I would say no, because they said they were inspired by afro funk and all that. But I can see what some would say yes

Who the fuck cares?
James Gomez
Who cares? Anybody speaking English, wearing jeans and a t-shirt, driving a car, using the internet, or recording any kind of music in general is appropriating white culture. Who do you think invented recording studios, and the electricity they run on? Who do you think invented vinyl records, cassette tapes, CDs, or streaming?
Jaxon Cooper
No.
Hunter Robinson
