First coined in 2003, the term ‘flash mob’ is used to describe a large group of people who assemble suddenly in a public place. Before quickly dispersing, the flash mob participants are known to perform a particular action for a brief period of time. In recent history, such mobs have been organized via telecommunications channels, social media, or viral emails.
Interestingly, the first flash mobs were orchestrated for apolitical purposes.
