.....what is this?
Half of the circuit today doesn't even know what the song theyre dancing to even means. Let alone know what traditional bhangra even is.
Why do you guys even do Bhangra? I'll tell you why. To party and get drunk. Yeah it's fun to dance and the adrenaline you get on stage and chillin with your boys and stuff but at the end of the day most of the circuit is in it to party. It's a "fad" just like being religious was a "fad" 10 years ago. What's the next fad guys? I know wayy too many people who suffer in school from bhangra and them they end up repeating a year in college. You think Bhangra is more important than an education and wasting your parents money? Get your priorities straight. If you guys actually respected bhangra and its roots you wouldnt cut your dhari. Being punjabi isn't a religion. It's a culture. Most of you are all Sikh before you are punjabi.
Im not attacking everyone on the circuit because I know a lot of people that are actually cool down to earth guys, Jaggi and Danny to name two on this thread. But a lot of you guys are interested in Bhangra for the wrong reasons. To fit in and be cool.
A lot of the guys on this circuit take advantage of innocent girls and that's whack. You really wanna respect bhangra? Learn about your values first.
Oh and last thing. Y'all really call empire a Bhangra team?
i think i've been to enough comps with empire present to know that they, for CERTAIN, do not fall into the group which you are talking about. they are the least rowdy, and the last team that i'd call a team that wants to "party and get drunk".
Second of all, who cares what reason people dance for? everyone has their own reason, and in the end, we are all promoting punjabi culture. i don't see what the issue is.
