For #blackhistorymonthuk I want to highlight the lack of diversity in this alternative space.

Why is listening to rock/metal/punk or dressing alternative a “white people” thing?

Do we know the history of our own scene and those who paved the way?
Over the month of October I’ll have an intense upload schedule.

Youtube: Sunday.
Each week I’ll be uploading video essays related to this topic. “Is Rock a “white people thing?” “Punk: the black punks who paved the way” etc etc.

If you have anything you’d like to see, lmk! +
Tik Tok: Monday & Friday.
Monday: new music Monday highlighting astonishing black artists in our scene that you need to be listening to.

Fridays: condensed mini-episodes of my YouTube videos.
I’m very excited to delve into all of this once again.

I hope it doesn’t seem performative. This is a topic I highlight routinely but to put it bluntly, some people will only pay attention right now. I might as well promote something useful while I have their attention.
I know a few months down the line if I uploaded content like this less people would pay attention, which is sad and another issue we need to highlight.
