Twerking, as a meme format, evolved from a cultural dance phenomenon into a versatile internet shorthand for celebration, distraction, or sheer absurdity. While the dance itself has deep roots in New Orleans bounce music culture, its transition into meme history was cemented by viral moments ranging from Miley Cyrus's 2013 VMA performance to animated characters like Omni-Man or various video game emotes. In the world of internet humor, the twerking meme is often used to signify a 'victory dance' after a minor win or to provide a comedic, unexpected reaction to a serious situation. It relies on the rhythmic, high-energy nature of the movement to convey joy, cheekiness, or chaotic energy across social media platforms.
