Flash Mob? (Austin: professionals, firms, paid)

[Cookiemeister]

Forgive me, I am from a city 20 years behind the times and have never heard of "Flash Mob" until today on City Data... is this some kind of performance art? Yes, I am old enough to be your Mother.

Google Flash Mob. Choose videos. You need to see it. Explaining it does no good. It's performance art. Like most art, you look at it, decide if you like it or not, and that's it. There really is no explaining.

A flash mob (or flashmob)[1] is a group of people who assemble suddenly in a public place, perform an unusual and pointless act for a brief time, then disperse.[2][3] Flash mobs are organized via telecommunications, social media, or viral emails.[4][5][6][7][8][9] The term is generally not applied to events and performances organized for the purposes of politics (such as protests), commercial advertisement, publicity stunts, that involve public relation firms, or paid professionals.

Here are some of the better videos I have seen, they obviously must have practiced the dance steps ahead of time in many of these.
