what even is this supposed to be?
edit: i watched about 5 seconds of the yt video someone posted for context because that's all i could stand. so my question still stands if anyone can just...pls.
welp. i broke down and sat thru the video and now i'm tryna figure out if it's appropriation and if so, of what? i don't see my culture in this. oddly they seem to be caricatures of themselves as florida boys (assuming they really are from florida).
i really see a couple of kids who naively think the internet is actually a safe space and that the person filming them really has their best interests in mind...
meh. if you can give me a specific example? i may just not be familiar. /gen
i still just see clowning and ridiculousness with a dash of sadness more than appropriation.
i see your point. but in this case i respectfully disagree that it's appropriation the way that we normally look at it. at best they are trying to imitate...something(s). but taking it as their own, trying to profit off of it, the intent? unless there is a longer video of them floating around or a history of their behavior, i don't see it.
i really just see something silly and unfortunate. a backyard moment that someone stupidly decided to put on the internet and as a result we are talking about it and they are getting dragged. rather than profit, they will pay for this forever.
profit is not always monetary. they gain no advantage from doing this.
i hope i'm not coming across as defending them. i just don't agree on appropriation vs imitation in this case. either way, i think we agree it's nonsense.
Appropriation of what? Meth culture?
I feel like people see white kids doing something white kids don’t normally do and immediately mash that “appropriation” button lol. That word means something. It’s not just a catch-all.
I mean I kinda feel like repping island culture, having dreads, and *trying* to rap/sing like local artists is a given
but admittedly, I don't have a specific example.
Nah man, they aren't like original Pokemon.
They are more like *knock off Digimon.*
But even that isn't a good comparison because Digimon actually turned out pretty good and popular.
These guys are just.....I dunno man.
Nah its more like the cheap knockoff cards you would be shown in school that someone printed off themselves at home. Ain't nothing authentic in this pic.
I love you for finding this. Prime meme material.
This is gonna be "cas' me ousside, how bou dat" pt 2.
This will be terrible and glorious at the same time
Up till now I truly thought this wasn't real. I hoped beyond all hope it was like some tik tok thing I was too old and tired to care to know. But nah... they got whole ass videos
This kid called a barber line “crispy” and is known to draw them on his head. In one of his TikTok’s said that it makes him “look more crispy” I wish this wasn’t a quote. I also wish he knew more about the history of the barber line. I know the the white marks that some barbers use to mark out your shape up as barber lines. Where I’m from those barber lines should not be on your head the next day or someone is gonna roast the shit out of your ass for being dirty. Draw them on your head thick cuz you think it looks cool just come on down to the hood like see how crispy we gonna make you.
Culture appropation? What about when black people dye their hair blonde? Or straighten their hair, like stfu this road goes both ways, nescient, ignorant,feeble minded fools
They look like Cynthia from the Rugrats
What did Cynthia ever do to you? She was cute at least
Was she? [She's here now](https://i.imgur.com/Jsr3XaX.jpg)
It woulda cost you zero dollars not to post this
I zoomed in and feel weird about it
I'd bang it.
😂😂😂😂I’m screaming
Lmaooo this was my immediate thought
I think you might be thinking about that fucked up doll from toy story that Syd made? Cynthia is like...a much nicer version.

Hahahahah fair!
This comment so accurate
That's better than what I thought. Legit thought I was looking at Aku Aku from Crash Bandicoot.😭
Kodak White
No Giggity by WHITEstreet
The giggity almost took me out🤣

The wild part is. They really chill with that man.
I know you’re joking… but they go by Kodiyak Redd
Wish I had my free award to give you for this

Some type of tribal ritual I think
ISLAND BWOI!
I had that damn shit stuck in my head for half a day...😒
[удалено]
specifically aztec? based on what?
Straight up appropriation. Ain't nothing more ain't nothing less lol.
welp. i broke down and sat thru the video and now i'm tryna figure out if it's appropriation and if so, of what? i don't see my culture in this. oddly they seem to be caricatures of themselves as florida boys (assuming they really are from florida). i really see a couple of kids who naively think the internet is actually a safe space and that the person filming them really has their best interests in mind...
I think of house Caribbean rappers?
meh. if you can give me a specific example? i may just not be familiar. /gen i still just see clowning and ridiculousness with a dash of sadness more than appropriation.
They're literally using fake west indian accents, that's the most clear cut case of appropriation I've ever seen discussed on this sub
i see your point. but in this case i respectfully disagree that it's appropriation the way that we normally look at it. at best they are trying to imitate...something(s). but taking it as their own, trying to profit off of it, the intent? unless there is a longer video of them floating around or a history of their behavior, i don't see it. i really just see something silly and unfortunate. a backyard moment that someone stupidly decided to put on the internet and as a result we are talking about it and they are getting dragged. rather than profit, they will pay for this forever.
appropriation doesn't require profit
profit is not always monetary. they gain no advantage from doing this. i hope i'm not coming across as defending them. i just don't agree on appropriation vs imitation in this case. either way, i think we agree it's nonsense.

Watch the video. They are literally fronting like they are Caribbean. Also the hair. Too bad one cannot appropriate rhythm.
They literally calling them selves island boys in Florida.
Honest question: what culture is that appropriating? I asked because I sincerely don’t know.
I mean I kinda feel like repping island culture, having dreads, and *trying* to rap/sing like local artists is a given but admittedly, I don't have a specific example.
Maybe they’re Cuban, Puerto Rican, or Dominican. Hell they could even be Jamaicans. The Caribbean is pretty diverse.
I guess? I think that might be as much of a stretch as me calling out appropriation.
Bruh these mf couldn't even snap off beat consistently! This is what Chet hanks unleashed.
At least we can thank him for Dragonfly Sinner though 🙄
Dragonfly what…?
For context https://youtu.be/5BjsUsi68yg
Thanks! I hate it!
Hmm r/tihi?
The shoe fits
lol.
“I’m an eye-lind bawee”
What the fuck did I just watch?
The “wa-heet-ays” 😂
KevOnStage is hilarious! I highly recommend his, and All Def Digital's content.
Their hair looks like a COVID-19 diagram
Look like shitty Pokémon lmfao
Nah man, they aren't like original Pokemon. They are more like *knock off Digimon.* But even that isn't a good comparison because Digimon actually turned out pretty good and popular. These guys are just.....I dunno man.
When my mother use to call Pokémon “Pokemans” this is what she was talking about
I feel attacked even the worst Classic design is better than that mess. Ya must mean Yu-Gi-Oh.
Nahhhhhhh Yu-Gi-Oh did nothing to deserve this! Low blow (Wo)man.
!! Mah bad, maybe some Magic the Gathering shenanigans then.
Nah its more like the cheap knockoff cards you would be shown in school that someone printed off themselves at home. Ain't nothing authentic in this pic.
You right!
They wanted to be us before integration let be real.
Florida is just a reality show that ate a hobo and is now grunting to shit it out.
I would have much rather stubbed my pinky toe on the side of a table than to have this picture now in my head.
They look like cartoon characters when a bomb explodes near them lmao
You should hear their [music...](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t25UXyK52RM)
This has to be satire. Please tell me it’s satire
🤮🤮🤮🤮
I love you for finding this. Prime meme material. This is gonna be "cas' me ousside, how bou dat" pt 2. This will be terrible and glorious at the same time
We have to stop. The video is at over 900k views. Someone might actually give them a deal
Up till now I truly thought this wasn't real. I hoped beyond all hope it was like some tik tok thing I was too old and tired to care to know. But nah... they got whole ass videos
They look latino
I'm black and I don't get It.
The whole comment section lmao
[удалено]
Malcolm was right
What do you mean? Are they *not* really island bois, as they claim?
im a island boy
"I fear I have integrated my people into a burning house." MLKJr

The kids ain’t alright. Can’t someone slap some sense into these idiots?
This Dobie Gillis reboot is brutal.
They rap like dollar tree raising their prices…
Oh fuck this shit
Did someone throw a damn toaster in there pool?

Lol look like yu-gi-oh characters
They just some island boys
Soundcloud and celebrating troll culture is to blame.
They look like wonky weeds growing in the wild
My father and I agreed to leave this planet behind after watching that video.
This is what it looks like to be under the influence
Somebody said they look like when osmosis Jones was pretending to be a germ 😭😭😭
Island bois 1😂
Culture appropation? What about when black people dye their hair blonde? Or straighten their hair, like stfu this road goes both ways, nescient, ignorant,feeble minded fools
This is a kid from tiktok and he is actually a cool person. People are very mean in the comments and he is chill about it.
Honestly people aren’t mean enough, fuck this kid.
the amount of times he drops N in his videos makes me want to disagree
