Rock music is often produced and enjoyed under the pressure of social constraints, and the restrictive culture of post-dictatorial #Nigeria made for a perfect cooker. In the 1990s and 2000s, teenagers who rejected the country’s politics of restraint in dress, physical appearance and behavior embraced American punk and metal imports. They called themselves “Gothics,” shorthand for a composite of binding beliefs and aesthetics from different rock subgenres, including dark clothing, severe makeup and an obsession with death. In the last decade, they have taken their act offline. Each year they congregate at #Rocktoberfest, the only festival in Nigeria dedicated to rock and alternative music. It has become a crucial meeting place for members of the country’s underground rock community. “If we are going to make this mainstream, we need to create our own ecosystem,” said Lekan Dada, 30, the co-founder of RockNation Nigeria, which produces the festival. @janhoekjoh and @stephen.tayo took these photos of rock music fans in Nigeria.
