    I suspect the same people in charge of bestowing us with the name SyFy are to be blamed for Hyphy.

    Sounds like hip hop in general have nothing to do with this, and a throw off subculture of hip hop does.

    I suspect Death Proof was left out because there is actually a sense of danger when she does it. And I'm not ashamed to admit that I loved that movie.
    Sure, Tarantino made it look like it was gonna be different movie, but I found it a pleasant surprise.

    Oh lord, more uncool people trying to scientifically prove that youth culture will kill you. Video games make you a murderer, hip hop makes you car surf, rock and roll is the devil, etc. etc. Why can't we all just go back to watching Lawrence Whelk, listening to big band music and reading - wait, no reading - that causes civil disobedience.

    Car Surfing is a 'hip-hop' thing?

    I thought it just fell into the 'generic stupid stunt that adolescents instinctively want to try'.

    Cause I did it before and I sure as hell wasn't listening to any of that stuff.

    I'm sure Hyphy has played a big part in this, but they played a bigger part in a far worse tragedy... "The Outsider"

    I remember when Doctors were blaming Metal for head and neck injuries caused by over enthusiastic head thrashing. They always seemed to forget the over enthusiastic beer drinking and head butting in the coliseum parking lot.

    This is more provocative, misleading reporting, io9. First of all, "hyphy" is an incredibly small, regional cultural movement, that overlaps with, but is not in and of itself, hip-hop culture. The J of N article does not blame hip-hop for anything other than the etymology of the word "hyphy". And it blames GTA, Jackass, and Youtube for the increase in trauma incidents, not "hyphy" and certainly not hip-hop. So just to clarify for grime, it's not the neuroscientists who are being reductive and culturally insensitive, it's just the summary on this site that does that.

    @David Alvaro: The article also says it's more common in areas with warm weather.

    It's another case of the headline being a click magnet.

    @David Alvaro: Quote: "During the years in which no new edition of Grand Theft Auto was released and Jackass was not aired, there was a coincident drop in car-surfing fatalities."

    Hyphy is mentioned in passing only.

    This is just proof of that little-documented phenomenon known as "social Darwinism".

    hm. I always thought it was the pretentiousness of hip hop that lead to brain injuries.

    On the other hand, maybe the world might be a slightly better place if we allowed physics and natural selection do it's work.

    *embarrassed to even be in the same area as the Hyphy movement*

    This is why I maintain a shield of rock music around me at all times to neutralize any debilitating effects of car surfing.
