First we started with planking, then owling, and then it go so hot we just dove in. We're all familiar with planking. (Some tragically so.) An obvious exponent would be owling (even by celebrities! and more celebrities!) Now we're leisure diving.

I have never planked, owled, or leisure dived - but I don't think I will ever understand the sociological/psychological reasoning behind the pure hatred that comes as a response from internet-folk when they see a bunch of young people goofing around having fun.

These are not 'young people goofing around having fun' (disclaimer: I haven't, as is my custom, even bothered following any of those links) -- it is young people recording themselves aping pointless trends, expressly to been seen doing so, preferably on the internet.

There is a world of difference between simple pleasures derived from enjoyable activities, and repeating some new twitter-trending pointless behaviour to be part of a notional distributed tribe, with the conscious requirement that one be seen engaging in that behaviour to earn an internet merit badge.

When cameras are ubiquitous and ritual is a trend-of-the-week, mindful existence-in-the-moment goes out the window, and I feel sorry for the poor bastards more than I hate them.

On the other hand, I may just be a joyless, bitter asshole. Or at least a bitter asshole that takes joy in things other than diplaying plumage and subsuming individuality.

I dunno, I've gone out on the town with a group of girls that were alt-model types who appeared to be having an omg!!! BAD ASS TIME!!! based on their Twitter/Tumblr/Instagrams and guess what?

They'd get ready and practice posing for FUCKKING. HOURS. before we left the house.

Get to the bar/club/party/whatever? They look bored, constantly scan the room, pounding drinks and checking their phones.

then they have one or two people decide it's time to start taking Wacky PhotosTM and [content off my post/Internetmemeofmoment] photos happen.

Then, they are literally ready to leave, find something else to do/ignore/pose for photos at, rinse, repeat, possibly fuck some guy and wake up later Tweeting about "uhhhh who wants pho?"

Fuck all that; when I'm having a good time, I'm a blur. I make ugly faces. I sweat. Say what you will, but preferring to live in the moment - unselfdocumented - is the only way I wanna roll.

if you do this and you have fun with it keep doing it - regardless of my opinions, I enjoy others photographing their own shenanigans. I'm just saying some people are living one Tweet/Instagram at a time, and it seems kinda weird to me.

posted by oneswellfoop at 8:26 PM on July 25, 2011

I never really cared for the planking and never heard of owling until tonight, but what I like about leisure diving is that you only have a few milliseconds to get the pose.

And I guess there are opportunities to be original - like the few poses where the guy was sleeping, or watering the plants or pouring a drink.

It can be somewhat artistic and fun.
And it doesn't seem to be that dangerous (except for this one - it looks like she doesn't have enough forward momentum and might crash into the concrete), so the scaredy cat in me approves.

Leisure diving, though, has the added yuck factor of being 100% bourgeois.
Is it because these folks have a pool in their back yard?
Granted a lot of these places look like they are country houses, but it's not really a requirement.

No, really, it' just a bunch of kids/20-somethings taking pictures and then checking the digital camera like "awww yeahh dude that one was PERFECT!" And then they high five and maybe post it on Facebook or a blog, maybe not. But they made something, kind of, even it it's been done before. Then they went and did something else and sort of forgot about it, and frankly don't give a shit if they engaged in "pointless behavior to be part of a notional distributed tribe".

I think planking is pretty idiotic, but only because it requires absolutely no skill or effort. Lying down is not a skill.

Ditto owling.

I kind of like the leisure jumps, because the costumes, timing...etc. at least requires some effort, imagination and timing to create something so patently silly.

I would be interested in MeFi's reaction to the jump series (not at all famous), which I quite like.

Part of the problem is that it doesn't seem fun. Planking seems like the opposite of fun. Actually, IIRC when planking first started it was sort of about the surreality of someone just lying there in a place you normally wouldn't see them. Then it became simply about holding your body ridged in some weird angle, no longer surreal but rather like a really stupid form of 'extreme sport'.

The Owling thing started out like a week ago and is already stupid.

a notional distributed tribe

So a group? Scenes aren't limited by geographical proximity anymore, so these 'tribes' are like minded people getting 'together' and participating in scene-specific activity (aka Fun). They're not recording it for us, they're recording it for themselves because it DOES mark them as belonging to 'a notional distributed tribe' and shows the other tribe members they're in. Planking is to the TwitterGramFace tribe as letter jackets, mohawks, a workable knowledge of obscure facts about Star Wars and ear gauges are to other notional distributed tribes. Their tribal identification just needs to be differently disseminated if they want to join the non-geographical tribe. And like all those things, we can gawk at it and do gawk at it but it doesn't exist for US to gawk at. Its not x-whoring. Its identification. Its for themselves to knowingly nod/laugh at.

Also, its called Leisure Diving? Back in my day (which I think technically is still going on, old-dudes), we just called that Summer Camp.

mindful existence-in-the-moment goes out the window

That happens when kids get drunk, too, and they've been doing that for centuries.

On the other hand, I may just be a joyless, bitter asshole. Or at least a bitter asshole that takes joy in things other than diplaying plumage and subsuming individuality.

Sometimes it's nice to subsume one's individuality for a while, to surrender for just a few minutes the heavy burden of being oneself and being aware in favor of screwing around in front of the camera, trying on poses. And honestly, if someone were going to screw around in front of the camera, trying on poses, I'd rather they pose in these ways than in the same old "sexy" or "coolly bored" poses. People are going to be unoriginal—but this is an interestingly immediate and sort of original way of being unoriginal, and one that doesn't require buying anything. Moreover, there's definitely a sense of humor evidenced by this sort of posing, even if it's just the sense of humor of the people who started the whole thing.

It seems the only reason to do it is to show the world that you, too, are capable doing what everyone else is doing. Um... Yay? In my day, being trendy and unoriginal was something to be ashamed of; it certainly wasn't something you'd show off.

Clearly you guys have never had the joy of being a teenage girl. It's a condition that subsides after a while, but at least for the first few years, in my experience, being trendy and unoriginal is all you want to do. Granted, there are plenty of guys owling and planking and whatnot, too; I guess the larger point is that I think most people have gone through times in their lives, often hormone-influenced ones, when they're not paragons of originality. (If you guys have been paragons of originality and authenticity since birth, well, I congratulate you.) Many snap out of it later on and become original thinkers. Many more don't. There are things you can do to inculcate original thinking in those around you, but ultimately, I think many people may prefer being part of a something to going their own way, especially if being part of something hits the pleasure centers of their brain just right. Why worry about it? People have been doing "trendy" things and collective, self-subsuming things for centuries.

I have my own version of owling which I've been doing for a few years, I call it "gargoyling". What you do is this; find a good sized building and get up to the roof, crouch on the edge looking spooky with your wings spread a bit. Now, this is the important bit, you are a gargoyle, not a grotesque, and that means you have a job; so when someone walks underneath you, fulfill your downspout function and throw up on them.

Great fun.
