Flash Mobs

Flash mobs are groups of people who assemble suddenly in a public place, perform a predetermined act (often a dance or a performance) for a brief period, and then quickly disperse. These gatherings are usually organized through social media, texting, or online communication, enabling participants to coordinate their actions with little to no prior notice to onlookers. Flash mobs often aim to entertain, create a sense of community, or draw attention to a social or political cause. The phenomenon gained popularity in the early 2000s and is characterized by its spontaneous nature and the element of surprise, often turning mundane environments into dynamic arenas of creativity and expression.
