Flash Mobs Cool No More

I won’t lie, I have always wanted to be a part of a flash mob; one that requires a ton of complex choreography, even though I have no formal dance training. I have never wanted it to be a date…

**Cough** Bachelorette

Because I see nothing romantic about it at all. I just want to be in one.

I feel like flash mobs had potential to be highly influencial if they wanted to be. But, the key word in that sentence was “had” the potential. I feel like people are somewhat tired with the major media sources taking over the phenomenon, only to lather rinse repeate it so much that America’s scalp is burning. AT&T and T-mobile took the flash mobs by the horns and even made commercials with them. At first, I thought the AT&T commercial was funny. Now, it is just annoying.

I used to think it was cool if a TV show featured a flash mob. But now, that is just annoying too.

It saddens me that the recent overexposure has been flash mobs, because it makes them less cool and more of a neusance. It gives them less power to influence society, because society won’t want to see another flash mob in a few years. I think that overexposure not only annoys those surrounded by it, it decreases the overall sway and importance the overexposed item could have reached or had by pushing and pushing until people scream “STOP!”

I stil want to be in a flash mob, but I don’t want to do it as much anymore because the masses have taken it over.

Wait…

Is this a hipster mentality?
