Vampjerk

Origins

Writing for The Face, music critic Kieran Press-Reynolds labelled tracks such as Xaviersobased's "Patchmade" (2022), Phreshboyswag's "Inspire" (2023), and Nettspend's "Shine N Peace" (2023) as "jerk anthems". Artists such as Yhapojj, ksuuvi, Bloody!, idkcap, percosits, Tenkay, Nettspend and Feardorian further contributed to the movement. "Underground heroes" like Duwap Kaine later drew influence from the style, releasing the album DuwapSoBased in 2023. Artists Islurwhenitalk and Subiibabii were credited with pioneering the "vampjerk" style, which drew from the subgenre of hip-hop music sigilkore.
