Anybody here messing with that Afropunk event...

[MikeyC]

funny

you the one focus on the nikkas in dresses but not the women

but again, I don’t see why this is cause for alarm

What, these the women you're checking for?

Have a group of friends that went. Very alt black / homosexual but like someone said a straight dude will clean up. Alt black women are freaks. Every single one.

I live a block from there .shyt was more crowded than I've ever seen.
Thank God I have a parking spot now... Otherwise, I'd be spiteful as fukk!

But it looked crazy out there. Next year I'll go

Daam.

I've been there 3 times and enjoyed it. Vast majority of people are "normal." Everyone is there for a good time and no one bothers you. Atmosphere is always positive. It has gotten too corporate lately so I haven't gone in a few years.

@MikeyC

Speaking from first hsnd observation...

Those images you posted are not symbolic of the majority of women out there.

Most came to party and shyt and look shyt doing it... There was alot of bad women out there.

I live a block away.

I was out Saturday & Sunday nights and although I didn't go to the event, when I was getting off the BQE and driving through those blocks, which had me at a standstill because of how mucg foot and car traffic there was, I was able to people watch.

Why is it even called afro punk? These "different" Negroes are so damn lame.

I went yesterday. It is a VERY ACCURATE representation of the crowd. I was with my girl, and we seemed hella outta place. There were very few straight black men there, so any single brotha could probably make a come-up if he chatted up some girls and played along with the Blavity shyt.

I am probably one of the least homophobic people on the coli, but even I was taken aback at just HOW gay the event was. I didn't have a problem with it... I just guess I hadn't been exposed to that environment before, so it shocked me at first.




My main problem with the festival was that there were TOO MANY MOTHERFUKKING PEOPLE!!!! I love live music, but I guess festivals are not for me. We wanted to see The Internet, Miguel, and Daniel Caesar. We ended up missing Miguel, so we could get a decent spot to see The Internet. Usually, crowds at Alt-R&B concerts are very chill, but this crowd had my girl and I ready to smack a few people. Everyone was packed like sardines and people had the nerve to keep trying to push through to the front, knowing damn well, there was nowhere to go. We literally had people pressed up against us in all directions. Then, they only had one exit open, so you had to wait in line to fukking leave!

Daniel Caesar and The Internet both performed very well, but I'll stick to seeing my bands in intimate venues, from now on. We went to Afropunk strictly for the music, and not the fukkery. Unfortunately, the fukkery outweighed the music.


We only bought Saturday tickets, anyway, so we didn't go back today.

I'm contemplating going in Atlanta but if it's like that in NY, then.... it's only gonna be gayer here

but your last point is the biggest one for me. these artists are best seen in intimate venues.​

What should it be called?

Okay, I have something to say in regards to afropunk, gentrification, Brooklyn, the arts, expressionism and etc.


Yahoo is now part of Oath

This to me sums up what's been wrong with society for the past decade and some change. I know for a fact that she knows nothing about afropunks history or original purpose. I know for a fact that she's a follower that just threw on that shirt for likes, self promotion, money and attention on social media. She more than likely is someone who moved to Brooklyn that isn't from there to be cool, trend hopping with the hipster culture that's pretty much ruined Brooklyn with the whole packaged trend that goes along with gentrification (the artsy, vegan, yoga, coffee house, craft beer, vintage clothing, vintage shyt, hipster shyt, social programming and social engineering by real estate developers and business people). All this posing and faking is really fukking up real shyt. This just annoyed the shyt out of me because I know that her and a bunch of other people basically went to afropunk for all the wrong reasons.

It annoys me how nowadays we can't have real shyt or be real because there's so many people that are more interested in being famous, getting paid, and basically serving their own self interest even at the expense of ruining things.

Personally, I wouldn't even want to go to that event like that because it's purpose isn't what it really is about. There's a time and place for everything. It seems like nowadays folks are trying to force all this disingenuous bullshyt down everyone's throats and those of us that are real pretty much see these people misrepresenting or playing themselves. She gets what she's looking for so to her this is a win but it's really a loss for all of us that are real with ourselves because people see her and begin to think that she is what it's all about.

I'm really getting sick and tired of all these self centered, self serving, narcissistic opportunists and all this gross bullshytters fukking ruining good things.

Me personally, I would like to dye my hair blue and go about expressing myself (i've always wanted to do that shyt since my senior year of high school which was like 2003-2004) but when I see her and all these other people doing it to be cool, attention seeking and etc, it makes me not want to do it. I'm doing what I'm doing from the heart. These folks can't even be themselves. They're just doing what they're doing to be liked by other people, likes on social media, money, attention and etc. shyt is beyond corny that grown ass people gotta do that shyt.

This is similar to black lives matter and these actorvists injecting itself into other people's grassroots activism movements on some legit, heart felt, meaningfull shjt combating oppression, co-opting them, basically some controlled opposition shyt which kills the original purpose. I can't with this shyt.
