They Reminisce

They Reminisce has been an exciting step for The Bboy Federation as we explored the origins of Hip Hop with the audience through dance, music and style. This year we expand on the story about the Salt City Rockers. Following one crew’s journey through a 20-year period; examining Hip Hop’s success and exploitation in the 80’s and the underground resurgence of the 90’s.

After its inception in the 1970’s, Hip Hop culture exploded into mainstream culture during the 1980’s. Movies, music and fashion all begin to take notice of the new street culture from the Bronx. However, by the 1990’s the media had largely abandoned Hip Hop, with the exception of its music. This caused the culture to split; Parts of it stayed mainstream while others went underground. Leaving Hip Hop divided and unsure about which direction it would take.

“Come experience Hip Hop’s golden era,” Say’s Joshua Perkins, Co-Founder and CEO “through the dancing, music, fashion and history that defined each decade.”
