The State of Dance

So in America, more like, in Iowa since that's where I live; I don't see any new dancing or hear of anything. I was going to join a hip hop dance club but it's just so lame and played out. Nobody gives a fuck about pop locking because its so limited. You can pop lock to certain songs but it's just so old school. It's all been done before. I'm tired of seeing retards with the same played out dance moves trying to free style with lame pop locking. In other words, it's old I a hate it because it's old.

Breakdance is played out the most. I've seen videos of great dancers but it all seems old. Some played out music styles from 10 years ago with all the same moves. Don't get me started on all the fucked up crip walk, krump, and other "pretend to beat the shit out of my imaginary friend" dances. It's kinda funny that dancing used to be a huge thing. All over the world people would dance. Ball rooms all over the planet rocked with some lame 60's music and a super simple dance move that everyone could do. Ball room dancing was big back then.

Not that the past was any good. It sucks now, and I sure as hell don't want to bring back the old swing dancing and shit. Fuck that. In France they had a dance called Tecktonik which I probably shouldn't say because it's copyrighted up the ying yang and thus it's now dead. Well relatively dead compared to how it used to be. It's 2 times more popular then breakdance according to google trends, last I checked. Though it's now called electro danse or milky way. The popularity is still higher then breakdance. For a good reason too, it's new, the music is unique and in my opinion, pretty fucking awesome. Of course there are similar dances which have high popularity as well: Jumpstyle and the Melbourne Shuffle. All of which is popular in their country of origin. Unfortunately most of it is kinda dead outside of their respective home turf though videos of people dancing them can be found all over the world.

I think the US should bring some much needed revision to our 30 year old dance system. God knows our music would need to change a bit instead of doing what we were doing 30 years ago. I fear any style of electro house would be fucked by being turned into super poppy fun music but then again we really don't have shit here in the US outside of rock and rap. It's pretty much all we do here. We're pretty damn good at it thankfully, even if you think our top 100 shit is boring at least a good deal of the songs require some talent.

But this all might just be wishful thinking. Dance and make a fool out of myself? Why do that when there's so much free porn on the interbutts?
