sense the world wants to bring back the 80's threw fashion it's only right that the 90's get brought back
i already seen kids on the street with the kid-n-play yes yes ya'll!!!! in 2009

And there I was thinking that the new school peeps didnt understand that the dance has changed.
Thing is, for someone who started in the 70s or 80s it has changed beyond recognition. Almost another culture.
Now you guys know why the oldschoolers have this opinion about the new school. Some say that its not even bboying anymore. Im willing to bet that everybody just loves the way the dance was when they got into it, no matter what era that was.

It used to be like WOO!!! and now it's like meh...

[capbboy]

I still go WOO about when i first saw Bebe battle at ProAm98. That attitude was something else!

i feel what everybody saying let's keep this thread going more ideas more comments..

[JAYRAWKSEC]

seems to me theres alot more talkin ish during battles. which is weird cause i thought we were suppose to express ourselves thru the way we dance. i've seen dudes that were wack and and throw the dude with better skilz off their game. so now u gotta be more mentally tough to complete ur round while someones yelling at u sayin " yo thats garbage son!!!" i dont know guess i like the idea of my move is better than urs.

yeah that's true jay these's days you gotta be mentaly prepared back in the daze' you just went out
and try to top somebody headspin i remember when the headspins were the final moves in the battle
but yeah i love both era's bcuz i am from the now school too!

Some of the differences:

-No one used to spin the bottle at the start of the battle
-Judges wouldnt point
-Most of the breakers would wear running trainers
-You'd never see Russia vs Korea
-People would crash and still get props

[Dean]

spinning the bottle is the worst. get your kissy faces ready.

and people still crash and get props...

I fucking hate that spin the bottle shit........ straight up pussy shit. I remeber in like freestyle session 3 when kats did somethin nasty, heads would just cut eachothers throats over it. Even on FS 4 when beans and rice vs Battle utensils(still luv the sound of that name) caveman just would go in there and straight up get to the point( like his one shot to shoulder blowout or air flare or whatever the fuckin move was). Sometimes kats gotta forget about this "u have to top rock before you break" bullshit and just kill!! I mean i know now heads know that dancing to the musik is critical in bboyin but i think we needed the nineties to show people that blowups was critical to the game too. Thanks 2 Caveman, Ruen, Kujo, Benji(yes i said it BENJI!!!!) and other blowup pioneers for putting shit on the map. FREESTYLE SESSION 3 4 5, BBOY SUMMIT, RADIOTRON, PRO AM, NEW EGLAND BBOY THROWDOWN/SPINFACTOR, SURVIVAL OF THE ILLEST ETC was the fucking shit back then............ Imma stop now. peace

i think spinning the bottle in wikiki wkiki wack who started that trend? it funny how you go to sleep somebody
comes up with great idea to get people ready to battle. back in the 90's peep's battle outta hate today
it's cartoon network hugg's & kisses before you battle i love the new school but there needs to be better
reason to want to smoke somebody not b'cuz you put joint to you lips & say i smoke you and everybody
goes crazy! really you didn't smoke nobody but invisible blunt? in the 90's you head hunted until that person
wuz in tears i been in the b-boy game sense 92 i seen cats outside with real tears in there eyes LOL!!!! bcuz
they really got smoke that's the difference then and now
