Whois & Analysis for huntyourhat.com

Hip hop is a subculture and art movement developed by African-Americans from the South Bronx in New York City in the late 1970s.

While people unfamiliar with hip hop culture sometimes use the expression "hip hop" to refer exclusively to hip hop music, hip hop is characterized by anywhere from four to nine distinct elements or expressive realms, of which hip hop music is only one element.

The main four are MCing/rapping (orality), turntablism or DJing (aural/sound practice), b-boying/breakdancing (movement/dance), and graffiti art (visual).

Other elements often cited are hip hop culture and historical knowledge (intellectual/philosophical), beatboxing, street entrepreneurship, African-American language, and hip hop fashion, among others.

The cultural critic Greg Tate described the hip hop movement as "the only avant-garde still around, still delivering the shock of the new, and its got a shockable bourgeoisie, to boot." Even as the genre continues to develop globally in myriad styles, the four foundational elements provide coherence to hip hop culture.

The term is often used as if synonymous with the rhymed oral tradition known as rap music.

A knit cap, originally of wool (though now often of synthetic fibers) is designed to provide warmth in cold weather.

Typically, the knit cap is of simple, tapering constructions, though many variants exist.

Historically, the wool knit cap was an extremely common form of headgear for seamen, fishers, hunters and others spending their working day outdoors from the 18th century and forward, and is still commonly used for this purpose in Scandinavia and other cold regions of the world.

Being found all over the world where climate demands a warm hat, the knit cap can be found under a multitude of local names.

A baseball cap is a type of soft cap with a rounded crown and a stiff peak projecting in front.

The front of the cap typically contains designs or logos of sports teams (namely baseball teams, or names of relevant companies, when used as a commercial marketing technique).

The back of the cap may be "fitted" to the wearer's head size or it may have a plastic, Velcro, or elastic adjuster so that it can be quickly adjusted to fit different wearers.

The baseball cap is a part of the traditional baseball uniform worn by players, with the brim pointing forward to shield the eyes from the sun.

The cap is often seen in everyday casual wear.

A hat is a head covering which is worn for various reasons, including protection against the elements, ceremonial reasons such as university graduation, religious reasons, safety, or as a fashion accessory.

In the past, hats were an indicator of social status.

In the military, hats may denote nationality, branch of service, rank, and/or regiment.

Police typically wear distinctive hats such as peaked caps or brimmed hats, such as those worn by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.

Some hats have a protective function.

As examples, the hard hat protects construction workers' heads from injury by falling objects and a British police Custodian helmet protects the officer's head, a sun hat shades the face and shoulders from the sun, a cowboy hat protects against sun and rain and a Ushanka fur hat with fold-down earflaps keeps the head and ears warm.

Some hats are worn for ceremonial purposes, such as the mortarboard, which is worn (or carried) during university graduation ceremonies.

Some hats are worn by members of a certain profession, such as the Toque worn by chefs.

Some hats have religious functions, such as the mitres worn by Bishops and the turban worn by Sikhs.

Shorts are a garment worn by both men and women over their pelvic area, circling the waist and splitting to cover the upper part of the legs, sometimes extending down to the knees but not covering the entire length of the leg.

They are called "shorts" because they are a shortened version of trousers, which cover the entire leg.

Shorts are typically worn in warm weather or in an environment where comfort and air flow are more important than the protection of the legs.
