And you wonder why one of the favorite pastimes of white folks is not dancing at concerts. Although the Stuff White People Like piece was mostly made in reference to snide hipsters everywhere, it does encompass a little bit of emo, where the only acceptable form of dancing comes in the guise of moshing – where people really get hurt. Looking at the footage of gangly, awkward movements on the part of DNC-goers, there’s no question as to why people don’t want to dance at events such as that. If you let your guard down, you could wind up looking like an idiot. But, it’s better to have fun at the expense of your image every so often than let your “cool” factor get the best of you. I mean, hey, look at this pundit:
