Ghost Riding, or 'Ghost Ride the Whip,' is a physical stunt involving a driver exiting a moving vehicle while it is still in gear, often dancing alongside or on top of it to music. While the practice has roots in the 1990s Bay Area 'hyphy' culture, it gained massive mainstream recognition in 2006 following the release of E-40's hit single 'Tell Me When To Go.' The trend became a viral sensation on early video-sharing platforms like MySpace and YouTube, blending car culture with hip-hop dance. Today, the meme is used to represent reckless confidence, chaotic energy, or instances where a situation is moving forward without anyone actually at the controls.
