classical flamenco v rumba

Would anyone agree with my basic assessment that flamenco is heavier and grittier, but rumba is the prettier, more elegant cousin (or perhaps niece)?

Hell yeah

Rumba is like Emma Stone while flamenco is like Drita D'Avanzo ( I'm almost sure I'm making no sense)

Can you put it in a Dexter, Breaking Bad or Orange is the New Black context, Mark74?

I heard OINB is a hot new show, but I have to check it out..Breaking Bad was both flamenco and rumba at once

Mmm
Due to its family hierarchy and blood thirsty passion . More a game of thrones vibe ( even if there is a lack of flamenco dwarfs )
Rumba.. More weeds .. High times and Money making .:-)

I was fairly drunk and wanting to be provocative when I wrote the post. I was watching the season opener of Mobwives, listening to Kema and swilling Blue Moon, so its really just nonsense like most of my posts
