clowning and krumping

Example

Hmmm, who knew? Big feature in the Sunday Times Magazine on krumping. I had no idea this stuff was this big/codified, but then I kind of try to block everything in Southern California out of my head. With the new LaChapelle docu Rize coming out soon, it's a safe bet white kids in suburban everytown USA are doing the krumpty dance by the time school's back in session. I know after Breakin' debuted at the Louis Joliet Mall in 1984, b-boyism spread like wildfire throughout the suburbs of southwestern Chicago.
