Dang. The silent rave needs to be compared to the silent disco. This is an event common at European music festivals (at least) where people are given headphones, rather than bringing their own player. Does this change things? Hell yes! Instead of the very error-prone process of all pressing ‘play’ at the same time, people are now all listening to the same music. Except that the silent disco adds a further flourish: there are 2 djs, and thus music on two channels. Users can switch between channels at will, and the music on both is typically at rather different tempi (one high energy, one chill… or so). Now you have two spatially intertwined sets of dancers. Within each set, movement is coherent, but two adjacent dancers may be in different sets.
