There would be no American music as we know it without the contributions of Black artists. Since the first African music was brought over by people in bondage as early as the 15th century, Black singers and musicians have had a hand in every aspect of American music s evolution. From country-western, the foundation of which was banjo music from Africa, to rock n roll, first played by a Black woman on electric guitar in 1938, each genre of American music has a Black artist (or many) who helped create it.

Indie, alternative and classic rock cushions by Rat Rock
They are classic designs and logos by Rat Rock that cover a spectrum of what I would largely call alternative rock. But that takes indie, 1960s beat and psychedelia plus logos associated with any of those scenes. If you see the cushions then you’ll get the idea.
