I love it when some random commenter drops some big block of knowledge like this, about art forms that most people dismiss.

The “break” in “breakdancing” comes from the use of the breaks in songs by DJs. Very cool.

I remember maybe in fourth or fifth grade when breakdancing was at its peak popularity. My grandfather asked me if I liked breakdancing. I said that I couldn’t do it, but it was very fun and creative.

He got angry because I liked “black dancing and music.” Except he didn’t use the term “black.”
