Which decade had the bigger impact on modern black culture?

[Supreme365]

We got fed up, organized ourselves into a monolith, and DEMANDED equal treatment under the Law of the Land.....and got it.​

we were fed up, organized ourselves, and demanded equal treatment long before the 70’s

 

[Threnody]

the 70s

What sticks out about the 90s was black people having the ball in general doing fukking nothing with it

also fukk generation x as a staff, record label and crew

fukk the 80s

yeah the 80s was a damn nightmare

2020 is giving me 80s vibes....

 

[LezJepzin]

90s in every way culturally speaking

However it felt like it was better to be black among your fellow brehs and brehettes during the 70s.

Sure, but the Civil Rights Act wasn't signed into Law until 1964 which allowed our culture to proliferate exponentially in the 70's.​

90s easily...because if we are to be honest hip hop culture is inextricable from what I would term "modern black culture". Unforunately, the 2010s has permeated a lot of black culture today. And that's the social media generation. I see too much of it everywhere to the point where people are using social media language in their day to day conversations.

I'm just going by the premise of this thread, otherwise the Civil Rights era had the biggest impact on black people not only in America, but probably across the globe.

Nothing in the 90s had soul like this

Yeah the 70s was the Pinnacle for black music imo

Good point

The 90’s imo. How come you didn’t include the 80’s @JadeB?

I feel like the 1980s wasn't as monumental in shaping our culture in the way it is today than those two decades. Sure, hip hop evolved into the form we know it today at the end of the 1980s and the crack era brought to light the issues of gang violence but other than it didn't had a big impact in my opinion. Other than the more negative aspects.

Most cats on this board weren't around for the 80's and their animosity towards that decade can be summed-up in two words:​

Crack Epidemic.

I survived that shyt as a teenager and if not for the Epidemic, the 80's was the GOAT Era.​

As a black"generation Xer" from the crack era a lot of us were lucky to turn out just ok. We was fukked from the beginning. Lot of us were literally told we'd be dead or in jail by 18-20. Took a while for us to really grow up a gain any sort of foothold in this world. Late 70s and early 80s babies were a transitional generation living in a world from the past and changing into the future and we were called slackers by the time we were teens. We are a IDGAF generation

But there was national heroin epidemic going around during the 70’s, not to mention the fall of the Black Panthers and the creation of the Crips and Bloods happened during that decade as well. The 70’s weren’t as peaceful and prosperous for us as most people think on here.

True. Dunno why the media liked to protray the 70s as a totally peaceful decade.

@Cadillac @YouRemindMe Could y’all go into details into why y’all despise the 80’s so much? Legit curious

crack era, reagan, fashion, plus what I was told by older folks. shyt seemed horrid. I feel bad for you nikkas that went through that.

80s just seem like a desolate decade, there was prolly some positives but still. im no fan of the 70s either.

I was a little kid in the 70's. All I remember was going to school, stabbing a White bully for calling me a n1gger, watching 'Roots' first-run on ABC, the oil embargo, and the Bicentennial. That's also when my grandma died.​

The 80's was fun beyond imagination....until the Crack Epidemic. The music, the movies, the radio, the travelling, the TV shows, etc. It was damned-near impossible to be anti-social when pretty much everything was geared towards socializing. Basically a party from sunrise to sunset.

Crack pushed ALL that to the background and buried it in a little vial.​

You had to be there. Problem is, if you were, you wouldn't want to stay there very long.​
