Sep. 22, 2005
The streets are buzzing with high-energy music, teenagers are jumping, swinging their heads violently with their hands flailing as if they are trying to relieve themselves of a demonic twitch and speaking in loud, obnoxious jargon.

“Being hyphy is all about being crazy and out of control,” junior Niamh Parsley said.” What is hyphy? I’m hyphy.”

The bay getting hyphy is the same way the south of America gets crunk. Crunk means to be crazy and drunk, while hyphy joins hyper and fly. “For the last year, ‘Hyphy’ has been the (nightclub) song,” junior Nick Parker-Foster said. “That kind of music is going to get the Bay Area recognized nationwide.”
