in ethnically vibrant areas were plentiful. This together with the shadows of some war hanging over the nation lead to the uprise of the beatniks, individuals who now didn't have to do much anything but sulk around all day in their easily affordable, alternative apartments among the immigrants. This lethal mix of Irish guilt and the undisputable coolness of the beatniks lead to a common activity

among the beatniks known as beatdig, involving a beatnik mellowing out on the streets, dictating who got ''it'', it being a personality trait favourable by the beatnik. As the story goes, one of the Irishmen, being accustomed to beetroot and potato, on the sight of porkjumped back in shock, proceeding to shun the one eating it. Upon witnessing this, a beatnik is said to have said ''that hop was

hip, jiggityjew'' and later reenacted this move involving a backwards jump with head lowered to shoulder level, leaning slightly forward and shaking the index finger (later evolving into fingersnapping) among the other beatniks, creating a new popular dance dubbed the Hip Hop Scibidydiddlydoo, the last part later being dropped out during the 60's, not because it sounded bad but

because the drug-fueled hippies had trouble remembering the whole name. This dance eventually faded into obscurity like Michael Jackson's skin during the 90's and the grunge boom but it has recently began to regain popularity among the straight edge beatniks countering the modern beatnik culture, sometimes referred to as emo, as they feel these individuals have misundeerstood the beatnik

philosophy and are now soiling its name. This dance is more than just a dance, it holds tremendous value in both sociopsychology and culture alike. When you see a young individual engaging in this dance, feel the pain of their struggle, find inspiration in it, Hip Hop, a people's search for their roots.

Super Story...... So is that how hip hop started?

Definitely.. Sure. The funny thing is that rap has made its way onto the gaza strip now.. But it's still so new to them that none of them know how to dance to it. So they just sit there being very still listening to people rapping about genocide and missiles.

You failed to mention the croatian big band swing influence. I suspect you left it out because youve obviously have a 'beef' with croatians and/or big band swing. Racist and genreist

Well, I did get involved in a dispute with the horn section of the Brian Setzer Orchestra when I saw them live the Saturday before yesterday but the real reason I left it out is because overall the 70's and 80's were characterized by deep depression, making it fairly obvious that the that the further popularisation of the Hip Hop even as far away as in Croatia took its toll on the beatniks,
