I believe that it is safe to say that the influence that the black society has had on many social trends today is astonishing and has not not only made a big impact to the shaping of trends and social media content in general, but has sparked the minds of many other different creatives.
Black culture from its very roots has been a source in which many people got inspired from. From the clothes of streetwear, sneakers, oversized fitting close to accessories such as nail art and acrylics and gold hooped Jewelry has expanded and came from the blueprint of Black cultural trends. Black Individuals has always been known as the group that did things in a unique and different way, but you’ll notice that many trends today can trace back to what they’ve started.
As we continue to grow in our digital world, there is something that sets Black influencers in particular apart from others when it comes to creating or participating in a trend; they always bring the overall creative game up, making something so Uniquely different. Makeup/hair trends, Dances, Music, Comedy, and so much more, it is always so creatively done in a way that inspires others to not stay in the circle that limits creative ideas for that sake of being like everybody else, but standing out and creating a statement, which in the end, creates a social impact in the community.
Here are a few list of trends in which Black Indivduals, specifcally influencers and creatives has taken a big step in which changes the whole game.
