Friday night I went out with some friends.

We have one decent bar in town, so on my way home I stopped by to see what would be happening.

I was told that a dj was coming in and would be playing a mix of all different things. Not too bad...might be okay, so we go.

Ended up being crunk basically all night. The ones having the most fun were the dj and the crew he brought with him.

So right there I was thinking overall the dj sucked and was more concerned with himself having a good time.

But looking past that, I found it really boring. Same droning, repetative beat and when the group was out there dancing it was like a group of people having spasms.

Crunk is definately a style. It definately is not easy and is nice to be watched being done well, but as far as something to carry an entire night, I found it a drag.

Anyways...just wondering what ya'll think.

It looks ridiculous but I guess they are just out having a good time so..

I don't know what crunk dancing is.

I'm old.

Nay.I hate it.

I felt SO OLD!!

I was trying to see it objectively. I can see that it is not something anyone can do, but it just looks like spasms to me to some degree.

I was REALLY feeling old until a couple of other people mentioned to me that it seemed like the dj was playing the same song over and over.

In my case, I think it was overall a bad dj.

its interesting ....for about 5 minutes.

Never heard of it. Is it related to drunk dancing in any way?

I searched on youtube to see what it is

It would help to be drunk to do it properly I think.

Crunk dancing isn't really even DANCING! It's more stepping and occasionally leaning back on the downbeat. I'm convinced that actual DANCING is a lost art.

It's definately a style, but I agree it's not dancing.

Seriously, when the group was doing their thing, it was like they were all listening to a different song and NO ONE was on beat.

Neither yah nor nay. More like WTF???!?!?!

I myself wouldn't do it but I don't mind other folks doing it.

how can one define something as dancing or not? :confused:


Its a style of dancing. That's like folks that use to say pop lockin' wasn't dancing.

Its mostly folks that can't do it that say its not dancin'.....not you though Nothin'....at least you got your drunk booty out there...lol.

oh lawd here we go.. look hip hop culture is down the toilet and dead.. if it comes down to these cats dancing like their balls in only shows that what used to be a beautiful culture is a fucking minstrel show.

Nay

ArielB said:

Wtf, those are all completely different from each other in my opinion. All very cool, but totally different.

IAintTheOne said:

wow..you're sounding like some old fart....really. And I didn't say this was a part of hip hop culture but just using pop lockin' as an example.

Relax..really...lol.

I recalled my parents thinking break dancing was just plain stupid.


I think folks get mad when they can't do the dance then dismiss it as stupid

As my daughter said to me one day, "Let me enjoy being a teenager." Meaning stop crapping on everything this generation comes up with because we think so highly of our own.



The robot wasn't really dancin' but ya'll did it

yay

It comes across as rhythmic spasms. What REALLY tripped me out was watching them dance in a group. It was like NO ONE was listening to the same song. To me, that's why it didn't look like dancing if that makes sense.

I was goofing around with it....by no means even close because I wasn't really trying (not quite drunk enough LOL)

And your daughter is adorable! Generation gaps are a bitch
