The Afropunk music festival in Brooklyn, New York, kicks off Saturday. Its return is the first since 2019, when COVID-19 canceled the historic music festival. Michelle Miller reports.
Never even heard of this music before- Afropunk music festival returns in Brooklyn, Hip Hop originated as punk music???

This festival fell off big time. It used to be for free at BAM then Barry Commodore Park to accommodate crowd size. It got commercial and large companies jumped in(Essence) and they started to charge for tickets to get in on the money grab and to add stage effects.
It's in BRIC this year and I'm looking at the crowd on social media and it looks dead. The festival had a good run in the late 2000s to the mid 2010s.
