afro-punk—(n.) (adj.)
1. a person of black or african decent who adheres to both an afrocentric—african pride and knowledge of black contributions throughout history—and punk ideology, such as antiestablishment and antiauthoritarian political beliefs; corporate disdain and distrust of law enforcement.
common characteristics of afropunks include wearing hair in a natural, chemical-free state such as afros, twists, braids, or dreadlocks; multiple piercings often running down the entire ear and/or unusual piercings such as septum rings, tragus, nape, and dermal anchors not normally seen on black people; stretched earlobes; turbans and head wraps; vegetarianism; eclectic taste in music including all genres and decades; activism in community; skateboarding and surfing; love of travel/ wanderl-st; and marijuana use.
afropunks also tend to date and marry outside of their race and/or nationality, which differentiates them from traditional afro centrism. afropunks often lead nontraditional and bohemian lifestyles, often choosing entrepreneurship and/or artistic careers as musicians, actors, writers, indie filmmakers, or spoken word artists.
2. a person with an afro-punk mentality but does not necessarily display any outward afropunk characteristics
“skipping cl-ss to get baked and then go to a soundgarden concert is so afro-punk.”
“growing your dreads out over your ears so that you won’t have to remove your piercings for work is so afro-punk.”
