As with several ones before it, "Dubsmash", another highly overrated pseudonym promises to threaten the very sanity of even extremely clear-headed social networkers.
To those of you who haven't been wetted by the wave yet, a Dubsmash video has a (usually) self recorded video where a user lip-syncs a movie dialogue or song while the actual audio plays.
As with selfies, #hashtags and memes (I find the last one intellectual though), this new forced nomenclature is gaining popularity at an alarming rate, flooding facebook feeds and accumulating likes and comments, intimidating even casual Facebook and Instagram users into making one, lest they be left out.
This new crazy idea isn't the first and will certainly not be the last of a long chain of such pointless activities today's youth, why, even middle aged folk end up indulging in.
There isn't much to say at this point, for the craze has only begun, except for the fact that its popularity is going to grow exponentially.
I hope to sit back and watch, as but a passive observer, protecting my lucidity.
