Notice when someone pops they pop when the music makes a "clap". In hip hop you just dance to the song. If its a slow song, you just move slow and at a steadily speed. If its fast you move fast and use more moves. They are very similiar but thats the difference that i get out of it. Popping is to the beat of the song.

Popping is part of break dance. The style called Pop and lock is when you pop your body in a very stiff staccotto motion, and then you lock in a position as if you actually got stuck. This is all hip-hop. But if you are referring to the stuff you see on MTV, then yes it looks different because that is just street jazz. HIp-hop has lost it's flavour in my opinion.

Popping is like doing the robot and includes gliding. Locking is like a spastic version of the funky chicken. In this video, the guys in the black shirts are locking, and the guys in the white vests are popping. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oblRnGLLMyk Krumping, this is pretty new school. It's not clearly defined. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YXY-PCMzi2w Then you have dances that blend into other genres like House. Or Step (Step as in "Stomp the Yard", not "River Dance"). And there are others. But to answer the question, "hip hop" is just a word people say on TV, just like how "breakdancing" isn't actually the name of the dance. Oh, and one more thing. If you're watch music videos, a lot of the choreographers have ballet and jazz backgrounds, just so you know. Hip hop is a culture, not a dance.
