Jerkin' by christian







Jerkin' started in the 1960's from the the jerk(dance) made by Don Julian. The jerk dance is similar to the monkey(1900's dance).

After that jerkin' was in. But from time to time it got old and nobody liked it anymore. That happened until the New Boyz made a song called,"You're a Jerk." That song made everybody go in a jerkin' craze.

After a couple months jerkin' was old and so was the song. Until a song by Audio Push made everyone remember how fun it was. That soon got really old and people still didn't have the need to jerk.

But out of nowhere a group called the Power Rangers(sooner named just The Rangers). The Rangers got sponsored by Vlados when they first started a couple years ago. After that everyone started jerkin again.

Everywhere you go you can see jerk crews. Now to see whose the better jerk crews, they have jerk battles. If one jerk cre wins the battle they get named better than the other crew. A way to show there victory is on a socail website like Twitter. Also jerk crews get more publicity by posting their videos on youtube.

So it's weird how a popular dance can stick around for that many years and still be alive.
