Pretty much every popular genre in the US has some connection to the black musical tradition, even down to sungenres (like DEATH being one of the first punk bands iirc) and it's like THE MOST defining thing about music in the US.

True.
Examples are The Stooges, MC5, Death, Rocket From The Tomb, Dead Boys, just to name a few that were around prior to 1976.

I'm a rock fan and I get it but unfortunately they came up in a white rock environment. Bands like Living Colour, Bad Brains and Death weren't on the airwaves...it's on us to put them on game
This doesn't work because it's just them doing the white rock group sound and aesthetic 😂

Haiti play their first men's World Cup game for 52 years on Saturday. These fans are ready 🇭🇹
Just qualifying was remarkable, given the difficulties faced by a team unable to play at home. May the tournament be a moment of joy and hope for Haiti 💙

Black people were making noise, punk, and experimental music long before smartphones even existed lol. You’re historically illiterate.
Death (before the Ramones), Pure Hell (1974), Bad Brains (DC hardcore pioneers, 1976), etc.
So yeah, we’ll stick to every genre AND rap :p

@davidmdraiman You grew up listening to Reggae as well as Reggaeton music as inspirations to you. Names such as Steel Pulse, Eddy Grant, Bob Marley and Bad Brains. I was gonna say The Clash and the Detroit punk band Death. Heavy music like Wax Trax. Industrious, industrial music.

See these guys? They started punk rock. It wasn't the racist Sex Pistols. It wasn't The Ramones. Definitely wasn't The Velvet Underground.
It was DEATH. Back in 1971.
Black people started music. From Blues to Rock n Roll to my favourite genre, Punk.
Yes you heard me right.

"Politicians in my eyes," recorded in 1974, actually sounds like 1990s grunge. DEATH was way ahead of its time.

All respect for Death bc they’re legitimately ahead of their time but it’s so funny to say “definitely wasn’t The Velvet Underground” and then name a band that came after them
