Using the music of a culture we continue to oppress to this day in an effort to look “cool”, “edgy”, and whatnot, is really not okay.
Today, we see more and more ethnic Albanian artists and "regular" people appropriating black hairstyles with zero knowledge on the history of the many different hairstyles they appropriate.
There is something wrong with using products to darken your skin to the point that you look biracial.
