Chechnya bans all music deemed too fast or too slow | CNN

Authorities in the Russian Republic of Chechnya have announced a ban on music that they consider too fast or slow.

www.cnn.com

‘Minister of Culture Musa Dadayev announced the decision to limit all musical, vocal and choreographic compositions to a tempo ranging from 80 to 116 beats per minute (BPM) at a meeting Friday, the Russian state new agency TASS reported.’

“I have announced the final decision, agreed with the head of the Chechen Republic Ramzan Akhmatovich Kadyrov, that from now on all musical, vocal and choreographic works must correspond to a tempo of 80 to 116 beats per minute,” Dadayev said, according to TASS.

So I guess Stoner Sludge Metal is like the only one that fits the bill?


Oddly enough the Russian national anthem is 76 BPM so it would technically be illegal

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

That's pretty extreme. Should be 72 bpm to 118 bpm.

 

[YCoCg]

Well Russia won't be running in the 90s anymore*





*yeah that's an old one

 

[intbal]

Punk officially outlawed in Chechnya.
Sad times.

That’s the thing..you just have to find the odd songs within the 80 to 116 BPM ratio:
Tom Waits 89BPM:


Total punk…and topical because that’s probably how they came up with the bill.

 

[Grildon Tundy]

Nobody tell the Minister that half- and double-times exist.

They'll still miss out on BPMs 0-40, 58-80, and 116-160, but it's better than nothing.

For dance it’s 180 BPM or go home:


Best exercise you can get.

Yeah, but you miss out on this speed punk masterpiece:



And most of the songs from Toy Dolls.

Although I suppose they can listen to some pretend punk trash from Green Day. But why not just drink some bleach instead?

 

[What A Shame...]

Wait till poor Dimitri finds out about this...

 

[Dacvak]

Damn, next they’re gonna take away 5/4.

 

[Ribi]

Dj Screw rolling in his grave

 

[eddie4]

I understand banning a type of music, or music that's too explicit, or it doesn't align with the country beliefs, etc. but tempo?

 

[SJRB]

How totalitarian.

As a not that good musician i applaud that decision.
Finally i can tell the other members of my trash metal band to slow their horses down or face the consequence.

More seriously i don't understand, as Grildon Tundy said half and double times exist...

even more seriously i refuse to believe that the 116 bpm limit was coincidental. Chechnya prime minister is just salty he cannot compose iconic basslines at 119 bpm like Donny Benét

Never!

Because they are a bunch of dumb fucking cunts.

Can't have people getting too excited or aroused now.

Unless it is with a goat.

 

[Mr Reasonable]

Never!

 

[AJUMP23]

Does this ban SKA music.

 

[daffyduck]

 

[Bartski]

can go half or double time on all subdivisions so it's only gonna impact house music

Music like this will obviously lead to human sacrifices, cat’s and dogs living together…mass hysteria!

 

[ÆMNE22A!C]

Finally. Even my parents where talking about this since I was born.

All hail Chechnya

 

[ÆMNE22A!C]

Chechnya:

 

[ÆMNE22A!C]

I wish that worked with the relation of my brain/thoughts hence stumbling vocal output of said thoughts.

Don't think so fast or speak slower than you think lmao

 

[ÆMNE22A!C]

Chechnya:

Awesome movie.

 

[E-Cat]

Too many notes.

 

[kanjobazooie]

They don't want people twerking in the streets.

[efyu_lemonardo]

Next they'll be banning certain key signatures, followed by certain musical intervals.
Before you know it, we'll be back to Gregorian Chanting!

How does one enforce this ban? Are metronomes going to be standard equipment for police?

 

[AJUMP23]

Russia's most famous song.....Banned

lol, why the hell would you say you understand that? banning types of music that don't align with a country's beliefs? I guess individual taste and fun means nothing when it might interfere with the state's agenda of returning to the dark ages.

Sign me up!

sure, but you're also getting signed up for another crusade. have you ever wanted to have fun in the sand? well here's your opportunity!
