Why are African American Trends popular among the young people?

I was looking for different blogs that were talking about valid teenage trends, and I found a blog, by KATE MOSH.

She was looking for answers to this question: Why are African Americans trends so popular among all young people?

As a teenager, I was interested in reading the opinions of people and why they think it is popular among young people.

Reading this blog entry, the writer had some good points of evidence that “the “superior” races have looked to the “inferior” races for inspiration.” (Kate Mosh, 1)

In some ways I agree that is a true statement.

  • I listen to rap music
  • I do watch MTV/BET
  • I like their cultures creativity and I try to create my own ideas

But, what is “black clothing, music, dance moves, physical features, slang, music, and art?” Are we all of a sudden categorizing hobbies, interests, or fashions to certain races.

Yes, some kids do wear their pants off their butt, and you call that black style. That may true

But Look on the other side.

That’s like saying, if  an African American wears a suit and tie, they are taking our trend?

That would not be right

**Trends are exchanged back and fourth, and they will always be like that. Trends are copied and used throughout all races, and the trend isn’t just used because of the race it came from. It’s just what works, and what goes.**

People exchange trends all the time, and try to enhance them and make them more creative.

IT DOESNT MATTER ON WHAT RACE COMES UP WITH THE TREND

The word: Dank

Meaning:

Connotation: Dank means to be approved of by a person

Synonyms:

They should have a dictionary made for teenagers.

They have a dictionary made for teenagers.

Good, Great, Amazing, Wonderful, Cool  (in the five senses taste, touch, sight, smell, hearing, or performance)

Other teenage words that mean the exact same thing:

Tight, cool stuff, dat new new.

Origin:

In all honesty, the word dank actually means potent marijuana.

BUT the way most teenagers use this word is the furthest away from the actually meaning.

Teenagers use this word to tell how great something smelled, felt, sounded, looked, or tasted.

You have probably heard this word before, and not known what it meant

Now instead of not knowing what kids are talking about. You can interpret what they are saying exactly

Try using this word around teenagers , and I’m pretty sure they will be shocked that you have such a dank vocabulary.

Examples of sentences that involve the word: Dank

  • When your at a restaurant and you haven’t ordered yet. A waiter walks by with some food that smells delicious:

ex/ Wow, whatever that was, it was dank and I’m ordering it!

  • You are at school, and a fight breaks out, one kids did a front flip kick, and knocked the other kid out:

ex/ That was by far the dankest move, I have ever seen to knock someone out!

The word dank is a universal word that means “cool” or “good.”

A great website that gives  good definitions of slang words is Urban Dictionary.

Introduction

Hello, followers!

What I am trying to do with this blog is this. I’m going to describe to you all about how teenagers act. Anything questions that you can think of, involving teenage trends will be answered in this blog. Why they say that word! What does it mean? Why are they cracking up laughing when you thought you a said a serious statement. Why are there kids fainting in the middle of school?

So when you walk around, you will better understand where these concepts come from and why they are apparent trends. I will provide personal experiences from the teenage world, what we do, and why we do it.

Yes, these concepts may be pointless in the real world but most of teenage trends are made to make people laugh, to be intimidated, to ask themselves what is going on right now?

In future you will see that the posts will have to do more with my personally experiences and the trends made in my life. But I can assure you that, some of the things I do are very trendy throughout teenage world.

Thanks :)
