See, I was, somewhat, thinking as much. Which is why I asked about the intended audience before. I just don't see krumping being specifically about expressing violence in the sense of street violence. It seems like something different/more to me.

...the only reason I would stop to watch that would be to check if any of the dancers needed medical attention
This has had me laughing for 10 minutes. :lol: I can just imagine you stopping in NYC to "assist" one of these flailing krumpers. "Hey, are you alright guy? Someone call 911 quick! This poor bastard is having a seizure! Someone help hold him down so he doesn't hurt himself." ROFLMAO He would certainly have some words for you after such a confrontation.

I'm going to move the question of what standards and criteria we place on the concept of art to the "Arts" forum. You know, to open it up to anyone who might not otherwise stray into this thread. You guys are welcome to redirect your comments about what is and isn't art to the new thread. Or keep them here, if you want.

I too liked to watch break dancing back when it was popular in the 80's . . .

All the energy in these videos! Whew! Just watching it, I feel like taking a nap now.
