So for one, being attached to black American culture, or not doesnt define your blackness, I never said that and thats on you guys if you guys every made that implication. Ive literally said my own dad would probably be one of those people because he actively does avoid most modern music. I wouldnt say hes not black, but I would say he actively avoids engaging with modern black culture for the most part, he likes the music he grew up with and thats enough for him, but even then Im still sure hes heard a sza song without actually knowing it was sza.

um, that's exactly what it means.

there are people who are involved in black culture, studies, empowerment, etc. who might not have heard a SZA song, or at least, isn't familiar with her music.

that's why I say it's a dumb metric, since it's something only you go by, and it's always someone on the internet that tries to explain how involved others are in black culture/how black others are.

and like I said before, how you get your music these days is different than it used to be.

let's say my top five favorite artists are: Drake, Kendrick, Lil Durk, 21 Savage, and The Weeknd, so I put in their playlists on Spotify - I might be listening to current music, and by chance, SZA might be featured on one or two of the songs that regularly play, but because the algorithm thinks I'm looking for a more specific sound, I might never hear Snooze, for example.

basically everyone got mad I said youre not actively apart of black American culture for not knowing one of the biggest acts in not only urban music but music in general right now

because it was a silly thing to say.
