This was a period which saw music
forms crossing over, something exemplified by metal
band Anthrax who borrowed a b-boy look when they
wore adidas tracksuits and sneakers on the cover
of their ‘I’m The Man’ single in 1987.
"beach-boy look" ?
plus loin dans le texte, on parle des Beastie Boys, serait-ce plutôt ça ?
"The Beastie Boys’ ‘Check Your Head’ album was
especially important, the music acting as a soundtrack
and the cover being an ideal visual reference for the era."
merci

break dancing boy
First few hits here:
http://www.google.fr/search?hl=fr&q="b-boy"&meta=
And, while the AF may not have approved "breakdancing" in French, it is used:
http://www.google.fr/search?hl=fr&q="le breakdancing"&meta=
So: "un look breakdance/breakdancing"?
