Kwaito | South African History Online

Let's talk BLK JKS


Aaai Aaai Grey patch heads

I’ve stumbled and danced my way across some useful information that you “Greyies” will find very interesting, some of you may already know this band, two words: BLK JKS. The BLK JKS are a South African well know band that produce music that is similar to Kwai-Core if it is not actually Kwai-Core itself, so yes I have researched about them and have dedicated the next few blogs to strictly talking about this band and looking deeper into their genre of music, who they are, what makes them so unique, I will be carefully unpacking this band and delivering it to you on a imagination level… So yes maybe our little Kwai-Core city is not entirely “new” and maybe the BLK JKS have done something similar to it but I’m sure we have taken a different routine and ventured out onto our own expectations of Kwai-Core music and the things that would surround this music genre.

We learn, explore and venture everyday and when we find people with a common interest it shows that we are not just weird but we think out of the box and live life with a little color filled in it, Please do pay careful attention to the appearance of the BLK JKS, they style, their hair and accessories.

P.S Watch out for some cool pictures and please d follow my blog.

So I’ve been talking about Kwai-Core with my friends and of course they roll their eyes at me because it requires them to do the unexpected...travel to Kwai-Core city with me, where your imagination can do as it pleases. Kwai-Core artist would be of mixed artist, we would call the artist “smarties”, concerts would be all over the world bringing different people together.

Big screens with the lyrics of the songs would be available for everyone to read and sing along says Thando, “I believe that the enjoyment of the song is through singing it, being able to emotionally connect with the song.” I agree actually, this will also create a connection between the “smarties” and “Grey patch heads my attentions”.

Onke was thinking a little outside the box, on stage she said we would require stage dancers to teach us the moves of the song, relating back to Kwaito, as mentioned earlier in my blog that Kwaito music use to always have some form of dance that went viral when the songs were released, also a very good marketing strategy if I may say so myself.

P.S Please do follow me Grey Patch Heads, so we can lead together.

Kwai-Core Fashion


Wola wola Grey be patch heads! Let’s talk some kwai-Core fashion, which would be ideal for the events and concerts for this music genre.

So strictly no bright colors that call upon bees and yes that includes color-blocking! Think about fashion in the olden days, your “Sofa Towns” colors and think about the colors that are worn at these underground hard core punk band performances. Clearly this would be your “Dull colors”; these are your black and whites, your greys and navy, brown, beige, pale mustard, dark brown, hazel and creamish colors.  The people would be required to express who they are through clothing of course, with out crossing the boundaries that are set by the Kwai-Core fashion police, however incorporating a splash of what this music genre is in clothing.

Every one would be obligated to wear flat shoes because when you hear the music you will JIVE and because well obviously flat shoes are more comfortable, preferably close shoes, no short shorts, dresses, skirts or whatever that is not knee high, nothing tight this is not the red carpet… at these concerts we dress old school, dance old school, strictly promoting old school with a touch of punk in it! Aaaaaai Aaaaaai Greys!! We Kwai-Core.
