I Can Jerk.

Yesterday, I finally learned how to jerk. If you don't know what that is, I'll post a video for you to experience what it is. It's a kind of dance and my friend Jordan taught me how to do it. After days of practice, I magically got it. So, naturally I had to brag to the whole world about it. I know you're thinking, "how on earth is this relevant?" Well, I'm going to blow your mind.

It's interesting how an entire style and type of music can revolve around one kind of dance. Jerking is done to a specific kind of music with a specific kind of beat. There's also an entire style that surrounds the whole jerking movement. I went to a jerking party once, and everyone was wearing bright colored skinny jeans, geeky glasses, bright colored shoes and backpacks. Music plays a huge part in fashion. When the whole jerking movement began, I started wearing brightly colored skinny jeans. I sported a pair of yellow ones and a pair of purple ones. People thought I was crazy for wearing them, but they were hot during the jerking movement.

I find it interesting that music has a strong influence on the way we dress. I've noticed that people who listen to "indie" music wear more eclectic clothing. The often stand out with quirky pieces. People who listen to hip hop generally wear flat billed hats and baggy pants. The list goes on. We want to imitate the artists we listen to. An genre is more than a type of music. It introduces a type of style and new dances.

What are some other type of dances or type of styles have come from music?

Also, take note to how people dress in the video.
