Does the article factor that in? It won't load for me, unfortunately.
But it's interesting that you brought up declining drinking rates. I'm sure that's just as large a factor as well.
edit: It deserves mentioning the level of drinking involved in socializing was never a good thing and I think everyone is more aware of the dangers now.
We can leave your friends behind.
Because your friends don't dance, and if they don't dance,
well, they're no friends of mine.

Good. I was tired of us acting like we could ignore the blatant act of information being prevented from its freedom by being some caste of monks who knew about the magic words to use the internet archive to avoid it.

This seems a bit odd, you'd have to be dancing like a total loon before you got any viral traction. The vast majority of people already dance just by slightly moving their arms whilst gently shifting their weight from one foot to the other. Surely such people don't think anyone would watch videos of their rather lame perambulations?
Whereas the people who do dance like total loons would only welcome internet fame.
Berlin has banned mobile phones from clubs for pretty much ever, but only to prevent pics of people off their tits causing them trouble at work.
