Hip hop music is so important to young black Americans because it was invented in the slave era, not just as a method to cope and express there suffering but as coded communication to wards each other in plane sight of overseers. As a way to devise there next escape or warn each other. After slavery black people no longer had to sing about there next escape. but oppression and suffering still continued so they kept on singing, as black plight evolved so did the music. Rapping evolved from the Blues, Blues evolved from spirituals. Today Rap is a form of expression for black people. Every black person con identify with it in some form or fashion its part of there culture and history.
Indie music inspires me because it calms me down, they are powerfully emotional, they spark emotion but don't talk about how there lives suck.
