Why is the history of punk music so white? The usual images you see of the #punk era, which developed throughout the 1970s, portray it as ugly, raw and beautiful. Faces crisscrossed with safety pins. Black eyeliner bleeding into caked-white faces. Leather jackets and bright manes gelled into peaks. But while the multi-coloured hair dye is ubiquitous, another type of colour has often been noticeably absent. There’s no denying that the UK punk scene was, in part, driven by the anger and isolation felt by the white working class. But punk music is not the sole property of whiteness, even though to people of my generation it may appear that way at first glance. Like many facets of pop culture, its historical image has been whitewashed: when you think of punk in the UK, it’s bands like #TheClash, #TheSexPistols and #TheRamones that immediately spring to mind. But the ‘spirit’ of punk is present, and has always been present, in music made by black people too, from obvious co-conspirators #BadBrains through to bar-spitting rude boys and today's radical, no-fucks-given rappers like Young Thug @thuggerthugger1 and artists like @FKAtwigs. In many ways, black people were the original counter-cultural figures, racially excluded from a domineering white society, albeit not out of choice. Our music and culture has been intimately linked with the punk genre since its inception. – words @charliebcuff #dazedinstastory Read the rest of the piece now at dazeddigital.com [link in bio] ?
