That's what I thought - figure I've pretty much missed this 3rd wave altogether, but hey, there's a lot of music happened and happening, and we can't keep up with it all . . .
TRUST ME, there were PLENTY of people with absolutely no sense of rhythm around during the 70s and 80s revival too, and a lot of cheap and nasty two-tone style clothing made to cash in on it - and while I'm warmly nostalgic about that period, I saw PLENTY of atrocities committed against dance and style: not ever Nutty Boy could do that Madness walk, but it was as often hilarious as it was embarrassing to see them try.
Really good dancers - any style - are sadly no less rare now than they were then - hot wasted idiots will always move like spastics on the dance floor.
