This criminalization of drugs in various American cities led to the mass incarceration of Black and Latino men, since crack was readily available in urban centers. The young POC that brought the world streetwear were the same people to experience the systemic injustice of President Reagan’s War on Drugs. The first successful commercial rap single, Sugar Hill Gang’s “Rapper’s Delight,” was our first taste of the fashion movement to come. The music gradually spread downtown, flowing into Brooklyn and, in the ensuing decades, to the rest of the world. By the 1970s, gangs had established their turf this was the backdrop of the frontier where hip-hop took root and flourished. It was a result of the ‘50s and ‘60s, when the hip-hop genre was born amidst Bronx street gang culture. We have to recognize the double standard between POC and white people when it comes to the fashion industry. With the recent rise in media attention surrounding Black Lives Matter protests and the unjust killings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Elijah McClain, it’s become more important than ever to educate ourselves on the history of streetwear. Just like any cultural phenomenon, streetwear is a derivation, part of a broader change that gave control to mass culture involving fashion, music, and art.
