Hip-hop is a cultural form, which was born in the streets of American slums. Generally speaking, it was born in Bronx, new york, USA.
Hip-hop first emerged among African-American and Hispanic youths in the Bronx, northern new york, and then developed and spread all over the world.
POPPING, also called vibration, belongs to hip hop. General POPPING includes shoulders, chest, arms, legs and so on. Sometimes waving (current) is also included in the scope of POPPIN by current dancers. Locking, also known as locking dance, mainly changes hands to lock, producing dazzling beauty and strength. Nowadays, POPPIN is not divided into old school and new school, but belongs to street dance.

Cultural origin
First of all, hiphop
1959, the new York city government decided to build a highway through the Bronx, an immigrant settlement. This huge project will bring long-term inconvenience and even chaos to the residents here, so some families with better economic conditions in the poor Bronx decided to move out.
1968, the new York city government once again decided to build a large-scale condominium on the northern edge of the Bronx, and other capable families also moved into this apartment. In less than ten years, the Bronx has become a poor and shabby slum, and its former prosperity has gradually been replaced by crime, drugs and unemployment.
From 65438 to 0973, Jamaican immigrant Kool Herc, who lived in the Bronx West Street, often held "music parties" at home. He often plays some jazz, r&; B. funk Compared with disco, which was popular in the United States at the same time, Huck's music was closer to the real life of slum people, and his party was getting bigger and bigger.
Finally, Herc decided to move the party outdoors, and created an original method of repeatedly playing wonderful clips on the same record with two phonographs, so as to keep the party atmosphere at a climax. Since then, DJ Kool Herc's party has become very famous in the Bronx.
Later, after the improvement and innovation of the master of flash hand, this technology innovated the techniques of disc rubbing and fast mixing, and added devices such as operating rods and even sliding converters, making DJ officially become a science. With the increasing complexity of DJ technology, many DJs have no time to communicate with the live audience, so MC responsible for active atmosphere is derived.
At a party, Kool Herc found several young people dancing in a special way. They always wait until the music break. After a series of dazzling acrobatic steps, they suddenly stopped at the end of the break. Kool Herc was surprised and called these young people bad boys, and later called them B-boys.
In June1973165438+1October 12, Bambaataa established a street dance troupe Zulu Nation based on its own juvenile gang organization. The group consists of six members, including a DJ and two small street dance groups.
Love Bug Starski, a Zulu member, invented the word "hiphop" and used it to name his party. Zulu people have created a new way of street dance, attracting a large number of followers for themselves and some subway graffiti lovers.
In the mid-1960s, Combread from Philadelphia wrote his name all over the streets of Philadelphia in order to attract people's attention, and this kind of "label" soon began to enter new york. Every day, fragmentary signatures appear on the streets and subways in new york. The subway shuttles through the city, and all kinds of signatures give them the greatest exposure. Gradually, all the signatures are moved to the subway.
In order to make themselves unique, some people choose to expand the signature area, and some people begin to add some decorative paintings such as lace and halo to their signatures, and develop a variety of fonts. At this time, the signature has been renamed as "writing", but more people still call it "graffiti".
After 1974, the creation of subway paintings blossomed, matured and the competition became increasingly fierce. More importantly, there are works covering the whole side of the subway. The subways running on more than 20 subway lines in new york have been painted beyond recognition.
1980 new york traffic management bureau has taken various measures to thoroughly rectify the phenomenon of "graffiti". On May 1989, new york Traffic Management Bureau announced that it had won the war against graffiti. Many graffiti artists look for other creative ways in Europe and even hold art exhibitions.
Second, sonic boom.
Popping originated in the early 1970s and took shape in the middle and late 1970s. It rose in different forms in San Francisco, Fresno, Oakland and other places in California on the west coast of the United States, and its origin and inventor are controversial.
The invention was inspired by different opinions, such as imitating the robot style, locking the rapid pause of the dance, and the clean and jerk dance, which was popular in the 1960s. The recognized systematic induction and popularization is the founding group electronic Bugalos led by Bugalos Sam.
The main feature is to express the rhythm of music by controlling the sudden relaxation and tightening of muscles in various parts of the body and the "vibration/explosion point" effect produced by the movement and walking of limbs, which is often combined with a large number of different styles and techniques such as Robot, current and Slide. Now there are also views that the concept of Popping today should include these styles and technologies closely related to Popping.
