When our turn comes, we will make no excuses for the terrible music
Oh fuck no, the old people in the Soviet Union were absolutely right to hate rock and roll and blue jeans. Shit is corrosive towards the soul.

no that’s silly. Rock and roll is literally just a way of structuring the beat of a song. It makes just as much sense to say doo wop is corrosive towards the soul
It is quite interesting the way this policy developed as intitially the east german state wanted to have everyone have a stable job, hobbies etc but found that while a lot of people could be helped with that a subsection of society basically don’t want that they want to drink and fight and play loud music
Hardcore? To the mega? Anodic dance music? Just help me solve this murder, dammit!
