Weren’t you the one complaining about Thais copying stuff from black people and that they should do their own thing? ???? That looks suspiciously like a failed attempt at ‘twerking’ to me.

Thais invented it not Africans

Ridiculous… most of what I saw on your video is a rip of Jamaican culture. If you can show me a video of any Thai show with that style of vocal and dancing forty years or more ago, your reply might have some credibility.

Oh an expert on Jamaican culture in the bum wiggling department, what next moaning about Thais braiding their hair because blacks claim they started it, when Greeks, Romans and Sumerians did it thousand of years ago? ???? Bum wiggling, like the internet, the lightbulb and the post box is not black in origin.

Not just the dance style, but the vocal style. It’s a TOTAL rip of Jamaican culture. Hurts you doesn’t it? To know that you’ve been admiring Jamaican culture ????

Find me any reference to Thai people doing that style of dance and vocal before it came into the mainstream. Bear in mind by the time it came into the mainstream for most, it was already being done locally. 
For example; rap music actually came from ‘toasting’; again from Jamaica. That is what you see in your video. Thais having a go at it. You really didn’t have a clue ????

Though it does raise a very interesting point. Will now knowing the origins of a thing he loves, affect proton’s enjoyment of it?

Funny how the mind works, isn’t it?

I grew up understanding that we borrow(some steal) things from each other. So it doesn’t affect me in any way. 

Anyway, he’s likely already paid for the tickets ☺️ Som naam Na!

You can still practice with your eyes closed. If you become good at it, she’ll look forward to your visits…. if only to get more view on Tiktok and Insta

Now let’s see your’s that the Thais were doing it before then ????

Nothing to do with twerking, nobody did it when I went to ska and blues in the 80's they would probably have been laughed at, no evidence at all.

That’s the vocal style element covered. 
Twerking… Jamaican dance halls. Show me the Thai equivalent that precedes it. 
Your claim of Thais inventing it is looking increasingly lame. 
Twerk, Bounce etc All those ‘dance’ moves are from Jamaican dance halls.

It was always about dancing, you were claiming Thais appropriated, then posted about vocals, nothing to do with it. As you are the one claiming Jamaicans came up with this 40 years ago it's up to you to put up the proof. Have you ever actually been in a Jamaican dance hall or blues?

I said the whole thing. That’s dancing and vocal style. 
I can post many videos on how it SHOULD be done, but you’d only try to deflect as usual.

If you want to look at ‘traditional’ origins, take a look at Mapouka dance. Nothing to do with Thailand at all. Nothing wrong with that. Everyone can borrow and try to make it their own.

That's not 40 years old is it, nobody was twerking in ska dances and reggae, old school does not mean 70's 80's it's later than that. Twerking had nothing to do with toasting. Cannot be traced in popular music before 1993 the bounce scene in New Orleans, that is when twerking was named and became popular, copied in the Caribbean. Of course Africans will claim they had been doing it for centuries!

Not really the same as twerking and only in the Ivory coast in the 90's although people claim earlier. The whole cultural appropriation thing is utter nonsense. My original point was why copy others styles of music when your own are better and have more cultural resonance.
