I am a product of the 80's and early 90's. Smashing Pumpkins and Soundgarden were two of the first bands I remember telling my parents I wanted for christmas or my birthday. Of course there were the cassettes of Guns n Roses laying around in my mothers collection with "Sweet Child of Mine" and "Welcome to the Jungle" having played a pretty large influence to the sounds that would influence my personal taste in music. When I was in 7th grade a musician, known to the world as Kurt Cobain, "took" his own life. Most of my friends in our rather large circle all took it upon ourselves to wear solid black for the next month straight. Then a band called Tool took me by storm. I was in love. Korn, Pantera and even a group that I had felt like a badass listening to and would eventually push out of my life because they decided to sue their fans because the band Metallica didn't understand technology and how to leverage it to their advantage, they too played a large role in my life. Foo Fighters, when Dave Grohl, came on a late night radio show started talking about a project he was working on and they played the better majority of the album, inspired me further.
Those bands, mind you, while predominantly white, did have some ethnicity variables, but none related to African descent. Sure, grandma wanted me to listen to wholesome music and I believe I was like 12 or maybe even 13 and she bought me Hootie and the Blowfish album. I would eventually listen to some Sepultura, which is a brazilian heavy metal band, but one of the members is clearly black (maybe not african...) Point is, it was about the art, music and love of it. Never did I really go seeking out imagery, video or photos of the members. With the exceptions of people like Billy Corgan, who is so unmistakable, if I had seen any of the artists on the streets... chances are I would never have known they were the ones responsible for the music I adored as a kid. That certainly has changed over the years, of course, with television and internet being able to slam info in ones face whether you want it or not, but the point is... back then it was the love of the art.
Today it is all about how edgy or gratuitous can one be. Singing song about ones Wet Ass (female sex genitalia) or how much one can shake the fat on their ass. Nothing that black artists today are making "music" about is of importance or real world consequence. The feeling and emotion is lost. Hell, even most white artists have just gone full retard and are unable to come up with anything original. It's as if social media has attacked them all or they see what happens if you try to do something unique and original, that the social media mob will then come and try to destroy you over something you may have done when you were in middle school.
There really isn't any redeeming qualities about you or your tweet, LONI, but as a certain loser once said and I am going to take it out of the context he used it in, "THIS IS AMERICA." Welcome to the personal hell you have helped shaped this country to currently be in. It's time you go get your hair did correctly, get your make up on point, get off social media and stop being a racist cunt. Fuck you, Loni.
Well Loni....
