#Dap or #pound?

 Is the pound officially out of date or slowly coming back into pop culture, or is it strictly the slapping of palms with a hanging finger grip known as a #dap the way to greet forever.  Long gone is the handshake unless we are meeting the pops or your boss man.

Im sad to see the overuse of the "fist bump." When you see your main boss or whatever you call your dude, why not just engage in a dap. The dap never did anything wrong, and can seemingly be used at anytime, unless of course, you're being brofessional. In any case, when did this "fist bumping" epidemic surface?

It is kind of like the era of boy bands, the late 90's I believe. When all those sketch balls devoured the charts, making hit after hit, you simply want to ask, "Why the fuck do people think they're dope?" Personally, I want to ask everyone the same question about bumping knuckles. I understand it's quick and convenient, but then again, those very reasons conflict with the reason of a #dap. A #dap creates a conversation in itself, with no words even being spoken. A #dap says:  "Hey player, whats good? You're good. Well, I'm Good. Then it's all goods."

I'm still trying to figure out what the hell a fist-bump says? But, greet as you will, ballerz.
