What makes twerking and those who do "idiots" in your eyes?

The point of that post is that people imitating a culture without context are people who can be ignored and disregarded. They will fade away in twenty years, and everyone, including themselves, will laugh at how crazy they were. I wasn't literally calling everyone who twerks idiots.

However, I do tend to be the sort of person who views those who do things like twerking as idiots. Not in the "I think you are stupid" sort of way, but more that I have a lingering/active dislike of any form of outgoing "club" culture/"dance" culture/expressing yourself. Activities regarded as fun because they are zany and showoffy rather than challenging or interesting.

I have many things that I could say, but I do not think I will say any of them. Thank you for explaining.
