Blackbear

Contemporary R&B
Contemporary R&BEmoHip hop

Blackbear is a Contemporary R&B and Emo act. Their catalogue also touches Hip hop. Their sound grew out of Rancid, Blink-182, New Found Glory, Alkaline Trio and Phoebe Ryan. Those roots explain a lot about how Blackbear arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as mgk, Trevor Daniel, gnash, Quinn XCII and Christian French, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Call Me Karizma, Mike Posner, Tyler Carter, Justin Bieber and James Blake, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 55 connections around Blackbear, reaching back through Rancid and forward to Call Me Karizma. Follow any of those threads to keep travelling the influence between bands and genres on Starverb.
