Why hasn’t black culture evolved pass the 90s

Ok. How is black culture different in 2023 than it was in 1993?

This can’t be truth. Cause hip hop it’s self has evolved so much.

You would get punched in your mouth for wearing fitted clothing or riding a skate board.

Went from drug dealers to users, openingly simp culture, more open to lgbt.

More dancing and fun music and less gangster, more depressed weirdos.

could basically be made today without changing anything.

Hell naw
The block is dead, especially in LA

Oh ocay I see. nikkas turned into cacs.

Bring bacc 93

You got another classic thread

 

[Elim Garak]

Coming of age, violence, drugs, bad decisions, life and death, poverty, searching for a better life, generational gaps, I could go on and on. It doesn't have anything to do with black culture lol these things will always be relatable.

hip hop really is the worst thing to happen to us since crack. everythings so stagnant and stale, it spread gang culture worldwide.

gang culure spreads, it doesnt evolve.

Hip hop hasn't been solely "culture" in some decades. That's a corporate tool and it's also an art form. It has been used to propagate some terrible messages but it's not even top ten worst things to happen to black people.

Hip hop has been around 50 years. In that time frame, you've had crack and other drugs that have had worse impacts. Stop and frisk, police brutality for clout, Rachel dolezal, legal weed while nikkas are in jail, Donald John Trump, drugs again.

Don't blame rap.

It's not the same as '93 rn

If we using media as the metric...Insecure, Atlanta, Power, and anything involving Jordan Peele etc ALONE is destroying this narrative.

Sure, movies could be remade but the same can be said for plenty of "white" movies. Doesn't mean culture hasn't changed.

This a good point, I guess I would say the most different is how open people are compared to past

 

[Ghost Utmost]

Cause the 90s was the ultimate.

 

[3rdWorld]

90's was great for art but also full of negativity..it was the opposite to the 80s and 70s.
Powerful cacs realized they had Black people where they wanted them, and made sure it became the culture of the day and to never move beyond that point. You all still think shyt just happens spontaneously.

No problem.

-Views on mental health and therapy are wildly different
-financial literacy is openly encouraged
-appreciation for the diaspora is seemingly up, despite content "creators" sewing discord
-for better or worse, the music is vastly different in themes and voicing.
-going to college/being educated isn't seen as out of the ordinary
-black owned businesses are not rare, especially with the internet
-people who aren't Christians aren't pariahs like they once were
-affluent black neighborhoods aren't a myth or dream
-in America, rampant homophobia has died down. For better or worse
-black men having feelings isn't abnormal.
-we eat differently. Being healthy or vegan or on a diet isn't just some neo soul shyt. It's regular degular.

The list goes on.

Yeah, that isn't true. A lot more people were on the "black is black" tip in the 90s. Cross colors was huge back in the day
