Twerk Miley! Twerk Miley! This is where they said it all started, at least for the mainstream westerner viewer. Clicking, scrolling, sharing those booties shaking till twerk becomes global and gets into the Oxford dictionary. From traditional African dances, to the Bounce music scene, hip-hop and now mainstream pop, who is appropriating what? For who? And what are the cultural, social and political consequences?
Whether it is seen as mere cultural appropriation, as a sign of women empowerment or objectification, as an obscene phenomenon corrupting our youth or rather a spiritual movement liberating our ass, twerk is a complex theoretical playground.
As Juicy J says “Keep twerking baby, might earn you a scholarship.”
