The roots and spirit of hip hop have always struck me as the exact same as punk - out of urban poverty and exclusion resulting in anger and lack of respect for the system (although the irony is that the Norwegian black metal scene was entirely a bunch of the most affluent privileged kids on the planet but their anger was over systemic control too). Today I see artists like Big Frieda as having beats and tones hardly different from what makes up a lot of extreme electronic music. Losing a lot of the credit for popularizing twerking must be disheartening on top of it. The whole New Orleans sissy bounce scene struck me as a strange term - it’s owning the identity of the musicians as endemic to the genre. I don’t recall any other sub genre popularly labeled with the musicians’ gender identity ever.
