The messed up part is that the lack of exposure to blk music I think is having an effect on blk teens of today. Back in 1974 blk kids weren't listening to Captain & Tennille and The Osmonds...in 1984 blk kids weren't listening to Pat Benetar and Culture Club...in 1994 blk kids weren't listening to Ace of Base and Lisa Loeb...in 2004 blk kids weren't listening to Avril Lavigne and Hilary Duff...but in 2014, blk teens ARE listening to Katy Perry and Taylor Swift, while trying to look like suburbany hipsters. I feel like blk kids are losing their identity & becoming detached from their culture compared to generations back and some of this I think is attributed to this pop culture exclusion of black entertainment.
