There’s a million ways to miss a penalty on purpose. Tell the keeper. Sky it. Pass it. That was NOT one of them. He was crying for 10 minutes afterwards? What is happening in AFRICA
Until of course, the mainstream picks up on it. They come and experience the vibe & energy, then they tell everyone.
Said Soca fete becomes ‘too big’ & then loses what made it special in the first place, so the real core fans get annoyed & move onto the next…
In that scene who will change / fix it? No one, because:
More tables = more bottle sales = more money for the organisers
But onto my next point, the parties that thrive in all of this… Soca fetes.
The ones that get popular tend to because they’re Caribbean with no filter…
Even in the UK ‘yardie parties’ (hate that term)… Post Covid barely anyone dances, they feel most comfortable with liquor & an LED table… that’s why you’ve seen a rise in popularity in these…
Inside a party when other popular genres are playing you can be more chill/stand up. ‘Whining’ is a lost art - maybe because people are scared of rejection? Or scared of not looking correct / ending up on the events page, who knows…
Caribbean music is PARTY music, you have to dance/move/interact - post covid a whole generation of people are learning how to party from scratch & learn only from what they see now - that’s why lots of the events have started doing 23/25+ etc…
Ok so I’ve been on TikTok & seen loads of TikTok’s about Dancehall / Caribbean music being erased from the mainstream… here’s my analysis on it (that no one asked for 😂)…
