Extreme Apologizing: Japanese Style
*quality apologies, but I expected a lot more finger chopping and less breakdancing.

The rap is solid. The breakdancing is better.

Crazy Martial Arts "Tricking" Competition
Meh, it's like breakdancing without the style. The moves are impressive, but there's no pieces of flair!
Unreal Cheerleader Acrobatics
I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of these guys were also b-boys. In fact, that would actually be awesome to see this level of acrobatics and control added to a breakdance team routine.

The heyllll you talkin' bout, can't flow together? The entire basis of "power moves" in breakdancing is being able to sustain rotational momentum while nearly seamlessly chaining them together. I would be of the opinion that is one form of flow.
Not trying to be a dick, but if you're really saying that nothing new has been invented in the past, I think you have to regain some perspective, and you're also missing a lot of nuance. 15 years ago people doing straight windmills would be somewhat impressive. It wasn't much more than five years ago that air tracks (0:38) became common. People were not doing that shit in the 90s. And certainly not doing it on just one elbow, while grabbing their other leg and sipping a cold Coke all at the same time.
People do moves, and then other people figure out ways to add a little something on top of those moves, and so on and so forth. I think there is definitely an artistic aspect to it, in that there's an exploration there of the limits of the human body, and dancers have taken things much further over time.
I think to some extent breakdancing has been played out, when it kind of resurged in the 2000s. It's also frequently taken out of its larger context of hip hop dance, where it's just one aspect of many different styles.
Anyway, yeah, I guess I'm kind of defensive about breakdancing.

I'm sure there is other dancing that has a more limited vocabulary, but breakdancing feels particularly limited in that many moves can't flow together...
Crazy Impressive Breakdancing Kids
I totally agree with everything in your statement. It's also worth noting that there is more to dancing than stringing together a bunch of moves.
However, arts really do stagnate due to lack of innovation. I've been watching breakdancing for years, and yeah, it's possible to be impressed with what they are doing athletically while simultaneously being unimpressed with what they are doing artistically.
I'm sure there is other dancing that has a more limited vocabulary, but breakdancing feels particularly limited in that many moves can't flow together, and most start from a standing position and end on the floor. Each move takes several seconds and is often very physically demanding. All of this puts extra emphasis on the move itself rather than a series of moves over a period of time that you see with most other dance. And it's why after seeing it done so many times, I wish that someone would get a little more creative and try and do something new.
Yeah 1:38, awesome, seen it many times.
Every English poet uses the same 26 letters?
I think we stretched this far enough. I suppose the point is there is there is more to dancing than the novelty of a move you haven't seen before. Break dancing isn't exactly alone in having a "vocabulary" of moves and I don't think its the most limited either.
Crazy Impressive Breakdancing Kids
If breakdancing is like speaking, then they *really* need to increase their vocabulary.
Wow. These are some *skillful kids!
Also, will someone please invent some new words? There are lots of impressive words on the internet, but not many I haven't seen over and over for the last 20 years.
Also, will someone invent some new spices? I mean, this food has lots of seasoning, but basically the same spices I've had over and over for the last 20 years. It's not like combining them in innovative ways offers any room for creativity.

Will someone please invent some new breakdancing moves? I mean, some of this stuff is really impressive, but I didn't see hardly anything that I haven't seen done before over (and over and over) the last 20 years.
