Swagger isn't a new term at all it's just that it's become a more popular term recently in music and such.

Swagger??? as in the way you walk?
Swagger is not a new term, it has been used for a very long time... and I am quite sure it was said in England before America.

Wildcat, you fail
Swagger dates all the way back to Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Nights Dream"
'PUCK
What hempen homespuns have we swaggering here,
So near the cradle of the fairy queen?
What, a play toward! I'll be an auditor;
An actor too perhaps, if I see cause.
QUINCE
Speak, Pyramus.—Thisby, stand forth.
PYRAMUS
'Thisby, the flowers of odious savours sweet,'
QUINCE
Odours, odours. "

Swagger isn't American! It's a normal word
made up by Shakespeare, he made many a fine word.
This was during the time when Indians ruled America
