B-boying or breaking, often called "breakdancing", is a style of street dance that originated as a part of hip-hop culture among African American and Latino youths in New York City during the early 1970s. Fast to gain popularity in the media, the dance style also gained popularity worldwide especially in South Korea, France, Russia, Japan, and Brazil. While extremely diverse in the amount of variation available in the dance, b-boying consists of four primary elements: toprock, downrock, power moves, and freezes. B-boying is typically danced to hip-hop and especially breakbeats, although modern trends allow for much wider varieties of music along certain ranges of tempo and beat patterns.
A practitioner of this dance is called a b-boy, b-girl, or breaker. Although the term "breakdance" is frequently used to refer to the dance, "b-boying" and "breaking" are the original terms. These terms are preferred by the majority of the art form’s pioneers and most notable practitioners.
The terminology used to refer to b-boying changed after promotion by the mainstream media. Although widespread, the term "breakdancing" is looked down upon by those immersed in hip-hop culture. Purists consider "breakdancing" an ignorant term invented by the media that connotes exploitation of the art and is used to sensationalize breaking. The term "breakdancing" is also problematic because it has become a diluted umbrella term that incorrectly includes popping, locking, and electric boogaloo. Popping, locking, and electric boogaloo are not styles of "breakdance". They are funk styles that were developed separately from breaking in California. The dance itself is properly called "breaking" according to rappers such as KRS-One, Talib Kweli, Mos Def, and Darryl McDaniels of Run-DMC.

Rap city 76 (cadi)lacs and soul claps
Abstract, kangols and baseball hats
R.T.D. l.p's and subway maps
Gang tats, kicking fresh freestyle raps
Hoodied up looking so what and being in packs
Star wars corner stores getting yours world tours
One arm hugs, new songs making you bug
Walkmans, that rapper you can't stand
Not being able to rhyme without using your hands
The running man soul jams 88 to 93
Rakim M.C. Lyte Stetsasonic Heavy D
Wack M.C's?, Fresh M.C.'s!
Windmills 90's pop lock rock freeze!
Stacking cheese, 40's and trees
t-shirts khackis, doing things the G way
like Graffiti on the freeway
Altadena east bay, moving your neck
Where your hands in the air is a sign of respect
Street intellect derilect knowledge in the rhyme
Greeting with a pound nod
Throwing up a sign
The perfect set, when D.J.'s get wreck
The feeling when the music in the club make you sweat
Mix tapes acting like your hard when you ain't
Sound and smell of an aerosol can when you paint
CHORUS:
I love, being a B-Boy!
B-Boy pose while you rappin' along
Everybody in the club really feeling the song
It started in New York with some tables and mics
Now every country on the planet got somebody who write
And that's tight like fistfights
Really going thru it paying dues doing music
Tagging black books, hardcore looks
Circles so the dancers get busy
Culture felt and dealt from suburbs to inner cities
Ugly and pretty people get with me group photos
Slang rhyming to yourself just to maintain
With your booming system rocking fresh gear
Records in pairs B-Girls backpacks
Kinda limping when you walk cuz it's been like that
Riding the rails staring at walls by train tracks
Croquasacks saggin rocking with a live band
Ripping next level music with the mic in my hand
Where my friends is fam you hear the music groove to it
Being first generation hip-hop music
Culture pride rocking hats to the side plushed out rides
All beat diggers worldwide
Vibe to the drum loops, soul reggae and roots
Forming groups, idolizing scrap and scoop
Knowing the "B"in B-Boy stands for break
I'm still using the term yo it sound so great
CHORUS:
