Welcome to rock, punk, and metal music.
Discrimination is frowned upon.

I've played guitar at shows so l know that's not entirely true.
There's still a heterosexual core audience for those music genres.
So they have formed their own variatons to serve their groups.
Maybe Afropunk's target audience was never straight black men.
Probably because straights are the majority of the population.
And AfroPunk target was Black people who are into punk/rock/alternative music. Guess who isn't as into that? Straight Black men.
I wouldnt say Jamaican brehs were the first skinheads, however, their look from working the docks with low haircurts, suspenders, and boots influenced the look.

I see your point now and it makes sense.
I think it also reinforces the viewpoint that our own subgroups use alternative music beyond hip-hop as a vehicle to distance themselves.
Listening to rock nowadays makes you a 'other' black now?
I guess l'm

Their like of alternative music ostracizes them.
I was a metalhead and a major punk fan from 10 on up, and everyone called me an "Oreo" or just White.
I just loved the music and the revolutionary message, I was sort of "pushed out" though. Alongside other things like anime, skateboarding, and fantasy novels, things that aren't considered "Black" in the stereotypical sense.
They become safe places for Black people who are ostracized.
Invention 80 years ago doesn't correlate to popularity now.
Rosetta Tharpe invented rock n roll, and you sure as hell wouldn't have seen her as the face of rock even 15 years later.
Black men like hip-hop more than anything else, and for some reason shun people who are Black but aren't fans.

I think there is a fear of being white-washed when you branch back into rock since it was 'stolen'.
I blame societal imagery at large, and the higher economic barrier of rock for the current consensus.
Black rock is certainly dying on the mainstream vine.
