Beat Street- Popular Culture In Fiji.

The culture of youth is ever changing like fashion. It is also a reflection of the society transitions which they live. Fiji is no exception and recently the emergence of hip-hop inspired dance called "krumping" among the youth has become mainstream, even to the extent of corporate sponsored competitions, as featured in a Fiji TV article.


Fiji's older generation, like their international counterparts are undoubtedly perplexed with the gyrating and head turning movements and might not understand that this particular change in behavior of todays youth, is a global phenomenon influenced by the media. The questions that do arise, is whether these cultural shift is a good thing or is it a destructive element?
