Breh how old are you :mjlol:

Please believe twerking isn't something new. The same shyt y'all see on Twitter and IG I used to see broads doing at block parties and basement parties in NY.
I'm West Indian, I know all about how women shake their ass. :ufdup:

Body isolation in dance comes from Africa

Y'all think it's a coincidence that there's booty/hip dances across the diaspora huh :gladbron:
Wine twerk wuk up etc all have a source brehs :skip:

Go anywhere there's black people and you see twerking, but evidently this is something that started with social media :russ:

Congolese music swept the continent in the 90s and the dances were considered very provocative by some other nations. However you will find African dances like mapouka, baikoko, kongonya etc that focuses on the waist as well as ass. Religious influences drive them out of the mainstream but you still see a lot of them on youtube.

yes. Girls shaking ass is nothing new. Twerking is a recent trend though. Girls were NOT moving their ass like that regularly. That's just false.
You're wrong about this breh. I'll never forget that coming of age moment in 8th or 9th grade when school dances and house parties went from innocent two stepping to twerking in the same way that girls twerk today. I'm 31.

You mean you don't "call it" twerking.
It's still dancing based around ass shaking, perhaps more culturally acceptable, but essentially the same thing.

Some of them seem to think we were just watching Youtube one and decided to "steal their dances and pervert them" lol

This dumb tweet was all over my timeline for a few days:
