Controversial music

As I said, a bit of discussion is what we want here.

Not a big deal or an unreasonable request.
 
Apparently it's a thing. lol Aren't Argentinians largely Spanish immigrants? lol

I admired them once but their stylistic inertia annoys me - I think its much ado about nothing - same ol shite, riding on the wave of their popularity- I dont see the subversiveness -Just seems like internet wielding likes for people in a bubble (especially at this stage, its the same shit).
Maybe the cultural relativeness is apt, but in terms of global agendas they just appear to be juvenile pop-punk kiddos appealing to their fans.No substance, sell-out,boring pseudofeminist crap. :)

I haven't heard much of their recorded output, but i saw pussy riot perform live last year, and they were awesome.
They had a screen with videos and english translations, but after a few minutes i stopped focussing on that, and just listened to the music. It was really good - lots of sampled beats, with free-jazz sort of saxophone...but it was punk rock.
Was a pretty interesting experience, but i can't comment too much beyond that.
I do think that they're sort of fighting a political culture which is different to the battles of western feminism - but i don't know too much about them.
I think they're an interesting live band if you ever have the opportunity :)
 
Glad that you enjoyed it, for yourself. :)

Obviously, I would not have much interest attending a gig of theirs. I also don't consider them actual punk ( they did begin as a performance art piece and followed with Riot Girlz Ideology - they have a Punk image but it dodesnt run very deep imho) - Judging by their image, videos and music( lyrics) I would consider them more, edgy-pop.

I think most of their songs appear to be concerned with Putin and Russian corruption ( from a feminist/socialist/liberal perspective) not necessarily all feminist related issues of miscellaneous Eastern counteries, from what I can discern. Their ideologies and imagery seem to be primarily focused on Russian politics and some third-wave, feminist themes.

They have a Katy Perry-esque video denegrating Trump (which is cute, common liberal propaganda but I wouldn't call it Punk by any measure, its just neon, sultry and slightly angsty).

I did admire their 'balls' initially and their activism is noble but they haven't evolved unfortunately and appear to have taken on a superficial brand,with not much substance - seem to just parrot fairly trite juvenile rhetoric- - but they are cute and entertaining! :)

Black/folk metal from Saudi Arabia you ask?...



AlNamrood translates to "the non-believer" and comes from an ancient historical autocratic character. He ruled the world maliciously and stated "I am the God of all creation".

I love the balls these Middle East black metal bands have. It's one thing to be controversial in the U.S., but to produce music that could get you beheaded is a whole different level.
