Actual ballet: Flowing graceful movement, subtlety, variation in tempo.

Hiplet: Repetitive rhythmic jungle music with jerky exaggerated movements. There is a technical talent required in what they're doing, but it doesn't resemble ballet at all. It's just hiphop on your tiptoes with ballet shoes.

I'm reading "Birth of Tragedy" by Nietzsche right now, and he talks about music and art as playing the central role in the 'soul' of a people. You can take a black person from Africa, separate them from Africa by several hundred years and several generations, teach them what is a quintessentially white European form of dance and in the end they still start doing the African tribal form of dance. I don't even mean that as a jab at black people, it's just amazing how consistent it is. Rhythmic music and tribal dancing is somehow ingrained into them permanently.

Yea the same way my dog who has never been in the wild nor his parents for generations kicks up the grass to cover up his shit when hes's done. This same practice can be applied to what you are talking about or many other sociological and behavioral factors. But the left is very anti science and reason.
