if you’ve been to an Emo Nite, if you’ve ever loved emo music or called yourself emo, if you love punk rock and alternative rock, IF YOU ARE WHITE and you’re into rock and you support the black lives matter movement
as a person in this “bandom” community, you must raise the voices of black people in the scene. please watch this video. if you support the protests and what they’re about, if you condemn cultural appropriation, if you want to honor Little Richard and Sister Rosetta Tharpe and all the queer black people that pioneered this genre of music only to be stolen from and forgotten, watch this video. the music industry needs to own up.
if we’re mutuals in bandom and you haven’t reblogged this, please reblog it
I’m not doing this for notes and it won’t look ugly on your blog. this scene barely does anything to address these kinds of issues. raise black voices.
