A generally accepted view of disco was dancing to the hard rhythm in a bustle in any country in the world. But contrasting "silent disco" is now the rage in Netherlands. Many young people are dancing to the rhythm absorbedly on the dance floor. But you cannot hear that hard rhythm or sound from the floor. The floor is as silent as the grave. Moreover they all wear headphones and are dancing without worrying about other people.
According to those on the inside track, when a rock music festival called "Glastonbury Festival" was held in Britain in June, neighbors complained about the noise lasting throughout the night. The organizer therefore emphasized symbiosis with the surrounding areas and provided young people with headphones to create their own world with the sound from the headphones and strengthen the ties of solidarity and pump up the festival. The story goes that it caught on and has been thereafter here to stay in the disco all over town as well.
