Did you see the 2012-16 swag/jerking music era in your high-school or was that like a mostly California thing?

Just curious I remember it and see funny videos pop up on TikTok that remind me of it. I remember kids doing the dance battles but it was way more common in southern California but I’m curious if other states saw much of it.

    I was on the later side of that so it could’ve passed, but I don’t remember anything like that in high school.

    I graduated HS in 2008, and Soulja Boy Tell ‘Em came out the previous year.

    It was a thing here. At least listing to the music and stuff. I graduated in ‘14. It wasn’t a me and my group of friends thing. But it existed here in Alabama

    I was well out school by then but there’s no way I’d have missed something called “jerking music” if it was more than a regional craze.

    I was born in it. Molded by it. I don’t see the light until I was a man, and it was blinding.

    I went to high school in Texas around that time and it had a moment of popularity but I don’t recall it being particularly long-lasting

    Not sure what Jerking is, but Swag was huge in middle school.

    These were the exact years I was in high school and this wasn’t a thing where I lived. I grew up in the rural Midwest, though, so trends were always 5-10 years behind schedule.
