SCREENRAVE

Quotes can be quotable for two reasons: what they say and who says them. Sometimes the who has more weight than the what, as in the following gem by Johnny Depp: "I'd rather fight a buzzsaw than dance". A possible comeback for Johnny would be one of those anonymous quotes that give rise to so many clichés: ?Tough luck, it's your loss." Luckily, many people do not agree with the owner of one of the most photocopied faces plastered all over the folders of teenage girls during the 90s, the decade that saw the explosion of a dance culture that is still leaving a trail of exhausted bodies on dance floors around the planet. There are many videos of people dancing on the internet. Enough to deserve the coining of the concept of screenrave. I'm especially partial to the ones that emerge spontaneously from communal or individual delirium. Those moments in which complicity can happen wordlessly.
