Honestly, cultural apropriation is real and Jow Forums, America and Latin America is the prove

>It's from 52
Well then even better

This is completely arbitrary, blues music like all "black" music exists within the european/western sphere of culture. There would be no blues without harmony nor strophic form, both of which are distinctly European musical characteristics.

ok lol
so if I listen to iron maiden am I appropiating black culture?
shut your ass up paco

By this logic there would be no western civilization without arab/indian numbers

You actually had me go and research the whole thing, apparently the very first rock song was written either by a feminist, Emma Willard, or a black woman, Trixie Smith, more formally.

In terms of earliest recordings you've got this from 51

Psychodelic rock got started with hippies traveling to Mexico to consume entheogens, are you appropiating our culture if you listen to that? Reality is claiming rock as "white" is bs, stick to your white supremacist rock and leave the rest of us be, also youtube.com/watch?v=hEA4iBvrLoA

Found even earlier

kek that is the thing there is no ground concrete undeniable proof that any song is literally first rock an roll song, but the thing is that you can't deny that whites influenced and made popular rock the most. Look at elvis, beatles etc. Black people pretty much don't even care about that kind of music.

Yeah, it isn't like the best rock guitarrist of all time was a black man, also if we're going by numbers I'm pretty sure there's a lot more Latin American rockers than Balts, Nordics and Germanics combined

I'm pretty sure being the most popular band and music artist in history is more of an achievement than being best guitarist.
>also if we're going by numbers I'm pretty sure there's a lot more Latin American rockers than Balts, Nordics and Germanics combined
well that either you show numbers or this is just empty talk...

Who gives a shit?

Dude, just look at population sizes ffs, Spanish is the second most spoken language on the planet, as for achievement yeah, being acknowledged as the most technically proficient performer of what is the most popular musical instrument in the history of mankind is certainly no small feat, once again, there's room for everyone in rock, say what you will about the Beatles they were no supremacists

Well nobody is forbidding anybody to rock, but the fact that you said that blacks are responsible for rock is just simply false and that is it.

Are you serious? Rock and roll was directly created by black people. Chuck Berry, Bo Diddly, Little Richard pioneered it after adapting it from jazz and the blues (two other black genres).

Metal was created by white people, but it traces its lineage directly from rock and roll.

Cultures don't have owners, only users.
