Break dancing existed way before Beat Street and Breakin' came out, but when something exposed a niche like that to the masses, it's going to explode. I'm certain more people remember TFATF registering the thought of a Supra being a mythical dragon than did SCC or Turbo.
Both magazines provided content to those already in, the movie gave a glimpse to those who may have otherwise never known or noticed sport compacts.
