My Definition…My Definition is This.

AfroGeeks: Black, Post-Black, Pan-African Diasporic (including mixed folks) lovers of sci-fi, fantasy, tech and mech, horror, fantasy, anime, magick and other outre stuff traditionally (stereotypically) considered things only white people dig. Basically, if you were teased, beat up—or both—for being into what you were into, you just may be an AfroGeek.

Alterna-Black: Black, Post-Black, Pan-African Diasporic (including mixed folks), para-mainstream entities. Has love for—or a position in—mainstream popular culture, but (usually) isn’t embraced by the lovers (read: white majority) of mainstream popular culture.
