I know the tumblr users don't like rap music discourse was months ago but I just remembered, the craziest part of the fact that the userbase on here seems to be allergic to rap is that it used to be the exact opposite. Back in like 2010-2014 there were a bunch of rappers active on here and tumblr was seen as a legitimate way to build an audience for up and coming rappers. Odd Future was on here, A$AP was on here. There were rappers that were considered "tumblrcore". Cloud Rap was a trendy sound for a few years and people attributed its popularity in part to tumblr. Like not only did tumblr users used to listen to rap, they were fucking tastemakers for a little while (for better or for worse). The current state of things only really happened post dashcon when the site started bleeding users and the only people left on here were hardcore fandom posters who for some reason all listen to the same five Mother Mother adjacent bands. The hipsters took the fucking rap music in the divorce.

what is hoochie coquette and why racism in the coquette tag goes unchecked

as we all know. coquette is supposed to be a subculture that embraces girlhood and femininity and a joie de vivre for everyone. if that's the case, why are black girls held to such narrow and frankly eurocentric standards?

We need to be more honest about how we view black girls in the community and the racism they face.

This is just a snapshot of the hatred we recieve here for trying to make the tag as inclusive as possible. Everyday we see white girls post random things and it eventually gets absorbed as coquette culture, why are the black girls not the same?

Why is this seen as acceptable black girl femininity

but this isnt?

And I believe that complaining does nothing without action, and I want to be the change I want to see.

So I'm introducing hoochie coquette.

This substyle is based around and caters to the specific displays of femininity crafted by young Black American women. People often deny Black Americans have a culture but that's simply untrue, while it varies from region to region, there are things that unify us: hair bobbles, large gold earrings, long ornate nails, colorful hair, grillz and more. I want to celebrate and show the beauty of the culture we have created, and I no longer wish to alienate the girls people deride as 'ghetto' and 'hoodrats'. These girls are beautiful, funny, smart and an all around good time. Who says they aren't coquette just because they wear Baby Phat instead of Brandy Melville?

I also challenge young Black girls to antagonize why they look down on these types of girls. Are you really better than the or are you internalizing a yt supremacist worldview that causes you to abandon the girls who are your cousins? Your sisters? Your aunts and maybe even your mothers before you were born?

never forget ive been about this since day 1 in 2020 back before half of you even knew what coquette was
