Ah, do you remember a time when white people in America had their own culture? Now it's just wholesale stolen from black culture. Didn't even bother scratching out the serial or nothing.
Yes, but before it was done with some level of cognitive dissonance. Certainly industry heads watched what black communities were making, stole it, and repackaged it for white audiences. Now, it's stolen directly from audiences without even bothering to repackage it.

As an 80s kid, who still somewhat talks 80s, yeah I can see this. 😂

Little dude, if something sounds too radical to be righteous, its probably bogus.

Damn and here I was trying to think of what counted as 80s talk and that made perfect sense to me.

It's probably only a matter of a decade or two that retirement homes are going to be full of fans of the Ramones, Iron Maiden, and Nirvana 😁

If something sounds too good to be true, it’s probably a lie

What are you referring to? I don't think anyone still alive today remembers a time before white people stole black culture.
