well, im a punk, im white, and im dating a black girl, cant label that girl, but i do know i love her dearly, she knows who i am and how i am and what i believe, shes even came to my bands practice, she said she likes us, probably being nice but to some degree she likes punk, maybe one day she might join the movement, either way i love her...idk exactly what im getting at here but i kinda wish there were more afropunk bands and just people, or just more bands and people in general :)
im black and i listened to punk since my early childhood. to me, punk is more than just "anarchy" or "anti-establishment," it a way of life. i have and will forever be part of the culture and what pisses me off the most is the fact that people would prefer that i should listen to rap and r&b or eat kfc, drink grape soda or follow any other black stereotype. you know what
even though i'm not punk, i think it is cool to see blacks in a way that will pose as out in left field with others. i'm a black woman and i'm a metal head rocker and as far as i'm concerned keep ROCKIN PUNKERS \m/ v^^v \m/
Punk is Punk and race shouldn't matter, I agree with those comments but being 35 and having been the "different" girl since Jr. High ( I still wear Docs and I have blue and purple hair and I have a CAREER lol) But I think this documentary is a good thing because 99.9% of my friends growing up were white males. So not only was I the only black person, i was the only girl. It's just nice to know that you're not the only one, sometimes when you're young it feels that way.
i'm from meriden, ct. no doubt, i can relate to be the only black person., still i was at home.. thank you new haven & ain't nobody seem to even notice. oh the scene back in the day.......
I don't see the whole point in "afro punk". Punk is punk, skin color doesn't matter, if you're black and a punk then you're a punk, no need to segregate it and call it "afro punk". This whole thing makes me cringe to be honest, and I'm black. I understand the whole "we're a minority" and "were unique" bit, but to label yourself an "Afro punk" instead of just "punk" is fucking stupid. Stop worrying about "being the selected few" and up the panx! Oi!
@Khold90 Exactly, that's why the creator of the entire documentary left it because, he's really just creating more segregation because he felt like he was a minority in punk because he was black.
@skulldrix How do you come to the conclusion that blacks acknowledge that they are punk and embrace their blackness while doing it causes segregation? if you want to talk about segregation then why do we have an Irish holiday why are their polish, Italian, Greek, Chinese cultural FESTIVALS andHOLIDAYS since America is multicultural isn't this separating people? why is it when black people come together for a common and cultural cause it's considered segregation? just wondering?
@Khold90 It would be beautiful to believe this, but it seems as long as there are discrimination against black people, gay people and other people, it's hard to live by the peaceful vision of us getting along. I once thought of punk as a sort of safe haven for those put-down, those who feel alone, those with a message or those who need a place to belong to. By this, I guess you can say that some punks truly miss the point when they cut other people out of it.
This is great -Its how Hip Hop was in the 70s-Kids just doing what the fuck they wanted, and not giving a fuck - its the generations after that that get fucked up by marketing, and being told who this music is for,and what they should listen to.Cherish this beautiful group of black free thinking people because you can bet the corparate sharks are watching,and as soon as they figure out how to sell this "scene" to the masses they'll rinse it out.
whats this..i didnt know there were even people in the world that felt the way i do.im black but i didnt think there were many black punk rockers in the world...i heard about the festival..i shud go this year..find a black girl that i find intrest in..... =) brown sugar hear i cumm...lol

@teaze10....1# no if you're the only person of your own kind there, then that's punk rock, it's called Confronting your Mortality, both races contributed to rock and roll buddy ,we done it all, punk rocks dead, now days it's just a bunch of recycled and reused idea's coming from the left (whites) Quote: From KURT Cobain "What i Like"
We need more afro punks. I'm honestly tired of loving a genre that champions racial and gender equality but is made up of 85% straight white males. Rap and hip hop aren't bad things, but I think there needs to be more blurring of the lines of what's considered "black" and "white" music. I think black and white people should be able to keep and be proud of their heritage and culture, but if we're ever going to be truly equal, we need to have more things culturally in common.
@invadercheeze i hate the fact that modern blacks say they like rock and roll but still they listen to hip hop not saying anything is wrong with it but i always felt that it was more to it then hip hop i would get criticized for listening to white music i mean dude its more to it than listening to somebody getting killed or you get purp by the pound and goose by the 5th or fuckin a bitch or getting money come on we get it black ppl dont do too much but im just saying come with a new topic
@invadercheeze and i couldnt agree with you more cheeze to be honest i always like punk rock but really wasnt in to it but a few years back i really started to get hip with it im not a poser i still rock girbaud air jordans and polo but deep down inside i know im punk i can be an ass and a jackass at that i can be a daredevil like bam margera and ryan dunn r.i.p. and all those other guys except shoving a toy car up my ass which i will pass on that but i do agree wit u on unity though
I don't give a fuck to the people colour man... Punk Rock is your mind, your soul, not the skin colour... Remember the Bad Brains? Is the first Afro-Punk band of the history, and, for me, one of the best punk bands of the history... "Anarchy and People Power, brothers 'N' Soul"
who cares black/ white blah blah can we just have a day where we(everybody) can just go listen to music and have fun with other people that we all can somewhat relate to damn..you say you want "change" but then we get it people want to complain about it at the the end of the day people are selfish
going on for decades..woodstock lollapalozza to now flipping.. warped tour just another music festival where people can have fun..either way if you dont like it dont go
Honestly...if you weren't born in or before the 80s..you cant REALLY understand this concept. Younger black kids(1989-1990+) still act like every cop wants to sic a dog on them like it was 1958..or everyone is hating on them for liking vans shoes and smashing pumpkins. The wars over kids...you never seen a burning cross..and being "punk" or "metal" or w.e isn't a SUBCULTURE anymore..its POP CULTURE...you can buy it at the mall...so stop acting like you have it any harder than white kids :(
@padatak I was born in the 80s, so I guess I qualify as one of the people that you describe in your statement, but, to be quite honest, teens that were born in the 90's face the same prejudice. You have to take into account the different types of neighborhoods these kids live in. Usually, in a majority African-American neighborhood, the primary choice of music genre is hip-hop/urban, so when there is one kid that says they love Marilyn Manson, they catch crap for it in increased volumes. Js...
@Peridium .. Famous rappers say it's OK to "act like a white boy" and it's OK to dress like one to. Like you said "the primary choice of genre is hip hip/urban"..and if hip hop/urban says it's OK...then it's gotta be OK lol.. I mean I don't know if you pay much attention to that side of things.. but BET plays skateboarding shows and rappers sponsor skate teams...all I'm saying is..things aren't as harsh/complicated as they "used" to be...for younger white...or black kids....ya ya peace love w/e
@padatak I'm pretty sure that it's very different for people in different environments. Essentially, just because BET says it's "it's ok" doesn't always mean everyone follows that. Unfortunately, people are very ignorant of things like that, regardless of what they see on television. Hell, I still see and experience some prejudice from other "rockers", but hey, what do I know? I'm just a high school teacher :)
@Peridium true...im from the south...the jena 6 took place not to far from my house...a friend of mine down the street had a cross burned in her yard when she first moved to my neighborhood. Maybe I'm just sick of hearing the sob stories when everything is pretty happy go lucky these days besides a few bullies at high school but hey boo who but hey...least you responded with a well thought out response besides blurting out how many cool bands you like and how there "should" be peace on earth :)
i cannot stand rap. unfortunately, being black and going to a majoritly black school, that makes me weird. I hate lil wayne and i am in love with musical stylings of little jimmy urine. it kind of helps me to know that my friends who listen to punk/metal dont think color matters. most people dont. i love mindless self indulgence, paramore, evanescence, my chemical romance (like 4 songs), and many other rock artists, but i still like a wide variety of music. and my mom hates me for liking rock.:)
@evilkittymewmew Well I mean I like ALL types of music. I don't like wayne either. You think it might just be the type of rap you listen too? You should give P.O.S. (Purexed), and Lupe Fiasco a listen. He even has a band called Japanese Cartoon (whose album was amazin + free).
And I beg to say Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge was a great album
Im black but i pretty much almost never realize majority of the time Im the only black girl in my scene haha......I guess im a lil white washed cause i fell right at home when i go to shows. well actually "mexican washed" cause i live in California and majority of the scene out here are hispanics haha....But in reality race shouldnt matter dealing with punk....Punk has always and always will be non discriminating, People are the ones who make things complicated and bring "race" and shit into it.
@teaze10 U'know what man I agree with there I've notice in the last two years of High School a lot black people have been wearing stuff that is associated with rock fans but alot of people have been doing that recently.Guys and Girls wearing AC/DC shirts and Nirvana shirts when their not even fans. And to answer your question about where Im from its Illinois. When Party Like A Rockstar came out I had a friend that started doing the metal sign and she's wasn't a metal fan.
@teaze10 Dude what hell are are talking about before party like a rockstar came out that was the Bad Brains and McRad and D.H. in the Kennedys
Party like a rockstar didn't do shit but make a lot of black people do the metal sign and stop saying "niggas" the use of that word by black people just demeans our culture
I'm mixed black and white and growing up I couldn't really pick a genre of music to listen to. I mostly am a grunge listener but I've come to realize that I enjoy a broad spectrum of music because it's OKAY to. It doesn't hurt to like Alice in chains and Erykah Badu. Or wu tang and Peter Gabriel. Or even Brazilian funk and j-pop.
not all black teens ( well people in general) are in R&B.
I remember a time I use to be a huge R&B fan, but then one day I just got sick of it. I got sick of hearing how a man did a woman wrong, how a man is sorry about doing said woman wrong. I hate listening to R&B nowadays, the only R&B singers I listen to is Lyfe Jennings and Chrisette Michele. and of course the Neo-Soul "trio" - India.Arie, Erykah Badu and Lauryn Hill. Other than that, you can have all of those other singers. ( rant over)
If the is Afro punk is because they do not feel accepted by the majority of punk people, Sometimes they do not say “black people are not welcome” but there are different ways to make feel black people like that.
Why is it called afro-punk? just because the fans and the band are black? 2me it should just be called punk. If it had straight African music melded w/ the rock then it would be afro-punk, but since it doesn't contain african music (except the roots of rock is African) it shld just labeled punk. .
I'm Indian and grew up Muslim. I identify with a lot of this, because I've always felt more at home at shows than anywhere else. At the same time, there is always this lingering feeling of alienation you feel everywhere you go when you're different from those around you.
Side note: the song at 0:29 is "Dance in Blood, Pretend it's Snow" by Ricky Fitts. They were from my home town and ruled. Also, this film features the only footage of Matt Davis (of Ten Grand) I've seen outside of live footage.
uhh in the bay area scene theres a few black kids nobody really stares or anything cause it isnt that weird the fucking bad brains were black so hahha
I can sort of relate to this.. but then again... I don't. Im 27yr old black male and what I see here are some niggas who listened to "party like a rockstar" way to many times I got into rock n roll at the age of about 19 if you can't remember wearing your straight legged levi's, rock out belt, wallet and chain, to the biggest hip hop gangsta rap club/concert in town and getting ripped on by all "da homies" because "you trippin" and you dressed like "dem white folks" Then you ain't on shit.
I'm a metalhead not a punker I'm Spanish not black but I think it would be awesome to see more black guys and gals at a metal show. METAL FOR EVERYONE
WHy doesn't BET put something like this on their network? SOmething positive, that isn't out to destroy black people? BUt no, that would defeat the entire purpose of the industry.
@windrix1 they don't want to, they want to keep black people in a box as if the only thing they are capable of is ignorant repetitive hip hop or raps. BET is looped; the same topics, same lame music, stereotypes day in and day out, so yea ur right about it defeating what the owners want, which is to ignore positivity
@windrix1 I'm not sure I understand what you mean by this statement. I agree more diversity on BET would be good, but honestly peoples taste determines the market not vice versa so if more Blacks like rap/hip-hop then that is what they will show. Also, I fail to see how PUNK is anymore positive than rap, r&b, metal or anyt other form of music. As a Black man I embrace all types of music, although I can only take country at certain times.
@windrix1 U'know man i used to wonder the same thing. BET is just like MTV its meant to appeal to the masses. They don't give a shit about people like us.
nice. i wanna see some black people with down ass spikes and mohawks. you would think punk is mostly a white thing but im mexican and growing up i always saw mexican punks and there was always a heavy mexican punk scene. its pretty big here in phoenix az. im happy to see theres still a punk scene.
i wish i could watch this whole thing on youtube. I pretty much relate to this. As a half-black/half-white whole-punk fan...i was always the token colored guy at get togethers and other black people look at you like a race traitor because you want to do your own thing and not conform to a genre of music that intellectually peaks at the description of a 9mm and a bag of crack. (exceptions of course i.e. the roots)..its good to know someone out there explored this. I'm very proud & feel less alone
this seems strange. I mean punkrock has always been against racism and separation of races; it's always about misunderstood kids of any race, having something in common, and having something to say, united as one voice, so why should there ever be a classification for black people in punk? the name PUNK itself should already mean: revolutionary youth of all different colors and races... last thing we need is a term to divide the punk movement which is all about unity, does anyone understand me?
@jpzeitlin yea ur right..but i don't think that's the intention here...i think they're merely tryin to bring awareness to the fact that and the stereotype amongst those that dont know anything about punk and assume, hip hop is for blacks and punk s for white people...i don't think it's a seperation because they're just showing wat u dont usually see...black poeple's involvement and contribution to the scene that's all. I think it's totally positive and educational...glad i came across it!!
Punk was actually a bit influenced by Reggae.You like letting everything go.Be who you want to be and not give a fuck.So yeah punk is for anyone who is smart enough not to care about what others make of them.xD
@crissangel586 i think he meant the attitude's of england's punk scene and jamaica's dub/reggae scene were like cousins because they were inspired for the same reasons...not musically, intellectually. Johnny Rotten spent a great deal of time in Jamaica with dub artist Big Youth and cited him as an influence on the sex Pistols first album.
I actually enjoy being the only black girl at punk shows hahaha. Its usually me and two other black guys, dats about it but its cool. Shouldnt matter cause the punk community should be united as one anyway.
this remind me of my favorite band bloc party <3 , i feel the same way the ppl in the doc, i just hate the fact i can't be myself around anyone (black or white) because am not following some stereotype. Rock on to anyone who's like this.
When Prince toured with Rick James back in 1981 they were called Funk/Punk, Prince hated the term because it was much more then that, still Prince was a First avenue alumni, the Minneapolis club were all the punk bands played.
Johnny Rotten (lead of the Sex Pistols) say in his autobiography that without the Sex Pistols we will never have Prince, so I guess Funk is the black Punk, ask Fishbone.
I think it's fantastic that many black people are involved in the punk rock scene. Punk, in itself, stands out. We're all different so we shouldn't be outcasting blacks just because of their skin color.
I know it may seem like I'm spammin the comments section (and I apologize), but the doc is on Google Vids... at least that's where I watched it about 2-3 months ago. You should still buy it though, good stuff. Show you friends.
I finally watched this documentary a few months, and just remember the trailer is up. I felt like some of the people were misguided on what it meant to be punk, and that seemed to take away from their sincerity (even if they were 110% for real), but the doc was great. That first song haunted me for weeks (Boot by Tamar-Kali I believe). I identified with several of the punks, and I sometimes wish i could just drop out and start a band. I only have 2 years left though, so I'll just wait :)
can i direct you all to Death's "Freaking Out"? black punk from 75..cant put up video responses, public access etc...nowt to do with the florida band...
just goes to show, even black people can be punk. i once asked a kid at school what he thought punk was. he said, and i quote, "a bunch of little white kids playing electric guitar."..........WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!
@QuoteMe93 I'm pretty sure they werent excepted by their family, or other blacks, or their home community, and they went to and were accepted by the punk scene.
That's a wonderful question and my answer is: They do it to fit in. I went to a 90% black high school and, just like typical teenagers, they did things to fit in and be accepted with their peers. Unfortunately a lot of those things were negative.
@JacobDeadman i mean like ALL white kids listen to metal so they ALL must like it, RIGHT??!? your "well thought out" question IS FUCKING STUPID, K!!!!
i'm a black person in this situation as well, always the only one.....but i never once thought that it was worth making a whole doc'' on it....ever.....interesting though.
Yeah I feel you on that one. I'm a black woman in a situation where all of my black friends(except one) hate rock or pop music(personally I like all types of music) cause they think its for white people only. I told them that they should broaden their horizons all they said is that I'm bougie(a black person who acts white). It's a shame because they're the ones who aren't gonna go no where in life but be a stereotype.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
looks pretty stupid to me. they should make a movie about lonely white going to hiphop shows too. how about a band consisting of black men? seems to me that they had to sort out shows that fitted into their idea. for example any bad brains show probably doesn't. and these shows took place since '77, and i believe in those times that was something to be surprised about. or hardcore is a different case.
Yeah I agree. I think you should listen to the music and just have fun with it. The 60's is a prime example. Jimi Hendrix The Chambers Brothers Sly & the Family Stone Ritchie Havens Otis Redding & many others didn't seem to have these hang ups and neither did the White Bands of that era. The Rolling Stones The Beatles The Yard Birds Santana Jefferson Airplane The Doors....etc... People need to stop segregating & just have fun...the world would be a much better place to live in then.
Shows in Los Angeles have a handful of black kids. I used go to shows in South LA, Watts and other traditionally black neighborhoods in LA and white people were always the minority if they came to those shows at all. Those shows had a predominant Latino crowd with a good number of black people.
in the six years ive lived in Chapel Hill, NC ive only met two other black kids who were into punk and one of them only lives there because he's in college... and i know of third, but she moved away....
well I would imagine as a White person you would need to see the movie to see where it has it's place. Afropunk isn't about "fuck White people" opr whatever (even though you guys still bought Ice Cube's albums when he said that) it's about being a minority within a minority. even people besides us can identify with that. everybody needs to see this movie once or twice before they die.
whether you're a Black golfer, a "wigger", whatever...you will get something out of it
Punk should be a culture for all of us! White, Black, Asian etc!! There isn't any difference about us! We all have got something to complain on Society :)
I'm kind of divided.. The black presence needs to be acknowledged, but fuck man, I live in Brooklyn by choice, I'm the only white kid on my block. I don't feel the need to assert my Europeanness. All my co-workers are black, and I go to their parties largely unfazed. Then again, there are ignorant whites and blacks... the main thing is to COME TOGETHER. I thought this was going to be more on bands like Bad Brains...
Any UK Afropunks out there, give me a nudge. Want to hear you.

I like the comfort in knowing that the Afro American has once again been the only race that has brought a new form of original music to this decade, hip hop/rap. ..

@teaze10....1# no if you're the only person of your own kind there, then that's punk rock, it's called Confronting your Mortality, both races contributed to rock and roll buddy ,we done it all, punk rocks dead, now days it's just a bunch of recycled and reused idea's coming from the left (whites) Quote: From KURT Cobain "What i Like"

We need more afro punks. I'm honestly tired of loving a genre that champions racial and gender equality but is made up of 85% straight white males. Rap and hip hop aren't bad things, but I think there needs to be more blurring of the lines of what's considered "black" and "white" music. I think black and white people should be able to keep and be proud of their heritage and culture, but if we're ever going to be truly equal, we need to have more things culturally in common.

@invadercheeze i hate the fact that modern blacks say they like rock and roll but still they listen to hip hop not saying anything is wrong with it but i always felt that it was more to it then hip hop i would get criticized for listening to white music i mean dude its more to it than listening to somebody getting killed or you get purp by the pound and goose by the 5th or fuckin a bitch or getting money come on we get it black ppl dont do too much but im just saying come with a new topic

Honestly...if you weren't born in or before the 80s..you cant REALLY understand this concept. Younger black kids(1989-1990+) still act like every cop wants to sic a dog on them like it was 1958..or everyone is hating on them for liking vans shoes and smashing pumpkins. The wars over kids...you never seen a burning cross..and being "punk" or "metal" or w.e isn't a SUBCULTURE anymore..its POP CULTURE...you can buy it at the mall...so stop acting like you have it any harder than white kids :(

@padatak I was born in the 80s, so I guess I qualify as one of the people that you describe in your statement, but, to be quite honest, teens that were born in the 90's face the same prejudice. You have to take into account the different types of neighborhoods these kids live in. Usually, in a majority African-American neighborhood, the primary choice of music genre is hip-hop/urban, so when there is one kid that says they love Marilyn Manson, they catch crap for it in increased volumes.

@Peridium .. Famous rappers say it's OK to "act like a white boy" and it's OK to dress like one to.

I mean I don't know if you pay much attention to that side of things.. but BET plays skateboarding shows and rappers sponsor skate teams...all I'm saying is..things aren't as harsh/complicated as they "used" to be...for younger white...or black kids....ya ya peace love w/e

@padatak I'm pretty sure that it's very different for people in different environments. Essentially, just because BET says it's "it's ok" doesn't always mean everyone follows that. Unfortunately, people are very ignorant of things like that, regardless of what they see on television. Hell, I still see and experience some prejudice from other "rockers", but hey, what do I know?

Why is it called afro-punk? just because the fans and the band are black? 2me it should just be called punk. If it had straight African music melded w/ the rock then it would be afro-punk, but since it doesn't contain african music (except the roots of rock is African) it shld just labeled punk. .

this seems strange. I mean punkrock has always been against racism and separation of races; it's always about misunderstood kids of any race, having something in common, and having something to say, united as one voice, so why should there ever be a classification for black people in punk? the name PUNK itself should already mean: revolutionary youth of all different colors and races... last thing we need is a term to divide the punk movement which is all about unity, does anyone understand me?

When Prince toured with Rick James back in 1981 they were called Funk/Punk, Prince hated the term because it was much more then that, still Prince was a First avenue alumni, the Minneapolis club were all the punk bands played.
Johnny Rotten (lead of the Sex Pistols) say in his autobiography that without the Sex Pistols we will never have Prince, so I guess Funk is the black Punk, ask Fishbone.

looks pretty stupid to me. they should make a movie about lonely white going to hiphop shows too. how about a band consisting of black men? seems to me that they had to sort out shows that fitted into their idea. for example any bad brains show probably doesn't. and these shows took place since '77, and i believe in those times that was something to be surprised about. or hardcore is a different case.
