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.

2009 West Coast fad dance. The root step is a backward samba basic step done at half speed - with miami dade jook styling. While Jerkin has many original moves, its foot work could be compared to a very basic version of NYC Get Lite (Lite Feet) mixed with Miami Dade style Jukin, wiggin, boppin & stickin. As the dance is evolving, new capoeira/ breaking ground moves are being added to the dance vocabulary.
NYC Get Lite dancers (Brooklyn hipsters) have responded with a new style called "gettin nerdy."
Other Jerkin definitions compare Jerkin to Jukin, but should be aware there are three main styles of Jukin: CHicago footworkin juke, Memphis gangsta walkin Juke, and Miami Dade Juke.
