          What is that? A band or a genre?

            DJ Screw, creator of the chopped and screwed style of music. But his name is so synonymous and his name is half the genre’s name.

    200 BPM is 100 BPM if you think about the music differently, Chechnyans just want to see 64th notes everywhere because more notes is more better obviously

      I gotta be honest, I’m thinking it’s fake news akin to “Kim Jong Un Haircut Law”. I can’t find any non-english sources about it. I can’t find the article TASS reportedly posted about it either. I can’t find Dadayev speaking about it anywhere but in these english articles.

      It should be noted that I am completely shit at doing this kind of digging and I do not speak any slavic language nor do I read kyrilic, so me not finding things doesn’t mean a lot

      edit: it’s legit

        It seems to be legit actually, I found this article by gazeta.ru, which Wikipedia classifies as Russian state-controlled media claiming the same thing. In the article is this quote:

        This was reported by the Grozny-Inform portal with reference to the Minister of Culture of Chechnya Musa Dadaev.

        If someone here actually speaks Russian feel free to correct me though.

          Grozny-Inform link

          First quotation:

          “Today, under the leadership of Musa Dadaev, an extended meeting was held with the leaders of creative state and municipal groups of the Chechen Republic, during which he 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,” said the Ministry of Culture of the Chechen Republic.

          I think this is going to apply to theaters, musicians, etc.

            So is this a flat ban or a “stop booking robot noises at the national theatre” ban?

              After the quote there’s “huge work is ongoing on the question of Chechen musical, choreographical and other works matching Chechen mentality and musical rhytm”, so it is probably the latter.

    How exactly do they plan on enforcing this…? Like, obviously, public performances like theater, yeah, music that can be heard by others, but what else if anything? Are they gonna ban useraudio.net and its likes? Force Spotify and YouTube Music to use some sort of BPM detector to find music to block?

      Every unit now has one drug-dog and one bpm-dj on leash. Some guy named Miklosh will be pulled out of his cage whenever they need to determine BPM.

Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:

  • To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).

  • To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.

  • To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.

We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.

Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:

The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.

  1. Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

  2. Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.

  3. Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.

  4. Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.

  5. Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.

  6. Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.

  7. American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.

  8. Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.

  9. AI Slop: Don’t post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.
