Believe it or not, straight to jail.
What’s that garden gnome looking father fucker up to now.
That means they’ve banned Putin’s favourite: Blueberry Hill.
Summary:
Chechnya is said to have ruled that all music should “correspond to a tempo of 80 to 116 bpm (beats per minute).” Its culture ministry made the announcement in a statement earlier this week.
The new standard of music is relatively slow compared to a lot of modern day pop music and would rule out a number of western genres from being played publicly in the conservative Islamic society.
The republic’s leader Ramzan Kadyrov instructed culture minister Musa Dadayev to make Chechen music “conform to the Chechen mentality.”
“Borrowing musical culture from other peoples is inadmissible,” Mr Dadayev said.
The ban was announced following a meeting between the republic’s ministry and local and regional artists, but artists are said to have been given until 1 June to rewrite music that doesn’t meet the criteria. If their music isn’t reworked, they won’t be allowed to perform it in public.
Chechen hardbass fans in shambles
That’s one way to get all young people to leave the country.
What weird ass thing to do
I haven’t met a Russian that wasn’t a raging techno fan. Not sure how they are going to take this ban.
Interestingly, the BPM of most techno has been described by some researchers as intuitively positive because it most closely resembles the first thing we unconsciously hear – our mother’s heartbeat in utero.
Well what the hell are they gonna have in the background of all their TikTok videos now?
*Killing in the Name* by Rage Against the Machine: 87 BPM
Government: Not quite my tempo
160 can be 80…depending on how you’re counting it.
“Music too fast?, Believe it or not, jail”
“Music too slow? Also jail.”
But the rate of fire of an AK-47 on full auto is 600 rounds (bangs/beats) per minute, and that’s like their freaking anthem.
1984
*Darude Sandstorm intensifies*
Seeya to the majority of extremely popular Russian music.
They hate The Pixies
Sounds like something North Korea would do
Cunk: This Chechnyan law would make it illegal to play Belgian techno anthem ‘Pump up the Jam.’
Fun fact: the Russian anthem officially has 76 bpm.
Yes, they accidentally banned the national anthem.
You get Islam *and* Wannabe-Soviet authoritarianism. It’s a double deal.
Imagine being such a backwards shit hole that you start banning music.
Did the world enter the twilight zone in March of 2020 and never return? Like what in the hell is this utter nonsense
