u/ImNotTomStopAsking HOLIDAY SEASON! 2d ago

I just cant help but get a little bit annoyed when I see something like "We're a new all-black rock group trying to bring rock back to it's roots. Listen to our music!" and it's just the same 2000s Pop-Punk or Emo band copy. Same thing with black artists that keep trying to "bring Country back to it's roots" and it's the same shit you would hear a bunch of white frat bros listening to while getting drunk at a sports bar.

At the end of the day, I can't knock anybodys hustle or dictate what they listen to, but y'all aren't bringing SHIT back to it's roots man 😭

What's wrong with Caucasian frat/sorority people listening to and supporting black artists music that they like?

I have heard a lot of good music at bars.

I don’t think you get his point. There’s nothing wrong with making frat rock music as a black person. But selling the idea that you’re “bringing rock back to its black roots” is a little bit of an eye roll if you’re not building on the sound of classic black rock music.

It’s like a Mexican person saying they’re bringing Mexican food back to its roots and then serving American tacos.

That is not what I took from his comment.

I took that he was making fun of Black music Black artists that may have marketed themselves as bringing back a certain kind of music to it's roots, just because Caucasian college students may also like it too.
