When I first saw tribal, I was fascinated and wanted to know where it came from. When I discovered it was a modern American mish-mash of influences and not actually "tribal" at all, I felt I had been conned, and refused to have anything to do with it for a while.
I've mellowed now! Many new dances were invented in the 20th century - foxtrot, modern jazz, hip hop, etc - so why not tribal? There are some fantastic tribal dancers out there. Many of them have stunning technique, too.
