young black and latino kids in nyc have been co-opting punk fashion for a few years now. they'll still listen to hip hop and not really go to punk shows (that i can tell) but have been taking the trappings of traditional and early 00s emo style for a while now.
i see a lot of black kids wearing misfits shirts blasting trap music through their ipods.

Slaughterhouse and Pharoe Monch are playing Bushwick where I saw Cam'rom next week. Tickets are kind of pricey, so I dunno if I want to go or not.
I need one of these
