Black Punk Matters + 3 Black Punk Bands I Love
When most people think rock and metal music, or the alternative and punk look, people usually think of white people and popular bands like Iron Maiden or Green Day. The whole goth or emo look is associated just with white people, and nonwhite people being goth were alienated or ridiculed in their own community. Then in 2017, the internet had a big boom and goth POC started to be recognized more. Particularly black people who were able to connect with other alternative black people and be able to show who they are. Soon alternative black models and influencers were able to sprout and find a group of people that understand them. Still, there is alienation for being alternative and black, especially when it comes to alternative music.
