fever!


Explanation:
Outra opção; talvez mais apropriada para uma frase exclamativa.

fever: (1) a state of heightened or intense emotion or activity, (2) a contagious usually transient enthusiasm : craze (Merriam-Webster)

Quem se lembra da ferveção nas discotecas nos anos 70-80? Saturday Night Fever... John Travolta e Olivia Newton-John...

--------------------------------------------------

"Ferveção" tem tudo a ver com temperatura; "fever" também. As duas palavras estão intimamente relacionadas a nível semântico!

Example sentence(s):
  • Bay Ridge to show its deep love for disco with 'Saturday Night Fever' tribute party.

the buzz


Explanation:
O agito das baladas, a vida e o movimento nas ruas, a excitação no ar em lugares de encontros sociais, festas, etc. É um termo POSITIVO, enquanto termos como "frenzy", "comotion" e "tumult" caem numa confusão negativa, desagradável.

O termo "buzz" também mantém o registro informal de gíria.

Example sentence(s):
  • The buzz in the air along George Street left me hoping for Sydney's transformation into a proper night city like Tokyo or Hong Kong, where crowds throng to shops, bars and restaurants near our workplaces before heading home.
