Breakdancing?!

Who are you to judge the subject matter as hollow, dated, and pointless? You obviously only know what the mainstream media has told you about this "brief fad" in the 80s. Don't be so quick to dismiss a sub-culture as useless, especially if you've never experienced the culture for yourself. You don't want to come off as a pretentious prick, now do you?

why would you comment on a culture that you know nothing about? It would be like someone who has never skateboarded or done X-treme sports comment and find way to mock a culture. It's not dated. It became big in the 80's because people wanted to find a way to capitalize on something big. Disco is dated. Bboy culture is a culture. At least do research and be an actual person who has lived the lifestyle before making judgmental comments. What a silly thread.

First of all the term is "B-boying" not "breakdancing". Breakdancing was the term the media gave to the dance in the mid 1980's when corporations decided it could generate revenues by exploiting the art form. B-boying was/is a true dance form no different than ballet or ballroom. It takes years of practice and sacrifice to be able to call yourself a B-boy and the art form should not be dismissed by losers like yourself who recall a fad 20 years ago. Nor should it be labeled "homosexual". True b-boying grew out of the gang culture of 1970's New York City. Try calling a real B-boy "gay" and you'll find yourself in the hospital (if you're lucky). Yes, there was a time in the mid-1980's where everyone in America wanted to jump on the bandwagon, learn a few spin moves and call themselves a "breakdancer". That fad had nothing to do with real hip hop culture and true b-boying. If you knew anything about what you're commenting on you would understand that. Rather, you hide behind your computer and spew venom about an art form that helped to create an entire sub-culture as well as promoting a multi-billion dollar industry. Get a clue, you loser!

you fail @ life.

I find it remarkable that anyone would even be compelled to take the time to comment so negatively on something they obviously know nothing about and clearly haven't even seen. You must be pretty busy if you do this for every single film that you deem "pointless". And if not, then why hack this particular film?

"FAD"???
Go educate yourself before showing everyone how ignorant you actully are.

This documentary is obviously for people like you. This whole underground movement is going on right under your nose and you don't see it. You're just stuck in your mainstream.

Oh by the way, b-boys have moved on from headspins and backspins, and do real intricate stuff now like air-flares, air tracks, hollowbacks, elbow flares, etc... stuff that takes more skill than "juggling cantaloupes while blowing bubbles out of your nose."
