Jerk (music genre)

Jerk is a music subgenre blending hip-hop and internet rap that emerged in New York City during the early 2020s. It draws inspiration from the original 2000s wave of jerk rap and street dance culture. Notable artists associated with the scene include Xaviersobased, Phreshboyswag, Nettspend, Fakemink, Islurwhenitalk, Maxon Margiela, YT, EsDeeKid, Yhapojj and Yuke. The genre achieved particularly significant success in the United Kingdom, where it helped give rise to the UK Underground scene.
