I feel like Australia is trying to gaslight us into believing they know what break dancing is.

MCE The Jaw Droppers 2024 #4: Australian Breakdancer

It’s always fitting that breakdancing makes 20 year intervals and have one moment that kills it.

80s with Breaking 2 Electric Boogaloo

Aughts with Dirty Vegas “Days Go By”

And this past August when it got its biggest comeback since its heyday in the Olympics, all it took was one person to kill it.

Raygun we feel for thee.

You're laughing, but in a few weeks some freshman at Macquarie university is going to walk into their intro to communications class and see Raygun is their professor, and YOUR LAUGHING?!?! Good, you should be. This shit is hilarious.

Australia's b girl Raygun may have lied on her resume, but she got a trip to Paris, free gear, access to the Olympic chocolate muffins, and is forever an Olympian, PhD brain outsmarted 😭

Gentle reminder in the wake of “break dancing” becoming a meme at the Olympics that the community actually prefers to have the dance style be referred to as breaking / b-boying / b-girling, and the term breakdancing is considered a pejorative that was applied by (highly white and condescending) media outlets. Some even have a name for people who use the term break dancing: “toys,” people who speak about the dance but know absolutely nothing about it.

If you wanna drag Raygun by all means go for it, but breaking is literally such a cool and incredibly athletic dance. I encourage you to use this opportunity to spread awareness about what the dance style actually wants to be called rather than what the media calls it, and also to check out some genuinely killer performances! If you wanna see some wild powerheads in action and why so many love watching breaking, try checking out a couple of these videos:

Breaking deserves WAY more respect than it gets, and I hope that in the future we’ll see more competitors get massive recognition at the Olympics for their performances actually being good 🤞🏻
