  • @walkitout321  vernon burch; get up

  • @charlyblues You can even witness the clothes that the NYC kids are rocking they did not borrow too much, if any, of the west coast style of wearing threads such as baggy pants, they borrowed some elements of west coast dancing, but added to it on another level. Look at the kids here on this video, some are rocking sweat suits but most are rocking regular wear but rocking it by personalizing it.

  • @charlyblues In the west coast, it's boogaloo but in New York the kids changed it up to electroboogie, yes, they honored what they admired going on in California, but the 'electro' was added to it to reflect a faster more electric style, feel me? Electroboogie is a faster, more dynamic version of west coast style of dancing, you can see this for youself and it wasn't just Normski or Mr. Freeze, there were thousands of NYC kids rocking this kind of dance. Notice the original music too.

  • @Khultan

    aight , ok thanks yo.

    But isnt it electrIC boogie? and what about boogaloo?

  • @charlyblues It's not 'poppin', it's New York  electroboogie, reflect the fast paced environment of The Naked City.

  • @complex2034  LOL

  • These early 80s NYC kids back then rock ir way harder than the kids of today or in the past decade. And it's funny to see the dancers of today wearing zoot suits and that corny looking shit and their slow motion movements molasses arthritis. I'm not with that. Never was. Just mho.

  • I FUKING LOVE THE 80´S

  • Glad they ended that hand holding shit
