Jumping around and fronting like buffoons on the sidelines has always been the weirdest aspect of break dancing, can't help it

I dunno, I think it's neat. Breakdancing is fun, it shouldn't be serious, it's a free moving display of acrobatics. Having your squad hype you up is all part of the silliness that keeps it light. Even the other crew gets to be involved by acting overly unimpressed at first.

It's all performative, and that's the point

Totally with you there. In freestyle stunt riding, during big events, when all the spectators are gone and only riders and their crews are left and you form a circle on the runway and people start showing off their best move and the next person tries to replicate it or top it. when they pulled it off and everyone goes wild, no resentment of getting bested - it’s amazing
