My take was that she pushed breakdancing into the human consciousness significantly more than anyone in history ever has

Interesting thought exercise, but a WILD take. Notoriet shouldn’t be considered the same as actual accomplishment. Otherwise, John Wayne Gacy should be considered the best clown of all time.

Phil Kim/Phil Wizard (the gold medalist) is a pretty accomplished breaker/bboy.

In 1971, Rep. Tom Moore, Jr. of Waco, Texas sponsored a resolution commending Albert de Salvo for his unselfish service to “his county, his state and his community.” That resolution read, in part:

This compassionate gentleman’s dedication and devotion to his work has enabled the weak and the lonely throughout the nation to achieve and maintain a new degree of concern for their future. He has been officially recognized by the state of Massachusetts for his noted activities and unconventional techniques involving population control and applied psychology.

Albert DeSalvo had another claim to fame.

And that is a WILD comparison!
