But what I saw and heard convinced me that we are allowing something very powerful to take possession of the younger generation. In the first place, I noticed a collective madness, bringing about by the noise level. But secondly, and far more dangerously, I observed that after a time everyone was carried along by the noise, and gave up his/her individuality. By the end I was in the middle of a faceless crowd who clapped and stamped and jumped around like monkeys. It was the most degrading human spectacle I have ever had the misfortune to witness, and I seriously believe that in time to come our present younger generation would thank us if we managed to put a stop to it now.
