Jerkin' is basically two things: it's both a "dance" movement and "music genre". Originating in northern California in 2008, "jerkin'" has infected the minds of our youth, and is also a big reason why our youth is brainwashed, clueless and imbecilic, and this is coming from a teen. The people who jerk are the usual every day degenerates who we should look down upon, and simply omit. Their moronic creation of a genre is simply made from a computer, thus proving everyone in the world why jerkin' is a pointless fad and possibly the worst genre of "music" that has surfaced the earth. Jerkin' lyrics are basically something like this: "do it, jerk jerk, do it, jerk jerk" or "ima lick that pussy clean, while i jerk and eat an ice cream".

A style of dance that emerged in South Los Angeles as early as 2006, it has roots in krumping as well as other styles of urban street dance. In the early years it was often performed to hyphy music, a subgenre of crunk that originated in the Bay Area of Northern California. Participants usually improvise from a number of moves, such as the reject or the stanky leg.

The music and fashion associated with the dance can largely be attributed to the scene's earliest crew, Rej3ctz. The skinny jeans and bright, fitted shirts that they adopted have since become part of some mainstream hip-hop fashion trends.

Most jerk crews are in Los Angeles and other parts of California, and their names often reference pop culture. They battle it out on the streets and achieve notoriety through videos posted on Youtube.

This style of dance has also spread to other cities thanks largely to the commercial success of the New Boyz, the first jerk crew to emerge from what had largely been an underground LA-based scene.
