It was one of the earliest organic internet hip-hop movements. This shyt was scorching hot across the country for a good 6 month period from summer 09-2010. The dance is from California but had kids in Florida going crazy

I was in a jerkin group We uploaded videos on YouTube of us dancing after school. You can find hella videos from that time period of people in A&F/Hollister with skinny jeans, Silly bands & Nike SBs on jerking

Same, looking back like wow what were we thinking haha. I used to come home practice in my living room and shyt lol

I stayed with my grand mother in Cali that summer Jerkin blew up. I still remember going to Magic Mountain and The Mall and literally every young person there having colorful skinny jeans and Vans

And then there was me in my baggy Girbauds and South Pole Polos looking like the country bumpkin Louisiana nikka I am

I also remember YG started out as a playful jerkin rapper. He switched to being a thug nikka after jerkin got played out tho.....

[The Up Right Man]

Jerkin might have changed my life in hindsight. I discovered it the summer of 09 and after seeing the "You're a Jerk" and Audio Push's "Teach Me How to Jerk" videos I knew I finally found my shyt. I started practicing the dances and switched from baggy clothes to skinny jeans afterwards.

Problem was I was in Michigan where everyone was wack and when I went back to school people knew the song, some people tried to do the reject but I was the only person jerkin until the next school year when there were some freshmen into it. But by then I was off it.
