Ok, I have a question.
As I understand it, the term b-girl references breakdancing specifically, right? That's what the B stands for? Break or breakdancing or whatevs.

So, is breakdancing considered something current? Is it happening right now? Because I remember back in the 80s when you couldn't take two steps outside without seeing the kids in the baggy pants spinning around on top of cardboard boxes on the sidewalk with their boom boxes blasting. The kids in school would breakdance in the hallways until someone came around and told everybody to get their asses to class. That was here in New York, where I still live. My point is, here in New York, I haven't seen anyone breakdancing since like the early 90s.

There's a group of guys who put on a "show" down on Union Square sometimes...they have a "boom box" that plays Billy Jean in a loop (I guess that's the only breakdancing song they know) and they do a little spinning around, but the guy mostly just talks and gets a crowd around them. Then they spin around for a few minutes and the guy starts asking for money. Honestly, I don't even think of these guys as breakdancers. They don't do what those kids back in the 80s used to do.

I know hip hop is as big as ever, but do people still breakdance?

PS- if anyone says let me educate you, I'm kickin yer ass : )
