>>8141131"Real Yo-Yo" only consists of the dc YO-Throw Hardcore scene and the late 90's Toy-Yo scene. What is known by "Midwest Yo-Yo" is nothing but mindless playthings with questionable real Yo-Yo influence. When people try to argue that things like Tom Smothers are not real Yo-yo, while saying that Yomega is, I can't help not to cringe because they are just as fake Yo-Throwers as Tom Smothers (plus the pretentiousness).
Real Yo-Yo is ENERGETIC, POWERFUL and somewhat HATEFUL. Fake Yo-Yo is weak, self pity and a failed attempt to direct energy and emotion into Yo-Throwing. Some examples of REAL YO-THROW are Around the Corner, Rites of Spring, Skin the Cat (the only real Yo-Throw from the midwest scene) and The Throw Down. Some examples of FAKE YO-THROW are The Forward Pass, The Sleeper and Around the World.
YO-YO BELONGS TO HARDCORE THROWERS NOT TO RUBICK CUBERS, FIDGET SPINMASTERS, HACKY SACKERS OR ANY OTHER MINDLESS PLAYTHING FANBOIS
