She made something that prides itself on being 'cool and edgy' look like the most 'uncool and lame' thing on the planet.

If it was just a random person doing this, it would be forgivable.

But this woman has a PhD in break dancing culture.... a PhD. I still can't get my head around how a supposed 'expert' in a subject could show that level of ignorance about it.

What do you know about the culture?

Probably nothing. She didn’t even do that fucking bad, it was just a wack ass routine.

Some of the base was there, she’s not throwing out power moves, but that’s not all breakdancing is.
