap but I did anyways. Dancing is self expression. It’s terrible the younger generation won’t experience it.
