This is Africa. The punk band is called TCIYF (“The Cum in your Face”). Its members are black African. It is based in Soweto, South Africa. Why are blacks making punk music? From Africa Is a Country:
“We’re from Soweto but kwaito [South African hiphop/house combo] was way too slow for us, hip hop was way too monotonous… so boring! All they do is say nothing. So we just wanted to do something that was powerful…”
But judging from the song and the post, TCIYF also says a lot of nothing. But there is a difference here. It is not the same kind of nothingness as, say, the nothingness of AKA (SA’s Jay Z). There’s much more danger in TCIYF’s cultural vacuum.
