 In fairness, you can blame that on the people who pushed this on black people.

It's actually quite a bit of a downgrade, too.  Think about it.  Before all this hippety-hoppity yo-yo-nigga gangsta shit, they had jazz and swing-dancing. 
 @Dave55811 @Tiny "T" Kratchitty - Crutch Operator @SapientPearwood @Remi @Lovin', touchin', squeezin' all the caucasoids🍟... so they changed 20th century degeneracy with 21st century degeneracy. 
 At least jazz was more interesting to listen to.  I've seen a clip or two of swing-dancing and that's some impressive shit.  But supposedly one complaint was that they were loud.....and, er, come to think of it, being loud goes into that whole "moon-crickets" thing, which I understand today is a problem.

I guess being loud is a flaw in black culture.  But if it were just that, instead of gang warfare, drive-by shootings, and looting retailers, it couldn't be that bad, could it? 🤔
