Are any of these bombable? 2004 [E:go] Buzzlife Message Board (Mar. 20) “demographics follow-up poll, take 2”: There’s nothing better than lindy-bombing the techno scene!

(Nov. 19) “Dan and Tiffiny Class FAQ”: What is a Lindy Bomb? When dancers converge on one non-swing location with some sort of portable music source to dance, exposing the public to the dance. Another version is to go to hip hop/seventies club etc and dance swing. This was all the rage for a while until it was discovered that the actual effect was opposite of the intended effect (to get people to want to dance). 2005 [JesusWithShoes] Swing Society (Champaign, Illinois) (Mar. 28) “Lindy bombs!”: Who wants to lindy bomb the mall? Who has a boombox for lindybombing use?
