... the other Black experience
Hi
Hello AfroPunk, I'm Aezure. I just found this site today and I knew I needed to get an account. Obivously, I'm a black kid who likes rock music, and I just find it really annoying when people say that you're "white" or "not black enough". I say fuck 'em, I like what I like. Why should I be obligated to fit into a stereotype sheerly because of my genetics? It's illogical.
All that aside, I like to write songs, sing and play piano. I posted some of my original songs on my page. I like mostly indie rock, stuff like Vampire Weekend, the XX, Arctic Monkeys, Two Door Cinema Club, etc. I also like underground/alternative rap, like Childish Gambino, Das Racist and select mainstream rap artists, like Jay-Z and Kanye West.
That's everything about me :)

Hey guys, I'm Sterling Infinity. I found out about this site from my friend who happens to be a rock lover like me.
I wish there was something like this when I was growing up. Very happy to be apart of this community and I look forward to making lots of friends on here.

yeah, I hear ya. Oddly enough, Rock n Roll music, just like Blues and Jazz and so on is 100% inherently Black. The orginators of Rock n Roll like Chuck Berry, Bo Diddly, The Isley Brothers, etc. were all Black. True indeed that white people stole rock n roll music. That's a fair assertion. But, that's OK. Because in year 2012 we have more incredible Black Rock n Roll artists than you can shake a stick at. This is "Afro Punk". This is Black people reclaiming what is theirs.

Welcome to Afropunk! I've been a member here for a few years. Except for Arctic Monkeys, Two Door Cinema, and Das Racist I like those artists as well. You should check out Sleigh Bells (indie). Energetic music with guitars, bass, and rapping!
