London's Shard hosts regular Silent Discos, where partygoers don headphones and dance noiselessly to the music they are listening to. Thanks to the headphones, there is no thudding bassline to shout over -- those who are not dancing can talk, laugh and clink glasses as if they were in their own homes.
While it might become "trendy" among certain pretentious artsy circles, somehow I'm not seeing this really catching on.
ReplyDeleteThen again, I'm firmly in the Stephen Fry camp of dance philosophy, so I might not be suited to accurately judge what the clubbing portion of the population might latch onto as the next big thing.
