Yeah. That's what they said way back then. People are doing crazy stuff now that seemed inhuman a decade ago. And people are coming up with completely different styles that wouldn't have been imagined (or at least imagined to look good) years ago.

By the way, blow-ups, power, and foundation aren't styles. They're elements of b-boying. People apply them and emphasize them INTO their own styles, but they aren't styles.

Crews:
Hip-hop: Cataclysm/Shell Shock
B-boy: L.O.S.T. (Legends of Street Technique)

Repping: Ourselves, and Hawaii.

but you can ID moves ahahah!
it'll take a while before anybody can create their own unique style, you have to get your body accustomed to all the movements in bboying.
that's why you see so many bboys that look alike, soo much for style...

but if i was to pick a type of style, my favorites would be freeze framing and that ready to rock/battle in your face thing that MZK has

contract killers - TN, TX, FL, GA

online battle record - 87-0-1 some call me the mike tyson of ob's

There are numerous top rocking and footwrok styles that i know of:

One of the most common styles of top rocking is the dead legged style, invented in the south bronx.
Other commonly known top rocking style is bronx rocking, there is a guide laying around with a few moves.

As for footwork styles, there are what i call 2 dimensional styles and rotational styles... You can watch about these styles in Storm's footwork fundamental.

There is also a bronx styles of footwork, wich separetes itself beacause of its creative use of bycicle pumps, scrambles and Footwork Spins. it has LOTS of spins.

Also, Mr wiggles when he was a b boy created a style called spider footwork. Where he tried to mix electric boogalo in footwork. The result was this spider footwork, where threading came from.

Another style well known is what they call "The crazy legs style", a footwork and toprock style named after, of course, Crazy legs.

There is also a style called "BackRock" or "FloorRocking", where B Boys try to do footwork on ther back and primaraly moving their hips and shoulders along with their feet.

Then there is the elbow rocking style, and the knee rocking style.

I could go on and on... There are a dozen of style out there... however, as far as powermoves and freezes i do not know
So that's pretty much all the styles i know... if you want a guide about any style in particular, PM me.

you all know what he meant in the first place so stop saying"everyone has their own style.." those I know of are flex, abstract, powerhead, freeze and stylehead.
