Afro-punk (sometimes spelled Afropunk or AfroPunk) refers to African Americans and other black people in the punk subculture. Although Afro-punks make up a minority in the North American punk scene, they represent a majority in predominantly black regions of the world that have burgeoning punk communities, such as in parts of Brazil and Africa. There are many punk rock bands with black members, and several with lineups that are all black.

  • Afro-punk (sometimes spelled Afropunk or AfroPunk) refers to African Americans and other black people in the punk subculture. Although Afro-punks make up a minority in the North American punk scene, they represent a majority in predominantly black regions of the world that have burgeoning punk communities, such as in parts of Brazil and Africa. There are many punk rock bands with black members, and several with lineups that are all black. Notable bands that can be linked to the Afro-punk community include: Fishbone, Whole Wheat Bread, Bad Brains, Noisettes, Suffrajett, Suicidal Tendencies, El Pus, Dead Kennedys, Reagan Youth, The Templars, Stiffed (punk-rock band with Santigold on vocals), Bloc Party, TV on the Radio and 24-7 Spyz. Afro-punk has become a movement, comparable to the grassroots punk-related movements of the gay community in queercore, and of women in the riot grrrl scene.
