The Origin of American Street Black Art and Street Culture

Hip-hop culture is one of the states in which street culture has evolved to the present. It originated in the African-American neighborhoods in the 1970s, and was originally the carrier for African-Americans to express their anger and resistance.

In the past decades, with the help of increasingly developed mass media, hip-hop culture has spread rapidly around the world, and has developed from four basic elements: disc playing, rap, street dance and graffiti to performance sports including skateboarding and street basketball. The essence of hip-hop culture is to express and prove itself more freely and confidently, which represents the personality of young people at the end of last century.

2 1 century, street culture spread to major cities in China. For a new generation of young people, street culture has become a symbol of coolness and fashion and a part of their lives. Hip-hop, a little rebellious and pursuing individuality, can represent their views on society and reality, and thus extend to form a new youth cultural style.

At every stage of modern history, there will be a group of passionate young people who can't wait to express their opinions. So every era has its own street fashion.

As early as the 1960s, when rock and roll rose, young people in Britain and America followed theBeatles' example, leaving watermelon head, wearing a high-necked shirt with a narrow-necked suit, which became the street trend at that time.

Punk was born in 1970s, accompanied by simple and rude music, light topless leather clothes and sexy tights. There is also a "non-mainstream" hairstyle that has evolved into the head of a Mohican. At that time, teenagers were embarrassed to go out without wearing a few holes. Almost at the same time, a kind of music called disco emerged in Latin America and black areas, which is a popular dance music in the disco with flashing lights in biubiu. Everyone must be familiar with disco style. Just look at the big earrings, shoulder pads and explosive heads in the photos of fashionable girls in China in the 1980s.
