Form of assembling humans

A wink mob (or flashmob)[one] is a grouping of people who assemble all of a sudden in a public place, perform for a brief fourth dimension, then quickly disperse, often for the purposes of entertainment, satire, and artistic expression.[two] [3] [four] Flash mobs may be organized via telecommunications, social media, or viral emails.[5] [6] [7] [8] [9]

The term, coined in 2003, is generally not practical to events and performances organized for the purposes of politics (such as protests), commercial advert, publicity stunts that involve public relation firms, or paid professionals.[7] [10] [11] In these cases of a planned purpose for the social activeness in question, the term smart mobs is oft applied instead.

The term "wink rob" or "wink mob robberies", a reference to the style flash mobs assemble, has been used to describe a number of robberies and assaults perpetrated suddenly past groups of teenage youth.[12] [thirteen] [fourteen] Bill Wasik, originator of the first flash mobs, and a number of other commentators have questioned or objected to the usage of "flash mob" to describe criminal acts.[14] [15] Flash mob has also been featured in some Hollywood picture show serial, such every bit Pace Up.[16]

History [edit]

First flash mob [edit]

Flash mobbing was quickly imitated exterior of the U.s.a.. This picture is of "sydmob" 2003, the starting time flashmob held in Sydney, Australia

The first flash mobs were created in Manhattan in 2003, past Bill Wasik, senior editor of Harper's Magazine.[7] [9] [17] The first attempt was unsuccessful after the targeted retail store was tipped off well-nigh the plan for people to gather.[xviii] Wasik avoided such problems during the first successful wink mob, which occurred on June 17, 2003, at Macy's department store, past sending participants to preliminary staging areas—in four Manhattan bars—where they received further instructions about the ultimate event and location simply before the event began.[19]

More than than 130 people converged upon the ninth floor rug department of the store, gathering effectually an expensive rug. Anyone approached by a sales assistant was advised to say that the gatherers lived together in a warehouse on the outskirts of New York, that they were shopping for a "honey rug", and that they fabricated all their buy decisions every bit a group.[twenty] Afterwards, 200 people flooded the antechamber and mezzanine of the Hyatt hotel in synchronized applause for about xv seconds, and a shoe boutique in SoHo was invaded by participants pretending to be tourists on a autobus trip.[9]

Wasik claimed that he created wink mobs as a social experiment designed to poke fun at hipsters and to highlight the cultural temper of conformity and of wanting to be an insider or office of "the next big affair".[9] The Vancouver Sun wrote, "Information technology may accept backfired on him ... [Wasik] may instead take ended upwardly giving conformity a vehicle that allowed it to appear nonconforming."[21] In another interview he said "the mobs started every bit a kind of playful social experiment meant to encourage spontaneity and large gatherings to temporarily take over commercial and public areas simply to bear witness that they could".[22]

Precedents and precursors [edit]

In 19th-century Tasmania, the term flash mob was used to depict a subculture consisting of female prisoners, based on the term wink linguistic communication for the jargon that these women used. The 19th-century Australian term flash mob referred to a segment of society, not an event, and showed no other similarities to the modern term flash mob or the events it describes.[23]

In 1973, the story "Flash Crowd" past Larry Niven described a concept similar to wink mobs.[24] With the invention of popular and very cheap teleportation, an argument at a shopping mall—which happens to be covered by a news crew—speedily swells into a riot. In the story, broadcast coverage attracts the attention of other people, who apply the widely available technology of the teleportation berth to swarm start that consequence—thus intensifying the riot—and so other events as they happen. Commenting on the social impact of such mobs, one character (articulating the police view) says, "We telephone call them wink crowds, and we watch for them." In related brusk stories, they are named as a prime location for illegal activities (such equally pickpocketing and looting) to have place. Lev Grossman suggests that the story title is a source of the term "flash mob".[25]

Flash mobs began every bit a grade of performance art.[eighteen] While they started equally an apolitical act, flash mobs may share superficial similarities to political demonstrations. In the 1960s, groups such as the Yippies used street theatre to betrayal the public to political bug.[26] Wink mobs tin can exist seen equally a specialized form of smart mob,[7] a term and concept proposed past author Howard Rheingold in his 2002 book Smart Mobs: The Adjacent Social Revolution.[27]

Employ of the term [edit]

The starting time documented use of the term wink mob as it is understood today was in 2003 in a blog entry posted in the backwash of Wasik's event.[17] [19] [28] The term was inspired by the earlier term smart mob.[29]

Flash mob was added to the 11th edition of the Concise Oxford English Dictionary on July viii, 2004, where information technology noted information technology as an "unusual and pointless act" separating it from other forms of smart mobs such as types of performance, protests, and other gatherings.[3] [30] Also recognized noun derivatives are flash mobber and flash mobbing.[three] Webster'southward New Millennium Dictionary of English defines wink mob as "a group of people who organize on the Internet and then quickly get together in a public place, exercise something bizarre, and disperse."[31] This definition is consequent with the original apply of the term; however, both news media and promoters have afterward used the term to refer to any form of smart mob, including political protests;[32] a collaborative Internet denial of service set on;[33] a collaborative supercomputing demonstration;[34] and promotional appearances by pop musicians.[35] The printing has also used the term flash mob to refer to a exercise in China where groups of shoppers arrange online to encounter at a shop in order to drive a collective deal.[36]

Legality [edit]

The metropolis of Brunswick, Federal republic of germany has stopped flash mobs past strictly enforcing the already existing law of requiring a permit to use any public space for an event.[37] In the United Kingdom, a number of wink mobs have been stopped over concerns for public health and prophylactic.[38] The British Send Police have urged flash mob organizers to "refrain from holding such events at railway stations".[39]

Offense [edit]

Referred to as wink robs, flash mob robberies, or flash robberies by the media, crimes organized by teenage youth using social media rose to international notoriety beginning in 2011.[12] [13] [xiv] [40] The National Retail Federation does not allocate these crimes as "flash mobs" but rather "multiple offender crimes" that utilize "flash mob tactics".[41] [42] In a report, the NRF noted, "multiple offender crimes tend to involve groups or gangs of juveniles who already know each other, which does non earn them the term 'wink mob'."[42] Mark Leary, a professor of psychology and neuroscience at Knuckles University, said that nigh "flash mob thuggery" involves crimes of violence that are otherwise ordinary, but are perpetrated suddenly past large, organized groups of people: "What social media adds is the ability to recruit such a big group of people, that individuals who would not rob a store or riot on their own feel freer to misbehave without existence identified."[43]

It'southward difficult for me to believe that these kids saw some YouTube video of people Christmas caroling in a food court, and said, 'Hey, we should do that, except as a robbery!' More than likely, they stumbled on the simple realization (like I did back in 2003, but like lots of other people had earlier and have since) that 1 consequence of all this technology is that yous tin coordinate a ton of people to show up in the same identify at the same time.

—Neb Wasik[44]

These kids are taking part in what's basically a meme. They heard about it from friends, and probably saw it on YouTube, and now they're getting their adventure to participate in it themselves.

—Bill Wasik[14]

HuffPost raised the question asking if "the media was responsible for stirring things upwards", and added that in some cases the local authorities did not confirm the utilize of social media making the "use of the term flash mob questionable".[15] Amanda Walgrove wrote that criminals involved in such activities don't refer to themselves as "flash mobs", only that this use of the term is withal appropriate.[44] Dr. Linda Kiltz drew similar parallels between flash robs and the Occupy Movement stating, "As the employ of social media increases, the potential for more flash mobs that are used for political protest and for criminal purposes is likely to increase.".[45]
