Jerkin

I'm sorry. This is just too much.

I know the kids like to dance, but couldn't they find a better name for it.

Really?

Do you think when hip-hop first emerged that it felt as manufactured as this shit does?

kids! lol..

amirite?

This is some original shit, right here.

how come i feel they're trying to sell this to me?

"im gonna put a video up and call myself the first female jerk"

....

"and now we got like millions of hits...."

So despite being told for 6 minutes what this Jerk thing is, I still dont get it.

Its like RUN DMC yeah, but with skinny jeans?

It's jerkin. You know?

It's a way of life.

i'm so into it i do it the moment i wake up in the morning

Judging it strictly on the 30 seconds I watched of that clip I'd say it's a mid-40s producer living out some sick fantasies left over from the 80s.

Don't worry, it's nothing. They're trying to make something out of nothing. They are just dancing. Maybe kids need to feel like they're wearing bright colors and skinny jeans for a reason?

anyway, funny video.

"you can be at church... peoples jerkin'."

"you can go to Germany right now and they're jerkin' on the streets"

lol @ "baggy daddies" lmao

thanks

I'm the jerkin' entrepreneur

Yes, otherwise they won't get paid. lol

i have 2 cousins in L.A. that are into this... They're in high school. but anyway... despite it being more catered to the youth, it does sound a lot more fluid and smoother than juke. so i can get behind this jerkin' stuff... but you won't catch me doin' it. the dancing also looks better than footwork. footwork just looks sloppy... and stupid!

Jookin is so much more interesting though. I'm pretty sure jerkin is just the recuperated bastardized version of jookin.

To be honest, I really hope this is the case. If jumpstyle dies/is dead, I will be the happiest man alive.

at least it doesn't look scary like krumping

holy shit that producer is just fucking dumb.

everything about it is.... just raw.

edit: can we get these kids to start daggering please?

about once every two years, when blue peter was still on the box for the kids... (was it ever for the kids?)

they predicted a 'dance craze'... apparently it was 'sweeping the nation'...

turned out to be rock'n'roll (fish'n'chips)

i honestly haven't had the heart to tell them that the 50's were then and that this is indeed now.

i did once enter an enviromental contest on blue peter.

my entry:

"lead free petrol takes some beating

now can i poke caron keating'

i didn't win.

rock'n'roll i guess.

(edit: the letter 'e')

no don't :(
