I am not a
hypocrite because I Am a hypocrite. I am (Not *was* because my Heart is still there) a Teenager of the 90’s. So, of course in 1993, I was twerking when DJ Jubilee
told us to on his song “Jubilee All”.
But then I had been Booty Bouncing, Shake My Butt, Backing My Thang Up, and Humping
With It for years. I still do. I can’t Drop
It Like It Hot, Warm or Cold anymore but I still shake it sometimes. Now I
said 1993, I was twerking. So why is there a “Twerking Craze” now? I will not
throw down the race card but I blame one thing is fuels, Pop Culture.
My mom called it
the Funky WahTuSi back when she was
younger in the 1960’s. I came home from school and she was teaching my younger
cousins and I swear her legs haven’t been right since (Yes, that is a joke). Now all of a sudden
there are all these “How To Twerk” video popping up. Everywhere you go random
people are asking “Is this how you twerk?”. Miley Cyrus, The Golden Sisters (I love them.
I truly do.), and other of these pop stars are Not doing anything New. What do
you think “Shake, Shake! Shake, Shake!
Shake your Booty”, looked like on the dance floor? Yet, somebody trendy in the
entertainment world does a dance and calls in a name people don’t recognize and
there is a media storm. Pop Culture Media, let me tell you and maybe you’ll get
the word out “Twerking it Not New”. The world listens to you.
I am Not sorry to
pop Pop Culture’s bubble about this new dance called twerking. Pop Culture knew
twerking was not new. It just didn’t want to let the masses know. The funny
part is the masses already knew. We just let Pop Culture look foolish. I bet Dollars
to Donut, everyone reading this blog is saying “D’uh” and agreeing with me.
Hopefully they are also telling the few out here asking “What is Twerking” the
same things I am saying in this blog. If you are reading this and you did not
know that, now you do. Now go tell a friend.
Oh and hat's off to the Microsoft dictionaries that don't recognize "twerk" as a word. Now, I’m off to
swing my upside down teardrop shape tail to some 90’s Southern Bass Music &
Hip Hop. Yeah a lot of it is riddle with misogyny and sex but “Tootsie Roll” & “Get It Ready, Ready” never get old. They
get me going. I told y’all, I’m not a hypocrite because I Am a Hypocrite..
