If you are on the fringe.
you need to get,....

Use it as a Guage and if you don't feel that bad.
when, you put it on, and you don't feel better after it goes off.
you need to respin it till you feel better.

:ohlawd: How did I forget heart shaped box. I'm with you. When I first listened to them I had the :what: :heh: "this shyt is trash." But after listening for a while I had a :ohhh: moment and I fell in love with a lot of their music.

Another band from that era I like a lot if Alice in Chains

The author's point was that he didn't fit into the narrow box of blackness created and propagated by Western ideals, and he often was made to feel like shyt because of it. He was a misfit in his own family and his own community, very much like Kurt Cobain. The author was able to connect to Nirvana's music, which represents accepting oneself for who one is, even if it bucks the norm of what is expected. This allowed the article's author to find peace within himself, and overcome his angst created by the people who kept telling him he didn't act black enough.

This.

Sometimes we find different avenues to navigate the way we feel. This kid was touched by Nirvana and it made him more comfortable in his own skin.

Respect.

@Cac Destroyer Sorry breh, but I'm going to need receipts :duck::feedme:. Eve clearly didn't cancel and Courtney seemed pretty nice/normal in the clip. I heard she's friends with Jay and Ye too.

I have to :snoop: at myself for falling for that. Courtney made some dope music too.

it's sad that so many of us black folks are closed minded to other art forms that don't fall into what, ironically, the white man pushes on us under the guise of "being black"

:francis: I got a lot more digging to do


When, mtv was mtv.
you would not have had to do much digging cause this was a staple late night oh shyt ran vid.

I so, miss the box.
tv, just is not the same.
holding the remote control, and not being able to us it to watch vids is not the same, either.
