Trigger Warning: Discussion of heavy mental health issues, violence, police brutality, and racially charged language.
In the wake of The AstroWorld Tragedy, I decided to revisit the inherently punk/goth roots of rap. I also wanted to remind ya'll that punk was not formed for looks, it was safe space for the marginalized to expel heavy emotions...and while it may not be obvious there is an etiquette and code of conduct in the underworld.
