AFRO-PUNK

... the other Black experience

Anyone?

I just started getting into it a few months ago and it is DAMN addictive. It just gets stuck in your head and grows, like a monstrous fungus. Plus, its basically late 90's/early 2000's RnB in Korean, and who could ever complain about that?

 

So am I alone here or has anyone else been infected?

C'mon, be honest ;)

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFuck my friend for getting me into this as a JOKE. I haven't even listened to all their songs but for some reason, I HAVE A PLAYLIST OF THEM ON MY ZUNE.

 

I just started listening to some bands on a whim just to get something new into my brain and while some are too sugar for my blood to take without going 'URGH, enough' there are some that just drag me in and have me zombified within the first 30 seconds.

 

And then I see the pictures of what these singers look like....holy CRAP. I know I bitch about how bishonen crap pisses me off sometimes but I guess for a lot of guys, the real life bishonen look WORKS. 

Ooooooohhhhhh yeah! 

The entirety of Big Bang is a perfect example. I don't know how the hell to explain it. Taeyang definitely went through a, 'I really want to be black' phase, cornrows and all. Plus, TOP has worn some African inspired hairstyles before. 

But that is not that big of a surprise, that band has been molded to be a copycat of American RnB groups. 

(On a side note, I really want to have Taeyang's babies.)

 

And on the playlist thing (also on a zune!) they have their own section. And it is always growing.

Are there any particular groups you are a fan of? I already mentioned Big Bang, but I also love SHINee, SNSD, 2NE1 and some of the old TVXQ stuff.

Yep.  I'm looking at k-pop now and then.  Sistar, 2NE1, and F(x).  2NE1 in particular.
