I kinda disagree. People aren't calling every young black breh a YN. You have to have certain characteristics, such as the Sheisty mask, sagging in skinny jeans with your whole ass out, walking around with a stick on display, etc.


Open and shut case.

The only black teenage boys I've seen called YN had the sagging skinny jeans, sheisty mask, and hoody in the middle of July.

The coli is goofy. They think that bullshít is empowering.

People just don't understand the power of words.

I mean I'm fine with not using it but as someone already pointed up, the term is generally used for the young and the restless/recklesss types.

This idea that you're a YN just because you're a black male child is not really the context it's being used. If anything, G-herbo's son wouldn't be getting associated with "YN" descriptors if his daddy wasn't the quintessential YN type.

shyt kinda sounds like a different strokes special episode when you frame it otherwise, like the crossing guard is patting YN's on the head on their way to school or some shyt lol

His daddy doesn't have to do with who he is

Look at TIs guitar playing som

Andbwhether a kid is bad as hell or not, no one should be getting called that

G Herbos son was crying on camera because he wanted his parents to get back together

He sound like a suburb kid

Like dudes in here already getting at I'll take "YN" outrage serious when calling ourselves nikka goes out of style. Otherwise it's just tiktok militancy. Hopping on a trend. :coffee:
Why not both?

Why we have to complain about both in the same thread to get one or the other seriously?


I've stopped saying nikka on here and in my personal life

I myself know who I'd label an YN and who I wouldn't. I don't label all young brehs one, its an easy distinction to me as it should be to other black folks. White folks ain't calling us YNs its still amongst each other, so I wouldn't even worry about their opinion on this.

That's you though. Dude crying in op can't even muster up the discipline to stop saying nikka in a rant about the role that the term YN plays in pathologizing black males, when we both know the word nikka has done a lot more damage in that aspect. But if you was to call him out on that in that moment he'd probably Juelz and get emotional if you kept pressing him on it.

Idk maybe I'm just cynical, but i feel like i got a sense for when nikkas are hopping on a hot trend for engagement.
