Toy Style and Concept
Bop It's overall aesthetic draws mainly from hip-hop and club culture. The game uses a breakbeat to keep the players on a rhythm, and the instructions are almost like dance commands.

Famous quotes containing the words toy, style and/or concept:
“Everything from toy guns that spark
To flesh-colored Christs that glow in the dark

“To translate, one must have a style of his own, for otherwise the translation will have no rhythm or nuance, which come from the process of artistically thinking through and molding the sentences; they cannot be reconstituted by piecemeal imitation. The problem of translation is to retreat to a simpler tenor of one’s own style and creatively adjust this to one’s author.”
—Paul Goodman (1911–1972)
“The new concept of the child as equal and the new integration of children into adult life has helped bring about a gradual but certain erosion of these boundaries that once separated the world of children from the word of adults, boundaries that allowed adults to treat children differently than they treated other adults because they understood that children are different.”
—Marie Winn (20th century)
