B-boying is an urban name for breakdancing. People that study breakdancing from all aspects and generally live the Hiphop culture prefer to call breakdancing B-boying, simply because they fought breakdancing became to commercial and people that could do one move would call themselves b-boys or breakers. This is perticaly annoying to people that have focused all their lives on hiphop and then some guys think their bangin or cool because they can do a simple move. This is why most b-boys refer to breakdancing as B-boying.
NOTE: Street Dancers are not b-boys. Street dancing is stupid POP like dance with a street name to make it more appealing to the YOUTHS AND URBANS. Movies like you got served are absolutely fake although it does have some elements of Breakdancing, in the real world it would be b-boying not things you see Backstreet boys do.

If someone asks
Do you want to breakdance ? They are most likely not to much into hiphop itself and do not study its backgrounds lifestyle etc. DOESNT MEAN he is bad at b-boying. It could also be he just started and doesnt know the slang yet.
You wana go B-boying ? Someone that has been studying the 4 elements of hiphop and has most likely got a b-boy name for example B-boy Flash, B-boy Flex or B-boy Blaze.

In contrast to popular belief, the TRUE definition of a b-boy is not simply just a male breakdancer. The main difference between a breakdancer and a b-boy is that a breakdancer is one who uses the hip-hop art form known as breakdancing to get chicks and/or to show off to his friends that do not know shit about breakdancing or perhaps anything about hip-hop in general; in contrast, a b-boy is one who expresses himself through breakbeats (beats that b-boys can break to) using various combinations or sets of breakdance moves such as:
-toprock
-uprock
-downrock (e.g. 6 step)
-freezes (e.g. single hand baby-freeze)
-power (e.g. flares)
-airtracks (e.g. UFO)
A true b-boy will add his own style to these various sets. These sets are innovated by b-boys through rigorous dedication and practice during "session" or breakdance practice. Any set that is “taken” or “copied” from one b-boy by watching another b-boy/b-girl is called a “biter”.
A real b-boy will break anytime, anywhere, and any day, when challenged or "called out" by another dancer or b-boy/b-girl in a "battle". In many cases, a b-boy will encounter a dancer or another "b-boy/b-girl" that is "straight up whack" or simply disrespectful, in which case a b-boy will wish to "serve his ass". But in many cases, a battle between a b-boy and another dancer or b-boy, will have both sides showin' much peace, love, respect and even props.
Simply put, a b-boy is one who encompasses the essence of hip-hop through “the dance” or "b-boying". Thus, most b-boys think that krumpers are just plain whack.
