man im glad heads are finally realizing how watered down shit is nowadays...the internet dun fucked things up..i aint gonna lie...i watch sum clips on the web..and theres usually only 1-2 clips that catch my eye a month...but whenever i dig thru my old school 90's crate...gooood dayum...all the battles are HOTT !...i admit , bboys werent that keen on dancing or hittin the beats back then...but i prefer watching how bboys battled styles vs styles back then...rather than nowadays everyone looks the same and will usually try to top another bboy with the same move....i mean sure everything evolves but just seems like bitting nowadays is ok...thats another main thing that fucked things up...the biting issue was like "ZERO TOLERANCE" back then...thats wat preserved the originality back then...i almost seen cats nearly fight each other over biting back then...nowadays people just let it fly, cus they probably think its a recycled move that every bboy can use...naw fuck that...i came up thru bboyin in the 90's and was taught to always come up wit ur own shit...in fact the only moves that were ok to do back then was power moves, six step, sum simple foot work, very limited threads and u had to leave the rest up to ur imagination...but naw today, the move u made up is everyone else's move...bring the 90's mentality back !
