Chechnya Bans Music That Is Too Fast Or Too Slow

According to an announcement on its website, the Chechen Ministry of Culture banned all music with a tempo below 80 or above 116 beats per minute to “conform to the Chechen mentality and sense of rhythm,” thereby criminalizing many genres. What do you think?

“You’d think something called the Ministry of Culture would be a little more chill.”

Ken Agoh, Pinto Bean Farmer

“Now I really regret sending my demo to the Chechen Ministry of Culture.”
