I fuckin hate the #Olympics but I could not resist watching the #breakin competition. On the one hand, it really sucks to watch this sanitized version of this incredible art form. The music is bland, and because I'm in Canada, I have to tolerate the cringeworthy commentary by the CBC sportscasters
On the other hand, it's mindblowing to see this culture born out of the misery of the South Bronx in the 70's, and created by poor Puerto Ricans and Blacks, become global and defy all the haters that called it a fad. I mean Dominika Banevic, Lithuanian (Lithuania!!??? FFS!) breaker is fuckin sick!
