What is Hip Hop? More Than Just Music and Dance
Hip hop is a culture, a movement born on the streets of the Bronx, New York, in the 1970s. It’s not just a music genre or a style of dance; it's a form of expression, a voice for those who felt they had none. The four original pillars of this culture are:
DJing: The art of mixing and manipulating vinyl records to create new rhythms.
MCing (Rapping): The act of rhythmically speaking or chanting over a musical beat.
Graffiti: Visual expression through art on city walls.
Breaking (B-boying/B-girling): The athletic and acrobatic dance we all know.
Over time, other elements like beatboxing and knowledge (the wisdom of hip hop's history and values) have joined to enrich this vibrant culture.

The culture of urban dance is not just technique—it is identity, resistance, and pure expression. From the cyphers in the Bronx to global stages, hip hop and freestyle dancers have transformed movement into language. At Monroe Store, every garment is designed to honor that energy.
