Debatable... I'm into electronic music which is a massive genre. This is considered to be* electronic music. I came for the song (mentioned on a podcast) though I stayed for the break dancing.
@@jeffersonjeffo8457 If your only focus is in the hiphop/rap genre then I agree that there is a decline in creativity, rappers dont even release albums anymore they release single after single just to stay trending and so people dont forget about them, where as before they would drop an album, do some touring take a break to create a new album and so on, And there is no message in todays rap either, Its all ignorant bs that they talk about, compared to before with groups like Public Enemy, KrsOne, Rakim, Kool moe dee, Run Dmc, shit even the Beastie Boys and the Fat boys had something to say, Then corporate racist music industry decided to create superstar marketing boy band groups and girl band groups, backstreet boys and spice girls to name a few, and from then on you got American Idol, The Voice pushing out bs singers that are only famous during the competition but then after the show is over you never hear about them again and yeah just bs after bs just like the current politicians full of bs, and the house of senate full of old ass dinosaurs, and Woah! woah! let me pull the reigns on this horse so i can get off ✌
I was born in 1971. My teenage years were full of this in L.A. I was 13, when this song came out. 80s were my teen years, 90s my young adult days. I'm so blessed to have lived in 2 great decades!!! 👍
Well in Miami there was lots of violence it was the scarface drug lord miami vice days and it was real and still exists today to a slightly different extent. I should know I was born and raised in Miami.
Yep it’s pathetic it’s because in America it was a culture thing on the streets of New York with blacks and Ricans. Today it’s white peoples doing it sorry just a fact not being racist. You send whites this is the results
Those who never got to experience the 80's will NEVER understand how amazing it was. Life was a blast and the music...will NEVER be duplicated! The dancing, the music, the girls...I could go on for hours. I miss the 80's.
I was a kid in the early 1980's we were at the roller rink rollerskating to this song. Miss rollerskating in the early 1980's. The early 1980's was the best time to live the United States. Miss the the early 1980's.
I'm 50, and I'm telling you now...the 80's is at THE top of the food chain when it comes to music, dancing and talent. No decade will ever come close to the 80's, NEVER!
50’s best for overall life conditions 70’s best environment drugs 80’s best for music / intro to videos and games 90’s hated the 90’s music lol.. grunge :/ Now EDM when that came on the scene and the ecstasy was pure back in the mid 90’s that was a fun time too
This was the shit we we re all having so much fun me my cuz my babys father and many good friends we re all down with this and in a truck club knowing we were the shiiiiiiit😂😂😂😂😂😂
*Who else came to witness some* *authentic old-school* *breakdancing after that* *gentrified Olympic sport? It's* *time to watch the real masters in* *action!*
My husband Is 55 year old an was also a break dancer in 84' an still loves his music sadly to say he's fighting for his life right now in the hospital an we all praying for you baby I love you very much!!!😢
This 54 yr old can pop, lock and drop. Being double jointed in all of the joints and with arthritis helps them to keep the flex ability. But my knees would lock and then I drop. 😂😂😂 learned from the best went to Compton and my friend had a block party. Her Auntie had invited The Clown. Had a lot of fun and learned about dance wars. Also, everyone competed for dance offs and more.
Yessss! 80s baby.. 84 to be exact. I played this song the minute of my 40th bday at 12am.. I love this and it was the first thing I heard turning 40 and I am so grateful ❤ I don't know why I'm so attracted to 80s music but I am and it makes me think that I was turnt TF up in the womb in 84 when all this great music came out! Lol😂
Born in 72 and every time I hear this song it makes me want to start popping and locking cuz I get so hyped up but, I can not dance to save my life 😅 The 80's were the best and I'm so glad I was able to experience this music firsthand ❤❤
I'm 58 and this song still gets me dancing 🕺.. Nothing is like the 80's. Especially when it comes to dance. Those were the days we played together instead of this virual fake world we live in today.
I am so proud to have come of age in the 80's. We danced All night, guys took care for girls without looking for anything else but a good time on the dancefloor. So many good memories
@@james3440 naw fool y’all got no talent or originality y’all shit old after first month of play lmfao I still listen to this and I was born in 89 😂 yall mf don’t be talking bout nothing nobody ain’t did already y’all good but plain like a yellow bag of lays potatoe chips 😂 y’all gotta get some ass shakers to make it sell
When the dancefloor cleared and a circle formed...you knew it was about to go down. I was born in '73 so most of my youth was in the 80's...an absolute blessing indeed.
'73 Team...my youth was in the 80's too, i discovered Hip Hop with this TV show in France in 1984, the first in the world. th-cam.com/video/snUL2IBlB88/w-d-xo.html with Boogaloo shrimp and Shabba doo.
All of them on the left of the floor sucked, the ones with the stripes on there pants were far better, I never broke or popped in 85 cuase I felt I would get hurt for baseball but in the early 80s everyone around me was popping or breaking.
I am a Chicagoan from Little Village. Break dancing was a unification of youth back in the 1980's. Kids who danced on the street and competed. We did'nt kill each other we "Battled each other " meaning we competed. I am in my mid 50's and i wish i was a kid again back in the 80's

I'm 53 and loved the breakdancing era. I was so excited with this new dance, hi-fi, zx spectrum, and clubbing it. Best years of my life. I couldn't breakdance as it took a crew, the stereo and the right environment. I had one or two people who knew how to body Pop but nowhere near this level. I guess my skill was recording and sampling. As I say, i needed the right crew to excel in this. Thank God for the 80's so awesome!! But still, the memories were awesome
Created in 73, God gave me the opportunity to experience the 70s. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to experience thus time. Love it. Music when it meant something. Crazy stuff this decade.🤔💯👍💯👍
I born in 1973 I remember this era like was yesterday thanks god for letting me live in this beautiful decade, 2024 and I still play this music also keep conserving my 1985 k5 blazer as my weekend toy, thanks for sharing, this times never comes back again.

@@uncletony3025 That is so cool. I grew up in NYC and remember back in the 80's watching them on the street corners breaking on cardboard boxes. Those were the good old days. By the way I love your TH-cam name. I had an Uncle Tony. God I miss him so much 😢
@@FuturesPast1 here in California they battled at the High School Auditorium. A lot of them would practice at the parks, they would move the park seat and lay cardboards down. The best dancer I ever saw wore a mask and we never saw his face, but he was built like a gymnast. He’d fly in the air land and do the splits, do a jumping windmill, head spin for days, all kinds of crazy moves. We had tapes of everything but lost it all in a house fire.
I’m 51 and remember dancing to this at school dances and house parties. The 80s were the absolutely best decade! I will always dance when I hear this song. My knees may not, but dammit I will!😂
So who’s here April 23, 2024? Beat Street and Breakin’ was the movies. I was 15 when I started to breakdance. Me and the crew was popular among the teens especially the gurls. Those was some great times out there with your boom box and a roll of linoleum mat. Miss those dayz. 1983-1985. I can still poplock but no more breaking. Leave that stuff to the young ones😅😊❤❤❤
born in '71 and i revisit this vid several times a year. Everythig you siad, except we had to use cardboard...the only access to linoleum was installed on the kitchen floor lol.
Man listen. I was born in 71' and grew up in the 80's. I'm GenX and I means to tell you that growing up during Hip-Hop's inception along with popping and break dancing was some of the best fun of my childhood. If you're a generation, or generations after me then you missed a lot and fortunately we have video and movies for nostalgia. Don't get me wrong. I'm a fan of hip-hop and really good gritty rap so I loved the 90's and much of the 2000's. Even as I type this in 2024 there are still some really good artist out there...even some underground rappers such as Vin Jay, Vinnie Paz, Celph Titled, Apathy and a whole host of others.
That’s cool I’m from the generation after you Generation Millennials so I grew up with all of those 90's Rappers and those after but I also likes to listen to the rappers from the 80's like Rakim, Big Daddy Kane, Grandmaster Flash, Too Short, Afrika Bambaataa, LL Cool J, MC Hammer, Kool Moe Dee, KRS-One, Slick Rick, Biz Markie, Treach, Kool G Rap, Egyptian Lover, Marley Marl
I’m 51 and I always thought he was a cutie. He was my boyfriend in my head.😆 Didn’t know that he and Lela Rochon were married once upon a time. She was always so pretty to me.
This song changed my life. I just switched schools in grade 9. Last year of junior high. I had had some problems with depression and I had started drinking in grade 6. I was nervous. My first day. Came out of the bathroom and was walking towards the common area where all the kids were waiting and I could hear a beat. It was loud. I looked and it was a girl I knew from my previous school holding a ghetto blaster and she was blasting this song. I had never heard anything like it before. I walked up to her and said hello. We were inseparable that day forward. Hip hop gave me something to look forward to. Going to break dancing competitions and really getting into the whole scene. My life completely changed after that. The 80’s were so fun I can’t even put it into words to describe it properly. It was so new... the music etc. It was an exciting time to be a teenager. I will forever be grateful and this song was the start of all of it
@@roberttruesdell6151 damn, sheltered much... 😂😂😂 (Take it as a compliment, I was exposed to drugs and alcohol ever since I could remember, poverty sucks...)
I have seen this video and danced to this song since a teen, but never have i truly appreciated the skills and energy these dancers demonstrated in this classic song. I’m even more pissed after watching this that breaking won’t be included in the LA 28 Olympics. Ugh!!
@Mark Riley at least we saw it through raw first hand experience If we saw anything more credited to the cause and revolutionary vibe music brings in on every level the meaning of any promise of a coming day and the dreams that make it to the top of the mountain stand with the ones that hoped for the pinnacle, the vibe of truth and the beat goes on eternal, infinite essence there wont ever be anything like we witnessed in the power that music always has & always will be. We saw a miracle in its forming and I testify to that as irreplaceable and sacred. We never forget where we come from Streets of Fire & always down for the cause!
I'm 24 and have always felt like I was born in wrong generation. I love EVERYTHING about the 80s, so simple, no cell phones, nice cars, badass music, seemed like a good time. What I would do to be reborn in the 70s to experience the 80s lol
@Zach Zee Actually cellphones were invented back in the eighties. They were much bigger back then and their were literally only a few broadcast towers back then. But they were so expensive at the time only the rich could afford them.
I was a teen when this was released and breaking was trending. Our high school would open the gym during lunch to give us a safe place to dance. The stands were usually full of kids watching individual and teams challenge each other. Funny how back then beefs were usually resolved on the dance floor, unlike today.
You really don't have no idea! I don't say that to be mean, it's just the facts. I mean through a weekend I would have probably eaten like probably 4 tabs (XTC), 2 each night n when the sun come up I would eat blotter acid most of the time n liquid sometimes usually in a McCormack food coloring bottle n taste like Everclear or Tiquila. You definitely want it cut already if you careless. Might not ever come back. For real I can't explain to you how it was n I miss it kinda. The music especially n the memories I have some I don't know how or why but...... Anyway look up New Beat as a genre of music originally started in Belgium n not Germany but the music CROSSED OVER the invisible devide that even though not official New Beat from Belgium it was n is hard core mostly n it was still good but it was different from Belgium but still very good. That is when the tabs blew up like crazy 4 ways for 10 dollars. 4 people could get fucked up for real n not just a little bit either for $2.50 cents n roll balls all night long with your eyeballs in the back of your head. Those that understand understand. Boy a whole lot of people missed the fuck out on that shit. Just saying Brian M.
I’m 53 now, growing in the 80’s great music. Love the Double Dutch Bus is one of my favorites. My older brother taught me how to robot and the backward kick worm. I can still do the robot but not the kick worm. Taught myself how to pop n lock (being double jointed help). Learned how to pop my hips to the sides lift and right.
I’m 57 and cannot express how much Millennials and Gen-Z missed musically in the 70s and 80s. It’s a shame they learn about this music because of the madness of sampling by today’s “artists”.
@@ttllymxico Uuuh, I was there. The first rap HIT (not first rap song) by the Sugar Hill Gang in 1979 used Chic’s “Good Times” as its music. Only a few rappers sampled. Now, most rappers and some pop acts sample pop music from the 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s. Hell, even this new Asian pop singer gets his entire beat from Rene’ and Angela (early 80s). It’s a compliment…I just hope they properly credit the writers/owners of the original music.
Oh my god, this immediately gave me flashbacks of Saturday night at the skating rink in the 80's. 50¢ nachos, 25¢ Pepsi, Dig-Dug, and the smell of used rental skates. God I wish it was the 80's still.
@@billsimms2511 I don't think so. My town used to have two rinks, but both have been closed for decades. Plus, parents today would never drop their kids off anywhere by themselves. The internet has made people afraid of the world. I'm always hearing about some nosey neighbor calling the police because some kids were playing unsupervised in their own front yard or police arresting the parent because their 12 year old walked home from school alone. The 80's were awesome for a lot of reason. It must suck to be a kid these days. I know being an adult isn't a lot of fun.
Where tf did Hip Hop go after this era smh. I was raised in this era with songs like this.
2 ปีที่แล้ว +36
I am brazilian 🇧🇷. I am from São Paulo and I was 14 years old in 1984 when It had played this song. I danced break a lot in the high school, squares and parties. I am so glad had lived that time. I hope everyone are listening this nowadays (2022) have much memories, experiences and histories to tell your sons, from the a world much more simple and different.
This tune gives me the chills! Takes me back to the 80's! We weren't stuck to our phones we were out there jamining and taking on other crews. Making memories that will last years!
and now you are the grandpas talking shit about the teenagers of today. Bet you were bitching about it when your generations old people told you your breaking shit was nonsense and that the 1950s were the real deal. How the fuck does every generation go through the same cycle of "our generation was the best"? Just enjoy the time you had and accept that you know nothing about the culture of today's kids you grumpy old man
We're all almost senior citizens now, and I'm proud to have been around break dancing's inception. Kid's today have taken it to a whole other level. This was one of my favorite songs and video.
Exactly. It was a wonderful time to be a kid and grow up. We witnessed MTV when it was just videos Check out Sugar Hill Gang. 53 and still know the words
You are giving them too much credit. Before lockdowns, I was 41. Chick dancing like a gymnastics star. Ppl usually would shove tips in my belt. I ask one of the shy djs if he wanted to afterparty at my hot tub. He said, "How about you come out to my hot tub". So I did. Super impressed with all his computer tech. The next morning I asked how old he was. Guessing 35 but I was wrong he was 25. I often get mistaken for younger. But he freaked out. I didn't hear back from him. If the whole club thinks I'm younger since getting into clubs. Like what a wimp he ghosted me. I wanted to pick his mind on all computerized day job things. Nope. I barely was into the after party but their set was exceptional. This club was La Cage, Jeffrey Dahmers old stalking grounds. I could have lied about my age, but I'm a 1978 Vintage model. I'm proud to be from 78.
The East Coast was acrobatic breakdancing and the LA scene was Poppin & Lockin. Back in the 80s, I was too young to understand the difference between the two, but as an adult looking back on those years, I now recognize the contribution that both coasts have made for the culture.
1984. house party. brought my walkman. went for a stroll outside and put on the local dance station. this song came on. 16 years old and my body felt every note and beat. love this song to this day. you do the math.
The 80,s absolutely greatest decade EVER for movies, toys, video games, music,TV shows ,fashion,sport cars, celebrities, real hiphop rap,fast food, WWF sports and a whole lot More.... NEVER to be replicated 🇺🇲🇵🇷
Remember Tonka had real heavy duty trucks made from metal not plastic to save money? Radio Flyer Wagon was real and not plastic? Love the 80's never forget!!! 80's baby I am born in 84
I was 19 in 84 and this song was in the dance clubs I remember watching people gather on the dance floor to watch breakdancers, how in the hell did I get old, this feels like yesterday , it’s funny how a Song can take you back in time so quickly! Damn I loved the 80’s wish I could go back be young , pretty, petite, and wear all those outfits from that decade. If it was possible to go back for a least one night as we used to say it would be totally awesome!
Puerto Ricans started breakdancing Then came the Culture Vultures smh To add insult to injury they don't let the Puerto Ricans or any hispanics in tje Rapp hip hop industry....... Facts 🤦♂️
This song was all the rage back in the '80s. This was released my freshman year of high school. If you were around during this time, we had it really good!
I’m a 55 year old female and I listen to this song regularly on Spotify. I remember in high school in the 80’s guys were break dancing at parties and it was mesmerizing.
@@enriquecortes1948 no internet back then. Movie took place in the Bronx where it started. But L.A. was popin back then too sound was a little different but great i was in Boston mass back then.
@@richlong4119 yes, that's what I meant, . . .WHERE WERE YOU THEN, I seen the movie and know it's from new york, break dancing, (back then), was called New York Style, in Los Angeles that is. Good times. Take Care bro.
This is my EARLIEST MEMORY OF MUSIC. Got Off the subway with my Grandma and I saw all these boys with a boom box and a cardboard platform they was dancing on. I was like 5 or 6. We were going shopping. I remember she brought me a Star Wars figure that day. I still remember the smell of the Woolworths. Hotdogs and hot pretzels!
Omggggg!!!! Dude... I've lived out the same experience on Jamaica Ave near where the now out business "Mays" used to be!!! Me, my lil sister, my Mom and my Aunt Ivy was getting some pizza from the lil hole in the wall joint next door!!!!😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
Omg! Woolworth 's. My grandmother would buy a bag of hot salted peanuts that sat under a heated lamp. Sometimes we'd have lunch there. It was on Jamaica Ave. in New York. I was so little. I wanna go back too.😔
Started 1980 as a ten year old & was fortunate to be a teen during the 80’s. No cell phones…no home computers. Just mtv & lots of great music & dance. People got along & you didn’t have to worry about being woke or politically correct. No unisex bathrooms or people identifying themselves by using pronouns. You were a guy or a girl & if you were gay, no problem. The music of that time brought all kinds of people together.
47 now I remember when we was kids and we would find the biggest piece of cardboard and lay it out in the front yard and just get down, man it was so much fun🤪🤪🤪
@@ricoaztec1 Yeah, when I was 10-11, there wasn't much to do after dark but once I was older I would still come home when it got dark but then I would sneak back out so I could hang out with the older crowd

Hi Kevin! Right witcha darlin!
Same here, born in 71, grew up in AZ seeing all this!
No cussin, no guns, no violence. Just sound and dance. That was the 80's. Glad I got to experience it.
Lmao. Dumbest thing I've ever read.
Well in Miami there was lots of violence it was the scarface drug lord miami vice days and it was real and still exists today to a slightly different extent. I should know I was born and raised in Miami.
Similar to Michael Jackson.
If you had a problem with somebody you getting their face and dance it off
That’s how you know it was a movie. There was plenty of all that, it just wasn’t sensationalized for tv and politics.
I was born in 69 and was a teenager in the 80's. The diversity in music, dancing etc was such a great time and era. Still makes me smile.
Born the same year. Feel the same💕
69 here TOO
A few years earlier, but it was a cacophony of music.
little bit older here, but the the 80s were the best.
Same year same opinion
Who's watching this afte seeing the 2024 Olympics. They didnt hold a candle to these guys and gals
They've only had 40 years.
I needed a pallette cleanser.
Yep it’s pathetic it’s because in America it was a culture thing on the streets of New York with blacks and Ricans. Today it’s white peoples doing it sorry just a fact not being racist. You send whites this is the results
I needed to watch actual talent after the comedy.
My thoughts as well
These dancers would own the 2024 Olympics. Period!!!!!!! You can't do it like they did back in the day!!!!!!!

Period
FACTS 😊
💯 agree no match for the ympics period!!! 😊🎉🎉🎉💃
I went to Junior High school school with Noel. He was in the group wearing red Those were the days😊🎉🎉🎉🎉
Those who never got to experience the 80's will NEVER understand how amazing it was. Life was a blast and the music...will NEVER be duplicated! The dancing, the music, the girls...I could go on for hours. I miss the 80's.
So true. Those were the days.
Truth bro.. truth
I feel sorry for my Kids :( you do realise the younger generations consider us dinosaurs :(
Mc max thier jealous on the inside, Were never Dinosaurs unless you portray yourself as one
Best decade of my life.
I'm 60yrs old and loved and miss the 80's it was a time of fun and great music this brings back a lot of memories
I was a kid in the early 1980's we were at the roller rink rollerskating to this song. Miss rollerskating in the early 1980's. The early 1980's was the best time to live the United States. Miss the the early 1980's.
I'm 50, and I'm telling you now...the 80's is at THE top of the food chain when it comes to music, dancing and talent. No decade will ever come close to the 80's, NEVER!
The only decade worse than the 80s was the 2010s. 2020s are off to a pretty awful start as well.
the 90's was good also
Sorry friend, the 80s were damn good, but the 70s beats it hands down, i know, i was there :).
50’s best for overall life conditions
70’s best environment drugs
80’s best for music / intro to videos and games
90’s hated the 90’s music lol.. grunge :/
Now EDM when that came on the scene and the ecstasy was pure back in the mid 90’s that was a fun time too
It is also the decade that get sampled/cloned/copied on so many levels whether it be music or other things
I was born in 1964 and I still say this is 🔥🔥🔥 This is real Rap Music
'67 here and it's what I first considered Rap music
This was the shit we we re all having so much fun me my cuz my babys father and many good friends we re all down with this and in a truck club knowing we were the shiiiiiiit😂😂😂😂😂😂
I was born in 65 and I also have a great love and appreciation of this music.
The only rap music!
End of the Boomer's beginning of gen X. Gen X started this.
Had to come watch some real old school breakdancing vs watching the 1st round of Olympics. Young teen of the 80s really was a good time to grow up in
*Who else came to witness some* *authentic old-school* *breakdancing after that* *gentrified Olympic sport? It's* *time to watch the real masters in* *action!*
2024 Olympics is just a shadow of this
Just saw some dumb video post on X about it... So here I am LoL
That Olympics was something all right.
Refreshing 🌧️🥳❤
Nothing better than these guys in the movie, I wish they put Bronx competitors in LA28 to show what the real moves are
I am the old-school,this is the true break dance.🎉🎉🎉
Nobody knows the difference between 2000-2024, but man 1970-1999 are so impactful in terms culture and music
more like 1964 - 1997

This 61 year old can still pop, lock, top rock, moonwalk and break! Great memories from the best Hip Hop Decade - The 80's!
That was the best time,I remember 😊 that's impressive you've still got your poppin' skillz,much respect.
Me to😆
This 54 yr old can pop, lock and drop. Being double jointed in all of the joints and with arthritis helps them to keep the flex ability. But my knees would lock and then I drop. 😂😂😂 learned from the best went to Compton and my friend had a block party. Her Auntie had invited The Clown. Had a lot of fun and learned about dance wars. Also, everyone competed for dance offs and more.
Yes sir! Respect
RIP the greatest time. I remember PLENTY of battles back in the 90s/2000s...
The 70s and 80s best year's of life.
Damn straight born 69’
This video reminds me how much better life was without knee pain 😅🤣😂
Amen! 😂
this video had me rethinking if i still had a windmill or a crabwalk in me.. hahahaha
Hahaha..same
Nah for real.. cause currently my back is hurting like a MF 😢😂
😂😂😂
I was break dancing to this in the 80's, best times ever!
Omg. I’m an 80s baby and when I tell y’all it was live back then, it was ALL THE WAY LIVE.
Yessss! 80s baby.. 84 to be exact. I played this song the minute of my 40th bday at 12am.. I love this and it was the first thing I heard turning 40 and I am so grateful ❤ I don't know why I'm so attracted to 80s music but I am and it makes me think that I was turnt TF up in the womb in 84 when all this great music came out! Lol😂
The first break Dancer is my Father in red Ramon! I’m so proud of him. Still have some moves on his 53 year old. 😂❤️
That's so cool!
My Father heard that loud in his VW Käfer:))))))
wowwwww cool story
First breaker is actually Anthony Lopez aka Powerful Pexster of the NYC breakers.
I assume NYC?
Born in 72 and every time I hear this song it makes me want to start popping and locking cuz I get so hyped up but, I can not dance to save my life 😅 The 80's were the best and I'm so glad I was able to experience this music firsthand ❤❤
That's the gospel
Красава бро!
I can relate! I tell you though, in my mind I be jamming!! My arms and legs be everywhere lol You can't tell I ain't doing it right 😂
same here we got old🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Because popping and locking is what we did back then. All the best!
They went from recognizing each others talents to the whole world giving them the recognition they deserve!
Who’s still jamming out to this song in 2024?
Still rocking it march 2024

When the dancefloor cleared and a circle formed...you knew it was about to go down.
I was born in '73 so most of my youth was in the 80's...an absolute blessing indeed.
'73 Team...my youth was in the 80's too, i discovered Hip Hop with this TV show in France in 1984, the first in the world.

Omg…I was born in 1973 also and i remember soul train dancers
73' as well! Am more than blessed to have witnessed all of the good and bad. Was a military brat too!
All of them on the left of the floor sucked, the ones with the stripes on there pants were far better,
I never broke or popped in 85 cuase I felt I would get hurt for baseball but in the early 80s everyone around me was popping or breaking.
Born in 1976 I remember my older family members trying to break dance🤣🤣 the 80s was a fun time🤩🤩
The 1980s is one of THE DECADES that will never be beaten!
I'm in my early 50's and the 80's had some of the all-time best movies to come out too.
The 90s did that for us already lol

The best time to be a teenager
I’m glad I grew up then
With normal people around
@@katastrafika5253 wonderful years that will not return 😢😢
I am a Chicagoan from Little Village. Break dancing was a unification of youth back in the 1980's. Kids who danced on the street and competed. We did'nt kill each other we "Battled each other " meaning we competed. I am in my mid 50's and i wish i was a kid again back in the 80's
Grew up in the NW burbs in the 80’s. Agree 100%. Grew up in the roller rink and we taught each other how to dance to this jam and the others.

73 here, and I miss the 80's so bad!
I'm 53 and loved the breakdancing era. I was so excited with this new dance, hi-fi, zx spectrum, and clubbing it. Best years of my life. I couldn't breakdance as it took a crew, the stereo and the right environment. I had one or two people who knew how to body Pop but nowhere near this level.
I guess my skill was recording and sampling. As I say, i needed the right crew to excel in this. Thank God for the 80's so awesome!! But still, the memories were awesome
Created in 73, God gave me the opportunity to experience the 70s. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to experience thus time. Love it. Music when it meant something. Crazy stuff this decade.🤔💯👍💯👍
Created in 1964 and I feel you❤
I'M 55 YEARS OLD, THIS SONG NEVER GETS OLD, THIS SONG TAKES ME BACK TO THE SIMPLEST TIMES IN MY LIFE, MUSIC HAS CHANGED SOO DRASTICALLY. ❤

Same here Electro Buggie 1984-85 south Bronx.
Can you imagine all the talent and physical fitness and agility that goes into all of this??? Absolutely amazing!
Most of these dancers were so athletic I bet they would have been good enough to go to the olympics and beat every country for the gold in gymnastics!
A lot of them did gymnastics in college. Others would practice for hours every day. I seen many of these dance battles in the early 90’s.
@@uncletony3025 That is so cool. I grew up in NYC and remember back in the 80's watching them on the street corners breaking on cardboard boxes. Those were the good old days. By the way I love your TH-cam name. I had an Uncle Tony. God I miss him so much 😢
@@FuturesPast1 here in California they battled at the High School Auditorium. A lot of them would practice at the parks, they would move the park seat and lay cardboards down. The best dancer I ever saw wore a mask and we never saw his face, but he was built like a gymnast. He’d fly in the air land and do the splits, do a jumping windmill, head spin for days, all kinds of crazy moves. We had tapes of everything but lost it all in a house fire.
@@uncletony3025 So sorry you had a house fire and lost it. It would have been so cool to see.

rest in peace to all the bboys that did not get to see the gold medal in the olympics.....rip chicago bboys...
I’m 51 and remember dancing to this at school dances and house parties. The 80s were the absolutely best decade! I will always dance when I hear this song. My knees may not, but dammit I will!😂
So who’s here April 23, 2024? Beat Street and Breakin’ was the movies. I was 15 when I started to breakdance. Me and the crew was popular among the teens especially the gurls. Those was some great times out there with your boom box and a roll of linoleum mat. Miss those dayz. 1983-1985. I can still poplock but no more breaking. Leave that stuff to the young ones😅😊❤❤❤
Yes!! Beat street, breakin we're great movies, but didn't forget about crush groove. The music was freaking awesome from all of them

I can still hear the elders telling us “all that Breakdancing is about to leave y’all with some broken necks” 😅 …and Now I’m that old!!!😢😂
Man listen. I was born in 71' and grew up in the 80's. I'm GenX and I means to tell you that growing up during Hip-Hop's inception along with popping and break dancing was some of the best fun of my childhood. If you're a generation, or generations after me then you missed a lot and fortunately we have video and movies for nostalgia. Don't get me wrong. I'm a fan of hip-hop and really good gritty rap so I loved the 90's and much of the 2000's. Even as I type this in 2024 there are still some really good artist out there...even some underground rappers such as Vin Jay, Vinnie Paz, Celph Titled, Apathy and a whole host of others.
That’s cool I’m from the generation after you Generation Millennials so I grew up with all of those 90's Rappers and those after but I also likes to listen to the rappers from the 80's like Rakim, Big Daddy Kane, Grandmaster Flash, Too Short, Afrika Bambaataa, LL Cool J, MC Hammer, Kool Moe Dee, KRS-One, Slick Rick, Biz Markie, Treach, Kool G Rap, Egyptian Lover, Marley Marl
Now this is breakdancing! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I’m so proud to be a part of Generation X.

This song changed my life. I just switched schools in grade 9. Last year of junior high. I had had some problems with depression and I had started drinking in grade 6. I was nervous. My first day. Came out of the bathroom and was walking towards the common area where all the kids were waiting and I could hear a beat. It was loud. I looked and it was a girl I knew from my previous school holding a ghetto blaster and she was blasting this song. I had never heard anything like it before. I walked up to her and said hello. We were inseparable that day forward. Hip hop gave me something to look forward to. Going to break dancing competitions and really getting into the whole scene. My life completely changed after that. The 80’s were so fun I can’t even put it into words to describe it properly. It was so new... the music etc. It was an exciting time to be a teenager. I will forever be grateful and this song was the start of all of it
I am so glad to read it. A great story. I still want to learn this movements at age 38. So much time lost. Always regreat.
Glad it worked out for you. Have you seen Herbie Hancock's 'Rock It'?

Those were the days of my youth....long gone. I haven't seen anything like it since.
Yup.. Gen X we caught the last of it!
@Mark Riley
at least we saw it through raw first hand experience
If we saw anything more credited to the cause and revolutionary vibe music brings in on every level
the meaning of any promise of a coming day
and the dreams that make it to the top of the mountain stand with the ones that hoped for the pinnacle, the vibe of truth
and the beat goes on eternal, infinite essence
there wont ever be anything like we witnessed in the power that music always has & always will be.
We saw a miracle in its forming and I testify to that as irreplaceable and sacred.
We never forget where we come from
Streets of Fire & always down for the cause!

I'm 24 and have always felt like I was born in wrong generation. I love EVERYTHING about the 80s, so simple, no cell phones, nice cars, badass music, seemed like a good time. What I would do to be reborn in the 70s to experience the 80s lol
Yep! You missed a REALLY GREAT time in history.
Sport was pure & wild back then also.

@@KittyKittyBangBang249 The bronx in the 80s these would get shot up often
you can't smoke no more in clubs
I was a teen when this was released and breaking was trending. Our high school would open the gym during lunch to give us a safe place to dance. The stands were usually full of kids watching individual and teams challenge each other. Funny how back then beefs were usually resolved on the dance floor, unlike today.
You really don't have no idea! I don't say that to be mean, it's just the facts. I mean through a weekend I would have probably eaten like probably 4 tabs (XTC), 2 each night n when the sun come up I would eat blotter acid most of the time n liquid sometimes usually in a McCormack food coloring bottle n taste like Everclear or Tiquila. You definitely want it cut already if you careless. Might not ever come back. For real I can't explain to you how it was n I miss it kinda. The music especially n the memories I have some I don't know how or why but...... Anyway look up New Beat as a genre of music originally started in Belgium n not Germany but the music CROSSED OVER the invisible devide that even though not official New Beat from Belgium it was n is hard core mostly n it was still good but it was different from Belgium but still very good. That is when the tabs blew up like crazy 4 ways for 10 dollars. 4 people could get fucked up for real n not just a little bit either for $2.50 cents n roll balls all night long with your eyeballs in the back of your head. Those that understand understand. Boy a whole lot of people missed the fuck out on that shit. Just saying

I'm 52 now, this is still as good now as it was in the 80s
Hi
Same I'm 45 .....
55 this year and still blasting the good stuff
I’m 53 now, growing in the 80’s great music. Love the Double Dutch Bus is one of my favorites. My older brother taught me how to robot and the backward kick worm. I can still do the robot but not the kick worm. Taught myself how to pop n lock (being double jointed help). Learned how to pop my hips to the sides lift and right.
I’m 57 and cannot express how much Millennials and Gen-Z missed musically in the 70s and 80s. It’s a shame they learn about this music because of the madness of sampling by today’s “artists”.
uh 80s was already sampling
@@ttllymxico Uuuh, I was there. The first rap HIT (not first rap song) by the Sugar Hill Gang in 1979 used Chic’s “Good Times” as its music. Only a few rappers sampled. Now, most rappers and some pop acts sample pop music from the 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s. Hell, even this new Asian pop singer gets his entire beat from Rene’ and Angela (early 80s). It’s a compliment…I just hope they properly credit the writers/owners of the original music.
You're giving yourselves too much credit. Today's music is vastly superior, and it is accessible by everyone.

Yep. Do kids still go to roller skating rinks? My nephews and nieces never talk about doing things like that
@@billsimms2511 I don't think so. My town used to have two rinks, but both have been closed for decades. Plus, parents today would never drop their kids off anywhere by themselves. The internet has made people afraid of the world. I'm always hearing about some nosey neighbor calling the police because some kids were playing unsupervised in their own front yard or police arresting the parent because their 12 year old walked home from school alone. The 80's were awesome for a lot of reason. It must suck to be a kid these days. I know being an adult isn't a lot of fun.

Bet you were bitching about it when your generations old people told you your breaking shit was nonsense and that the 1950s were the real deal.

Looooooool
You are giving them too much credit.
Before lockdowns, I was 41. Chick dancing like a gymnastics star. Ppl usually would shove tips in my belt.
I ask one of the shy djs if he wanted to afterparty at my hot tub. He said, "How about you come out to my hot tub". So I did. Super impressed with all his computer tech. The next morning I asked how old he was. Guessing 35 but I was wrong he was 25. I often get mistaken for younger. But he freaked out. I didn't hear back from him. If the whole club thinks I'm younger since getting into clubs. Like what a wimp he ghosted me. I wanted to pick his mind on all computerized day job things. Nope. I barely was into the after party but their set was exceptional.
This club was La Cage, Jeffrey Dahmers old stalking grounds.
I could have lied about my age, but I'm a 1978 Vintage model. I'm proud to be from 78.
The East Coast was acrobatic breakdancing and the LA scene was Poppin & Lockin. Back in the 80s, I was too young to understand the difference between the two, but as an adult looking back on those years, I now recognize the contribution that both coasts have made for the culture.
This is the true vibe of breakdance. Gives me chills
RIGHT ...such an amazing time ..!!
Can we travel back in time

This song was all the rage back in the '80s. This was released my freshman year of high school. If you were around during this time, we had it really good!
Class of the 😊❤❤❤❤ 93 my Era 🎉🎉🎉🎉
I’m a 55 year old female and I listen to this song regularly on Spotify. I remember in high school in the 80’s guys were break dancing at parties and it was mesmerizing.
I'm 55 too and remember. 😎
Entertainment was fire back in the day
where at, . . .I was in LA CA.
@@enriquecortes1948 no internet back then. Movie took place in the Bronx where it started. But L.A. was popin back then too sound was a little different but great i was in Boston mass back then.
@@richlong4119 yes, that's what I meant, . . .WHERE WERE YOU THEN, I seen the movie and know it's from new york, break dancing, (back then), was called New York Style, in Los Angeles that is. Good times. Take Care bro.
This is my EARLIEST MEMORY OF MUSIC. Got Off the subway with my Grandma and I saw all these boys with a boom box and a cardboard platform they was dancing on. I was like 5 or 6. We were going shopping. I remember she brought me a Star Wars figure that day. I still remember the smell of the Woolworths. Hotdogs and hot pretzels!
This is a heartwarming memory!
Woolworths ❤️ Fond memories.
Omggggg!!!! Dude... I've lived out the same experience on Jamaica Ave near where the now out business "Mays" used to be!!! Me, my lil sister, my Mom and my Aunt Ivy was getting some pizza from the lil hole in the wall joint next door!!!!😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
Omg! Woolworth 's. My grandmother would buy a bag of hot salted peanuts that sat under a heated lamp. Sometimes we'd have lunch there. It was on Jamaica Ave. in New York. I was so little. I wanna go back too.😔
Life was so much simpler then. Everyone pretty much got along!
Oh my God this shit brings tears to my eyes. This is my generation and i miss it so much.
😓😢😥😫🙄 I miss these days
You got that right- as long as we had music we had fun and we all got along
Me and you💯
Well Said Tone!
Thank God! We Grew Up When We Did!
Started 1980 as a ten year old & was fortunate to be a teen during the 80’s. No cell phones…no home computers. Just mtv & lots of great music & dance. People got along & you didn’t have to worry about being woke or politically correct. No unisex bathrooms or people identifying themselves by using pronouns. You were a guy or a girl & if you were gay, no problem. The music of that time brought all kinds of people together.
Came here, after the Olympics, to be reminded of how Breakin' is supposed to be done.
FR😂
same here lol
bgirl baby love....actually created her down rock footwork....very original.....1984
We were gold medalists in 1985 and didnt know it and didnt have that opportunity.
I was 14 when I heard this song... i lost my mind! Changed my life and how I hear music ❤
Most played record at dance clubs and skating rinks in the mid 80s. A masterpiece of the freestyle genre. ♥ ♥
Yes! This song always brings me back to the skating rink!
I’m 50 years old & this is my #1 song to change my mood whenever I need it
I’m right there with ya
Right 👍

I'm 42 and break to this song all the time for my 16 month old daughter. She loves it more than life itself! #4 Train represent!
I'm 38 and always wished I could break.
I’m 43, if I try 2 of those dances, my body will pay me back 100x with aches and pains that’ll have me in the bed for days.
good on you
I watched TH-cam videos to learn. I should really push to learn. Lol
TBH, i can only do about 20 second intervals for 1 or two songs before I'm spent. :P
I love the 80s 🎉❤ I dated a break dancer he was super talented 🎉
from the roxy battle to the olympics......keep on breakin....
I am jamming on this song in 2024 :)
Jammin on it right now 🎉🎉❤
My Era Class of 93 😊
47 now I remember when we was kids and we would find the biggest piece of cardboard and lay it out in the front yard and just get down, man it was so much fun🤪🤪🤪
I'm the same age and yeah, those were the days...went home when the streets lights turned on
Or linoleum. 😂👍🏼
@@Smileysue74 nope.. we stayed out until after dark. 😎
@@ricoaztec1 Yeah, when I was 10-11, there wasn't much to do after dark but once I was older I would still come home when it got dark but then I would sneak back out so I could hang out with the older crowd
In the 80s to be the coolest you were either a break dancer, karate master or rapper/beatboxer. Ladies only needed big hair n lipstick
Im so glad i was born in 75. I grew up throigh the good eras of rap and hip hop. I got to experience all of this in my neighborhood
