    https://www.euronews.com/culture/2024/04/09/chechnya-reportedly-bans-music-that-is-too-fast-or-too-slow

    Chechnya has reportedly banned all music outside of 80 - 116 BPM – a restriction which will exclude countless songs and musical genres like pop, dance and electro music, which often exceed the 120 BPM mark.

    The Russian republic of Chechnya is said to have ruled that all music should "correspond to a tempo of 80 to 116 beats per minute (BPM)" - meaning a lot of modern western music would be banned from being played publicly in the conservative Islamic society.

    The new standard of music is relatively slow compared to a lot of modern-day pop music, as well as electro, rave, dubstep and techno music – which tends to be of a higher BPM. Most pop songs range from 100 to 130 BPM, a tempo commonly used to create catchy and danceable rhythm.

    The republic's leader Ramzan Kadyrov instructed culture minister Musa Dadayev to make Chechen music "conform to the Chechen mentality,"

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.
