Michael Cole looked like he was attempting to twerk.
JBL looked like he was doing a bad version of the Dutty Wine.

It's been around for decades. White people are just late to the party and are doing everything in their power to kill the appeal of it. I'm one of the whitest dudes that's ever been white (hell I have English/Scottish/German ancestry, I'm lucky I'm not transparent), and it surprised the hell outta me that people thought twerking was somehow "new". Hell there were songs with the word in the title, as you said at least a decade ago. Well yes, but we try not to acknowledge the Ying Yang Twins, and their songs that are about masturbation or using amphetamines/meth. |

I like how everyone's claiming to be disgusted by it but at the same time trying to prove they knew about it before everyone else.

I got a soft spot for that song as I got a free lapadance in a strip club to it by some stripper who thought I was cute. |

The thing people are "disgusted by" (I'd say annoyed with) is something we've discussed in off topic recently, though I'm sure there are some folks tired of seeing the word brought up now that it's entered more people's lexicon and unfortunately having to see old white guys doing it... Most people did know about it. Twerking isn't new. It being called twerking isn't new. This isn't some silly "We knew about it before everyone else so we're better than you" thing. |

I hate that for some reason I see or hear the word twerking approximately 99 times a day lately. I go out of my way to avoid random fads/memes, but it's impossible. Work, work, work, work , bang n**** bang. Twerk, twerk, merge, swerve, dang, pick a lane. ...Big shoutout to anybody that gets this. Dat Chance. But seriously, if you believe them to be a variation of African dance, it's been around since before any of us were born. It's current "type" if you will has been around since the 90s in hip-hop culture and no one paid it any mind until something happened one day and damn near everyone decided to try it, whether you were good at it or not, whether you had an ass or not. Then Miley Cyrus single-handedly killed it in an non hip-hop context. So Vince is late again as usual. |

Twerking isn't all that new. It's been around for pretty much all year, if not more. I'm actually surprised some people are just figuring out what it is now. It's been around for decades. White people are just late to the party and are doing everything in their power to kill the appeal of it. Hopefully the brothers had a better name for it. |

Even though this has gone completely off track, things like this, that Korean guy who blew up on Youtube doing a dance that's been around for 50 years, happen all the time in pop culture. It's like sex, every generation thinks they invented it, but in reality, it's been around forever.

It's truly tragic that when twerking went mainstream, it was a stupid, rich gal with a tiny booty who done it. What erks me is that you got these goofs Miley and Bieber co-signing on hood behavior. Folks who never been in the hood acting like they are down since day 1. It jumped the shark when that Disney twerp twerked her way on stage. |

Did they do it on Smackdown or is this about the JBL & Cole Show bit?

We've seen his ass so many times, we actually might be too desensitized to it. |
