Is Gen Z killing street culture? Being a street nikkah is now lame.

Didn’t watch the whole video, but judging by the first two minutes, it’s basically narrows down to suburban kids embracing being from the suburbs. It’s not so much GenZ breaking street culture, it’s certain kids coming to terms that they don’t have to cosplay. After all, it’s mostly the GenZ kids the past 10 or so years going viral for doing dumb stuff, and being influenced by the streets while living in the burbs. And then you have the biggest artists of their generation being “street” rappers like YB. YN culture, Sheisty Masks, etc. “Street culture” is always going to be around, if the environments that create the culture don’t change. Last I checked, the hood and poverty haven’t evaporated. :yeshrug:

mentally/emotionally broken women are always going to be in the market for street nikkas, that's what they are for

I would say that men need to intentionally choose their environments, if you're in an area that glorifies street mentality then you need to move around.

I think part of it is just visibility. You're able to see people either get clapped or get sent up for football numbers in real time more than you could back in the day. And the folks that are suspiciously dodging consequences are getting proven to be snitches of some sort faster than before. It used to be that people would go decades with, at worst, wearing a snitch label that people couldn't really prove. But now, folks are pulling that shyt out of accessible records ASAP.

If all these kids see is that it ends one of three ways, none of which are great, just getting a regular ass job and minding your business really doesn't sound all that bad to them.

Also add the fact

With social media compared to 25,35 years ago you can see whats happening to people in every city and state today compared to back then you just knew what was just happening in your own city or whatever bullshyt some rapper was saying
