The Bronx is the northernmost of the five districts in new york, with the most park land. It used to be a notorious place, with poor public security and one of the highest crime rates in the United States. Arson often happened in the residential areas from 1970 to 1980 in Bronx, and it was not until 1968+0990 that the New York city government cracked down vigorously.

Since 2000, with the decline of crime rate in new york, the crime rate in the Bronx has also dropped to a multi-year low.

Even now, when it comes to the Bronx, everyone feels that the law and order is poor and unsafe.

In fact, police cars can be seen everywhere in the streets now, and there will be police cars patrolling the streets at night. Public security in most areas has been greatly improved, and it is safe to walk in the streets during the day.

Besides, the people who live here are not as scary and friendly as I believe. No matter by bus or subway, everyone keeps quiet and orderly.

Community differences

Hip-hop street culture

(1) hip-hop

The person who knows the meaning of these parties is called hip. People who want to know this culture can have a little fun, so I hope they hop(hop means to jump up and jump higher). These two words add up to a hip-hop: "I hope you will be higher if you understand the party."

Hip-hop includes rap, DJ, floor break dancing and graffiti.

/kloc-around 0/973, DJ Kool Herc, the father of hip-hop, a Jamaican DJ living in Bronx, new york, used two phonographs to switch music from left to right, keeping the music at the highest level without interruption, which was the pioneer prototype of Scrath DJ.

Clark kent & Cora Rock became the first MC in history.

At that time, the concepts of "B-Boy" and "B-Birl" created by DJ Kool Herc have also become important elements in hip-hop culture in the past 30 years. DJ Grandmixer D.ST, the first B-Boy next to Kool Herc, said, "At first, the dance was very simple. Touch your toes, then jump up and propose a leg.

But then a guy landed and turned 360 degrees. Everyone exclaimed, so everyone began to create new dance steps. "This hip-hop style is breaking, and this style has been popular until now. It has become an important hip-hop element and an essential branch style.

When you walk in the street, you can hear hip-hop music everywhere. What's more interesting is that the neighbors are playing loud stereos, which don't affect each other, or they see someone dancing.
