If you're French, under 20, and have a broadband Internet connection, you probably already know what to make of the spiked hair, skinny pants, and electric dance moves pulsing in cyberspace.

It started with a dance called Tecktonik - a mix of punk, techno, break and disco - born in clubs and spread by word-of-mouth between fans on video-sharing sites. But the youth movement it spawned is also a burgeoning business and a model for branding on the web.

Now a registered trademark - with 33 800 related videos on offer at
www.youtube.com - Tecktonik has gone beyond sharing music and moves to sell hairstyles, merchandise, and an ethos of tolerance to post-adolescents: it's a lifestyle brand.

Would you look at that, the French took lockin' and poppin' added a dash of stepping and some techno, made it white and called it their own!

Watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oblRnGLLMyk it's many of the same moves just not at a stupidly fast pace.

Honestly though anything that breaks the trend of "grinding" being hip is good to me. I find it sad that my generation, for the most part, only dances to shitty commercial rap.
