Talk:Stealth disco

message: Since the original instigators disappeared, Stealth Disco has lost a bit of steam, but I think that the emergence of video blogging should increase the number of people who do this. I can see the argument to delete this, but I would suggest leaving it as a stub for a while longer until video blogging takes off a bit more. 
Would it be helpful to provide links to actual videos of stealth disco? --Joi 02:15, 22 May 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Perhaps.  Since I'm the one who asked for an explanation (and thank you for opening this discussion rather than just deleting the explain tag like some people do), I should let you know that I'm simply concerned about the article's topic not being particularly encyclopedic.  I'm hesitant to say that something that simply appears to be a method of goofing off at work to need this sort of coverage.  At the same time, genres of comedy get their own articles.  I'm usually pretty quick to pull the VfD trigger, but I want to give this one a chance.  =) --Jemiller226 05:14, 22 May 2005 (UTC)

text: I agree with Jemill226 about this not quite being an encyclopedia article.  But wouldn't it be a good dictionary entry over in Wiktionary? --AlvinMGO 14:00, 22 May 2005 (UTC)

text: Someone on my blog found the a link for the original video so I've added it here. I've also asked others to try to contribute more to the article. Can you give it a  few more days. ;-) --Joi 19:53, 22 May 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: *shrugs*...sure, why not.  =)  Of course, I doubt I'm the only one who's watching this article. --Jemiller226 06:12, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Did you watch the video? Did you think it was funny? ;-) --Joi 23:55, 24 May 2005 (UTC)

message: This isn't suitable for an encyclopedia entry; it is philosophizing on the subject, however, and quite suitable for this page. 
===Concept===
Stealth Disco is another example of the dramatic shift in the creation of media. As videotape recorders proliferate, the production of video has moved from centralized control by a few networks to widespread chaos in the hands of the masses. Precisely because it is so trivial (standing behind someone at work and dancing), stealth disco is a perfect milestone in the progression of how ideas spread in our culture.  It is particularly suitable for illustrating the idea of an echo chamber, a communication phenomenon where a group of people who communicate mostly with each other can inflate the apparent significance of a single idea, event, or meme within that group.
I am going to remove the word 'loser' from the article. Unless a person chooses to re-insert it into the text within qoutation marks I feel it's inappropriate to have such a subjective, immature and insulting term in place without a justification.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.203.45.147 (talk) 02:49, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Concept

message: Looking through the list of internet phenomena I noticed that most of them are nouns -- an event or image or video that gets passed around and riffed on a lot.  This one, though not as large as many, was a verb -- an action or transaction, varying widely in context and performance. "Yo Dawg" is another one; neither on the list. +sj+ 00:47, 13 February 2010 (UTC)
