The terms "b-boy" (break-boy), "b-girl" (break-girl), and "breaker" are
the original terms used to describe the dancers. The original terms
arose to describe the dancers who performed to DJ Kool Herc's breakbeats. DJ Kool Herc is a Jamaican-American
DJ who is responsible for developing the foundational aspects of
hip-hop music. The obvious connection of the term "breaking" is to the
word "breakbeat",
but DJ Kool Herc has commented that the term "breaking" was slang at
the time for "getting excited", "acting energetically" or "causing a
disturbance".[9]
Most b-boying pioneers and practitioners prefer the terms "b-boy",
"b-girl", and/or "breaker" when referring to these dancers. For those
immersed in hip-hop culture, the term "breakdancer" may be used to
disparage those who learn the dance for personal gain rather than for
commitment to the culture.[2]:61 B-boy London of the New York City Breakers and filmmaker Michael Holman refer to these dancers as "breakers".[4] Frosty Freeze of the Rock Steady Crew says, "we were known as b-boys", and hip-hop pioneer Afrika Bambaataa says, "b-boys, [are] what you call break boys... or b-girls, what you call break girls."[4] In addition, co-founder of Rock Steady Crew Santiago "Jo Jo" Torres, Rock Steady Crew member Mr. Freeze, and hip-hop historian Fab 5 Freddy use the term "b-boy",[4] as do rappers Big Daddy Kane[10] and Tech N9ne.[11]
