Long before social media was dominated by likes, followers, and algorithms, a cultural revolution was quietly unfolding. In basements, schoolyards, and city streets, Black teenagers were creating something far bigger than themselves—dance styles that would become the blueprint for a digital generation. These were more than just moves; they were declarations of identity, community, and power. But as the world danced to their beat, these young creators rarely saw the spotlight. Their influence spread far and wide, yet their names were often lost in the shuffle.

In the mid-2000s, a cultural phenomenon emerged that would forever change the landscape of social media: black teenagers began creating and sharing dance styles that quickly went viral. From Chicken Noodle Soup in Harlem to the "Crank That" dance crazes kicked off by Soulja Boy down South, to the kids in southern California “Jerkin”, these dance trends served as a form of self-expression and cultural identity and changed global pop culture forever.

As we trace the evolution of these dance movements, we explore the pivotal role of platforms like YouTube and MySpace, where young creators found new avenues to share their art with the world, often without proper recognition or compensation. The documentary uncovers the stories behind the rise of these artists, whose creativity laid the groundwork for future online trends like TikTok challenges. Through candid interviews, archival footage, and expert commentary, the film examines the intersection of dance, technology, and race, shedding light on how Black youth continue to influence pop culture while grappling with systemic challenges and underappreciation in the entertainment industry.
