China’s noisy ‘dancing grannies’ silenced by device that disables speakers
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/oct/08/chinas-noisy-dancing-grannies-silenced-by-device-that-disables-speakers
China is home to an estimated 100 million dancing grannies. Square dancing allows older women, many of whom live alone or with younger family members who they accompanied on a move to the cities, to socialise. They form strong bonds, often shopping or doing other activities, including group investments, together, the South China Morning Post reported.
I love stuff like this, and I actually chose to live in West Philadelphia because of the noise pollution. I write in the evenings in a local park, often in the proximity of a group of dancing grannies who do lo-fi step to classic Motown. They don't have great stamina tbh, so I feel that if the 45 minutes they're dancing bothers you then that's your problem.
I would gladly murder the driver of every ice cream truck though.
