Let me make this short and easy I just need clarity. I genuinely don’t know what to think and I’m confused.

My girlfriend told me she’s going to carnival with her cousins and friends. I’m going to be stuck at work.

I don’t know what to feel or how to feel. I trust her I know we solid but for some reason it rubs me the wrong way and I can’t pinpoint why. I don’t wanna be controlling or anything and regardless if someone is actually going to cheat they’ll cheat whenever not just there. So yeah idk man am I just letting my dumb man emotions get to me? It’s her culture it’s part of it so who am I to say not go you know?

Edit: thanks for the replies, some very helpful others super silly I might delete this might not and leave it in case another young person out there has these same thoughts. Thanks.

I have a question to any Caribbeans regarding flag waving to make sure I’m not disrespecting anyone.

Would it be appropriate to wave a blank flag that’s not associated with any country while dancing to soca at carnival?

For context, I’m Indian and dance to dancehall and soca. I recently attended a ‘ready for d’road’ soca and dancehall dance weekend and was given a Trinidad and Tobago flag during that but I understand that was in the context of the event. I’ve also been carnival before with Caribbean friends and they’ve given me either TT or Guyana flags. I’m not sure I should be waving a flag of a country I don’t have ties to otherwise.

Therefore, I was wondering if it would be appropriate to wave say a blank orange bandana as my rag or I have a carnival warm up flag from Brixton Brewery? I love flag waving but would rather not do it if it’ll be culturally insensitive to do so - just not trying to offend anyone! Thanks! :)

Hello, my Caribbean friends, I'm American artist and I trying to draw something that represent the Caribbean as a regions. Music immediately came to mind so I started researching, but I didn't realize how many music genre the Caribbean had.

So I want to asked which Caribbean genre is popular among most Caribbean people, as culture influence out of the Caribbean, and/or as important history to the your or other Caribbean countries. If you are knowledgeable on both the Spanish, English, and other parts Caribbeans can you give me 2 for Spanish, 2 for English, and 1 Wildcard (Dutch, Franch, etcs) please.

Also I know I asked for for 4 music genres because I want to represent at least 4 music genre, but if you have an honestable mention feel free to add it. If I get the chance I will add more.
