hip-hop culture
Breakdancing and MCing
Hip-hop culture is the broader artistic and social movement that emerged from Black and Latino communities in New York City in the 1970s, encompassing rap music, DJing, breakdancing, and graffiti art.
The term distinguishes the complete cultural phenomenon from hip-hop as a musical genre alone: Hip-hop culture shaped fashion, language, and attitudes worldwide.
The culture emphasizes creativity, self-expression, and community, with traditions like freestyle battles and cyphers.
