Jumpstyle originated in the late 1990s as a dance style and subgenre of electronic music in Belgium and the Netherlands, characterized by its signature 'kick' movements and high BPM. In the mid-2000s, it gained massive internet fame through viral YouTube videos of dancers performing in public spaces. As a meme, Jumpstyle evolved to represent peak excitement, frantic energy, or a sudden shift in mood when a beat drops. It is frequently used in 'Me and the Boys' scenarios or paired with unrelated, high-tempo music to create a comedic contrast between the intense dancing and the context of the joke.
