Authorities in the Russian Republic of Chechnya have announced a ban on music that they consider too fast or slow.
Music too fast? Straight to jail.
Music too slow? Believe it or not, straight to jail.
80 to 116 BPM. I actually chuckled audibly that the BPM was specified, I assumed it would be extremely vague.
This is memeable, yes; but usually when news like this starts coming out a nation shit’s definitely gone sideways for it.
It just feels like a conservative one party government trying to fill in time before the next election with busy work.
Nothing pleases social conservatives more than cracking down on that weird music their kids listen to.
BPM between 80 and
130116 are allowed. Their own national anthem is almost criminally low!almost
Probably how they decided to draw the line
