I had just joined the military and was stationed on the west coast. I remember it but never partook in it. Club scene out there was lit though. Songs was cool

The early youtube ny get lite movement inspired other regions to make there own dance movements

literally saw the whole thing unravel as it happened

Thank god this shyt never officially pop in Chicago In 2010 nikkas was wearing Stall & Deans with the caps to match...

as if chicago didn't have juke aka footwork which is practically the same but 3 times the speed.

nah... it was just a coincidence...
nobody outside the eastcoast even acknowledged the "get lite" ish...
you would be better off saying the harlem shake inspired folks... because that actually penetrated other markets.

breh the get lite movement on youtube is what sparked the movements. Nikkas was watching ny youtube videos and did there own thing from there. All the while trhe south made it fun to dance again in hip hop. But lite feet youtube video sparked the jerk movement

you must be from NY....
My region was already doing their dances since before 2002...they just became more visible as youtube proliferated.
I imagine alot of regions were the same
NOBODY followed the "get lite" thing yall were doing...
I'm speaking for my region (cali) only...
NY was already on the way out from being hiphop tastemakers..
the south had more influence than you guys did
get lite never caught on at all...
jerkin was sparked by "turfin "and bootleg DVD where cats was dancing in traffic
