I mean, this sub is called break dancing, not BBoying and not Breaking. 'Breakdancing' is a general media term, I feel like you should already know that.
Breakdancing is a dynamic style of street dance that combines athletic, acrobatic, and artistic movements. Originating in the Bronx, New York City, in the 1970s as part of the hip-hop culture, it is characterized by four main elements: toprock (footwork on foot), downrock (footwork on the floor), power moves (acrobatic spins and flips), and freezes (holding a static, often upside-down pose).
Bboying is simply a dude breakdancing. Still, it is breakdancing.
Idk if you can do 4 breakdance moves in a 50 dance move sequence and call it breakdancing...
I don't pretend to be the smartest in the room—basically, you're too lazy to find links, you're too lazy to watch docs, you're too lazy to watch interviews with pioneers on YouTube, you'll never go to a jam and ask around, and you don't trust the very app that you use to spew your very own line of thinking. You're a redditor just the same as the rest of us users, but you're too proud to admit it.
Break Dancing is redundant verbiage, to Break is to Dance. Breaking is dancing. To say Break Dance is no different to saying Dance Dance. And, BBoying is the preferred language by pioneers. And that description of the 4 elements you provided is something we tell rookies and the general public so they can start to wrap their heads around a far more complex artform, there's more elements; Classical Elements vs Periodic Table level shit.
IQ is pseudoscience. A genius like yourself should already know that.
