So really just free reign to ban any music they want then? Or are the police going to walk around with metronomes to check the bpm of random songs? Lol

Arbitrary law is arbitrary.

This sucks. I'm not even allowed to play my tiny violin!

Just play faster, but not TOO fast.

I didn’t realise that self-proclaimed badass Kadyrov looks like a stereotypical Walmart fat ass 😂

There are videos where professional MMA fighters let him and his son beat them up.
Hilarious shit if you overlook the torture and other human rights violations this traitorous pos loves to do.

You playing music too fast? Believe it or not jail.

Playing too slow? Jail. Under-BPM, over-BPM.

We have the best musicians in the world... because of jail.

I'm not sure this actually does what he wants it to do. Im assuming, he wants to hear only cultural music but...

I mean at 110 bpm they still get Wannabe by the Spice Girls and Dr Feelgood by Motley Crew, I'm a Slave 4 U by Britney, some Public Enemy and Daft Punk, and I'm Coming Out by Diana Ross.

At 80, they still get Gangstas Paradise by Coolio, some Matchbox 20, Radiohead, Judas Priest, and TLC...and Doin Time by Sublime, which is appropriate, I guess.

It's not like all pop music has one tempo...

Coolio, the traditional Chechen artist

No! Not the disco!!! Not like that!

[-] RobotToaster@mander.xyz 3 points 11 months ago

They're going to make a panic at the disco

LOL. Just sell slowed down music there then, to be exactly 116 per minute. Then people will create apps that will use API to make music play faster depending on title. Futile efforts that will only affect publicly played music which nobody listens

Nice! All my G-Funk and Drill shit still in

[-] metaStatic@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

it's not music, it's sound art
