in 2019, rapper Damiano aka "The Miserable Genius" released an album named "Melanincholy" and defined it as: "the pensive sadness that comes with being black or brown." The album is a lyrical dissertation on race, generational trauma and colonialism. Melanincholy was made in response to the lack of emphasis on black and brown people in recent conversations about mental illness in America and anxiety/depression in Millenials/Gen Z.
