America’s Teens Are Choosing YouTube Over Facebook

I'm dancing Swing dances. Some scenes don't even have a web site or a newsletter (or the web site is always outdated and inaccurate).

But they all plan their dances and workshops meticulously in Facebook.

I can mark dances as "interesting" months before they happen and look up later what's coming next week.

That's especially nice for other scenes than your own, in towns two hours or more away.

It's the only thing keeping me on Facebook, because I don't see how to replace that.

This is also the only reason I keep using Facebook.

Same with me - Blues and Fusion. (The Tango scene is more traditional, websites and flyers.)

Is this popular with American Teens?

I am guessing not. Which kind of makes the GP's point.

At the older end of "teens" - a lot of people enter partner dance scenes when they're starting college. So 18-20-ish. (I'm a late bloomer, only started dancing at 25.)

And at that point, yes, they start to do everything on Facebook.
