Ugh is what I say too. I prefer “tomblike silence.” However, some people need a lot of noise and clapping and dancing around them. Silence is boring for many. Silence also does not guarantee focus on Jesus, it is pretty easy to drift off into thoughts about other things. Just making the effort to go to adoration is a good thing.

Well, then they should avail themselves of the many excellent adult ADHD medications available to those in need of excess stimulation (Strattera, et al) and attend the Adoration in a fully medicated state. I say this not out of meanness nor haughtiness, but out of concern for the souls of my fellow exuberant neo-Catholics.

Just making the effort to go to adoration is a good thing.

Only if going for the right reasons. I haven't watched the video, so I can't speculate on the wrong reasons, but if one is there for the right reasons, others find no reason whatsoever to capture the scene on video or comment on the demeanor of the celebrants.
