I recently bought Gotye and Adam Lambert new albums through iTunes. It seems for some people its strange to imagine a black person listening Gotye for example, since he makes "White Music". Some people at forums already told me they thought I was white because of my musical preferences. There really is this kind of thing in US? A Black Music market that differs from the White Music? |
Stickball got it right. The stereotype is that black people aren't supposed to like "white" music, whereas whites are "allowed" to like anything. (all being untrue, of course).
Part of it is understandable, since mainstream white music got where it was today by ripping off black music and cleaning up some of the themes.
Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.
