Teen Dance Crazes

Argentinean Flogging Entices Youth More Than ‘Dancing With the Stars’

— March 24, 2009 — World
Flogging is a new teen dance sensation that could become more popular with youth than Dancing With the Stars has become with adults. Do you know about Flogging? I didn’t know about Flogging, except in the pirate sense (being whipped as punishment). Flogging is a dance craze in Argentina that is making its way to the U.S. Like most trends among teenagers, there is a right way to act, dress and even to pose for photos.

Blackbook.com lists the requirement:

a) Tight, colorful skinny jeans

b) Straightened, long hair hanging over one eye

c) Dancing all spastic to electro beats

d) Posing for photos covering their mouths

e) Worshiping this adorable little androgynous munchkin called Cumbio

f) Carrying around expensive, tricked out cell phones

g) Posting images doing all of the above on the popular social networking site that gives them their name.
Trend Themes
1. Flogging Dance Craze - The Flogging dance craze is gaining popularity among teenagers, presenting an opportunity for businesses in the entertainment and fashion industries to create innovative products and experiences aligned with this trend.

3. Androgynous Fashion - The trend of androgynous fashion, as seen in the Flogging dance craze, opens up opportunities for businesses in the fashion and beauty industries to develop gender-neutral clothing and beauty products.
Industry Implications
1. Entertainment - The Flogging dance craze can disrupt the entertainment industry by inspiring new dance shows, events, and online content targeting the teenage audience.
2. Fashion - The influence of the Flogging dance craze on fashion trends presents opportunities for clothing brands to design and market trendy items such as colorful skinny jeans and gender-neutral fashion pieces.
