These three young men belong to ‘Hip-Hop’. This movement developed during the seventies in the USA, especially in the New York Bronx. It includes rap-songs, graffiti paintings as well as breakdance. For young boys and girls this movement is becoming more and more a kind of expression. They see it as a way to achieve something. Here they can express their longing for admiration, their desires and their disappointments. For too many young people in the USA - especially those living in slums such as the New York Bronx – life seems to be without sense. “Only living people are able to cry. People murder people. A world without sense.” This is their reaction sung in a rap-song.
