Chechnya is banning music that's too fast or slow.

&gt; works will be limited to a tempo of 80 to 116 beats per minute (BPM)<p>so heavy metal is OK but speed metal and doom metal are OUT.

BPM is a matter of opinion unless it is printed on sheet music, just the same as key. I can declare the BPM to be half (for 4&#x2F;4) or twice what you think it is. This sounds unenforceable, and rightly too.

Finally someone is doing something for the slowed or sped up versions of masterpiece songs butchered on TikTok?

Basically, it&#x27;s a roundabout way to ban all music that isn&#x27;t traditional Lezginka style [0].<p>The Minister himself points that out [1].<p>While Chechnya is technically under Russian rule, in action it&#x27;s basically a suzerain dictatorship under the son of a former rebel leader who defected to the Russians, but was given massive leeway and autonomy. And this is clearly an additional de-Russification method.<p>Turkey uses it as a pressure point on Russia as well [2], as a large portion of Turkey&#x27;s population can trace their origins to refugees from the Russian Invasion of the Caucasus from the 1820s-1920s (eg. Erdogan&#x27;s family), and even the Russian government recognizes it. Most of the infra there was built by Turkish companies closely tied to Erdogan (eg. Akhamat Kadyrov Masjid, the clock tower skyscraper, etc).<p>Also, because there are a bunch of braindead Redditors on here, Chechens are NOT ethnic Russian<p>[0] - <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;m.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=1M9Q5zk1TRk" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;m.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=1M9Q5zk1TRk</a><p>[1] - <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;mk-chr.ru&#x2F;novosti&#x2F;soveshchanie-s-rukovoditelyami-tvorcheskikh-gosudarstvennykh-i-munitsipalnykh-kollektivov-chechensko&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;mk-chr.ru&#x2F;novosti&#x2F;soveshchanie-s-rukovoditelyami-tvo...</a><p>[2] - <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;jamestown.org&#x2F;program&#x2F;as-war-rages-in-ukraine-turkey-expanding-its-soft-power-in-north-caucasus&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;jamestown.org&#x2F;program&#x2F;as-war-rages-in-ukraine-turkey...</a>

This is just psychological abuse. Let’s call it what it is. People who think they have a right to control what people think or feel are mentally ill.

Better not hit fast-forward, it might land you in jail. What a bunch of fascist nonsense this is.

You under-cook chicken, believe it or not, jail. You overcook pork. Also jail.

Some of those tempos at the bottom seem way off. Hotel California is 147 bpm?

you mock, but someone much smarter than you or me had this to say:<p>&quot;Music directly imitates the passions or states of the soul...when one listens to music that imitates a certain passion, he becomes imbued with the same passion; and if over a long time he habitually listens to music that rouses ignoble passions, his whole character will be shaped to an ignoble form.&quot;

Nothing that some 160 bpm techno can&#x27;t fix.

That said, no published policy on master clock division.

I’m more interested in how they will enforce it.

&gt; &quot;Borrowing musical culture from other peoples is inadmissible,&quot; Dadayev said, per a translation by The Guardian.<p>I did not have &quot;Kadyrov takes a woke stand against cultural appropriation&quot; on my bingo card for 2024.

record at 180bpm, remaster to 90bpm, print record, play at double speed.

Chechnya has been under Russian occupation for years.

Chechnyan state needs to go bye bye already. It&#x27;s sickening what they did&#x2F;are doing to gay people (and plenty of other groups).

I never thought they’d reboot Footloose as a documentary, but here we are. Is Sacha Baron Cohen attached to the project?

Based Chechen. EQ matters. This is scientific. HN seethe. We need to monitor positive impacts from banning degen music. &#x2F;s. This is so disingenuous it doesn&#x27;t even ban ethnic metal music. Let&#x27;s ban all degen music but Metal is cool
