Music too fast? To jail. Music too slow ... Believe it or not, straight to jail.

Cultural crackdowns, motivated by religion or nationalism, are terrible. (In Chechnya's case, it'll be religion and nationalism.)

That being said, this means they just created the genre of ILLEGAL BEATS, which sounds like absolute 🔥🔥🔥. Like, the illegal beats lineup at Chechella this year is going to be sick.

Imagine getting ticketed for playing your accordion over the speed limit

Officer noooo! I swear it was in 4/2 time with a tempo of 80 and not 4/4 with a tempo of 160! Don't take me away!!!

“Borrowing musical culture from other peoples is inadmissible,” Mr Dadayev reportedly said.

Then ban that?

I’m not saying the goal here is in any way acceptable, obviously, but mostly it weirds me out how indirect and ineffectual this method is. So much of the outside world’s musical culture makes it through this filter.

Time to make crack-core and snail-core mixes because crime is fun

Weird. That bans most marches too. 120 bpm isn't all that fast.

The Russian republic is said to have ruled that all music should "correspond to a tempo of 80 to 116 beats per minute (BPM)".

Its culture ministry made the announcement in a statement earlier this week, according to the Moscow Times.

"Borrowing musical culture from other peoples is inadmissible," Mr Dadayev reportedly said.

The ban was reportedly announced following a meeting between the republic's ministry and local and regional artists.

All western rave and techno music, which tends to be of a higher BPM, would be banned under the new rule.
