I love these boys. I can't get enough of them. I think this video does two things. It reminds me of how cool I once was (though i could never dance). It also reminds me of how much self expression and creativity is still worth in our culture. New Boyz are a great reason to keep the fine arts in te public school, keep teaching kids about poetry and literature , fund music programs and a host of other things. I am impressed with them because as the story goes, they were able to realize that they had something special on their hands, and recorded this song while on punishment and amidst disapproval from their parents. Of course the parents are quite excited about their new fame.
Also, the new cultural phenomenon of Jerking is quite awesome. I don't think it is a cute dance, it looks quite crazy...however, that these youth have made this an important part of their existence is impressive to me. They are able to create, and that is always impressive. This is yet another example of how knowledge is produced in different forms and settings. They have added to the field of cultural expression through dance and have created something relatively phenomenalogical. Someone should write a dissertation on the jerking movement. Enjoy these videos on the phenomenon.
New Boyz- You're a Jerk
The best jerking, from BB the Jerk!
