Thanks Götz. To be fair, we can't assess the motives behind the nomenclature at the time the decision was made so I don't really know for certain if it was intended to be a pejorative. As an example, the prefix of the genre's etymology is rooted in the Latin which simply means black. If it was thought that that had some kind of cultural relevance to the music, it might be more suitable than a vague "afro-punk" since I can't see anyone being comfortable with the hypothetical "central asian-punk", "far east punk", "american punk", "eurasian-punk", etc. But if you can find a compelling reference that the motive was not in good faith, I will remove it ASAP.
I just came across this. Mind you, I'm relying on a bad machine
generated English translation:
"As is music so far deprived of discovery and acknowledgement of
all music editors and music interested laymen, some legends,
hereinafter called definitions, have formed in the course of
time what actually is an impossibility, the term and its origin
(see urban legends)..."
"Negro punk is mistakenly held in many Internet forums for a
meager gag any unspecified Norwegian. That survived the
questionable term freshly compiled today in many MP3 players ,
so that explains that the word Negro is indeed not the same as
nigger or the label as a self reference is very common. The
first is probably mainly euphemistically and the second is very
questionable, more on this below in the third definition. Often
during this also refer to Russian Internet sites clarification
tests, which would clarify the concept. The pages are but
useless, because unfortunately illegible for the disputants. In
reality it is duplicates the Latin pages the Russian sides but
Cyrillic . Overall, these approaches make a self-referential
network, which is every few years strengthened by growing
MP3collectors and renewed with the same threads."
