“Naiv” (30), “accident” (35), Noise MS (15): in November, artists who can be called conformists, or can also be celebrated by rebels

What is common between them? Well, at least the fact that all this is not a real uncompromising rock in the understanding of stubborn rockers in jackets and with a hair, but rather his pop version. Pop Punk, Kabaret, rap, mixed with pop melodia. None of them tears a shirt on his chest with a cry: “Now I will tell you the whole truth about this filthy world!”, But they are sometimes closer to the notorious truth than screamers.

Russian rock was born against the backdrop of confrontation between philharmonic and amateur, read: underground groups. He played an official concert - sold. He wrote a funny song without signs of a stalk - is everything all right with you? Do you have millions of fans? Yes, you are a hopeless pop!

In the nineties, the watershed went on a different feature: commercial-non-compliance. And in the zero and tenths, this completely ceased to matter. At a deviation from the norm, they earn no less than at normal. We live at such a time.

“Naiv”, “accident” and the NOS MS all their lives, since the beginning of its existence to this day, balanced on a thin line between the mainstream and the opposition. Everyone was surprised when the uncompromising protesting of the Dubna “Porn films” (they also had an anniversary recently) appeared in the program of Urgant. Cognitive dissonance, not otherwise. But nothing strange. This does not mean at all that they meek. It's just that everything is arranged so now. If you want to continue to play, make money. Do you want your non -conformist texts to hear, make efforts for PR. Of course, this is the logic of stagnation, sickening, painfully familiar-at least something good to drag on the scene. But we ourselves agreed that we have stagnation with the amendment to the capitalist realities.

Figi strategy in the pocket gives its results. It, in essence, is the result of a long path of Russian pop music, from the first bit groups to streaming services on the Internet.

Noise MS: atypical hiphop

It is generally accepted that Vanya Alekseev is a rapper, but if a rapper, then atypical. He himself said to me in 2011: "What I do myself, for the most part, this is a rock song with recitative." The genres were mixed, and this is also a compromise of a kind, at least the removal of past oppositions. Rock-Pesnya with recitivation is to the extreme poppy Arenbie, and “212-85-06” of Grebenshchikov or “Meloman” Kinchev.

Mass popularity came to Noise after a song about Mercedes S666, a car of the vice president of Lukoila. Then for the first time his name appeared in the political news and those who usually do not listen to Hiphop did not speak of him. And with the "Mercedes" everything ended in nothing. The court recognized Anatoly Barkov as innocent, and about Noisa began to say that he was promoted on a bloody drama.

He began with city and regional competitions in Belgorod, the path is strange, not rocker. Can you imagine the Led Zeppellin group participating in song competitions? The Beatles, however, participated.

In 2005-2006, NOOZ was conducted by the Schnickers Urbania street music festival, and he later had an advertising contract with Adidas. He participated in an advertising campaign, and this is for the Russian Ruker Westlo, but times, rocker ethics have already changed. Noisa comment:

“Yes, the protest cannot be paid. Yes, sincerity is not sold. But there are specific things that, in the end, should still be paid. It is necessary to organize concerts, it costs money. We need money to go on tour to another city. I need a good laptop to make demos on it. And most importantly. If the sponsor says: you don’t sing this thing, but this sponsor will immediately go to. ”

His first song, on the air of the Russian MTV, was frankly mocking, spitting in the face of pop formats and pop audience:

Song for the radio - here it is, ready!
Not a single bad word and chorus poppy.
And let them only try to find fault with me:
Like, this does not fit in the format of our station!
I have not touched a single forbidden topic in the text,
Did not contradict neither morality nor law:
You will ask why I went to the microphone in general?
Well, the rapper must read something on top of the muzon!

And the song criticizing the industry appears in the center of this industry on MTV.

As soon as the rap became hopelessly kid, Noise went into the shadow. The rap battles gained and gained popularity, and he, the star of the early frostyles, lost his interest so much that he allowed himself to lose, and not Oximirone, not purulent, but a certain ax. Water the opponent with the last words, humiliate him, his relatives and friends - no, he is too intelligent for this. Which did not prevent him from time to time from time to get into the wild Pankovsky scandals. It will show the ass at the Kubana festival (purely Pankovsky gesture). It will perform the antimilician song “Kuri Bamboo” (“ Citizen, stop-stop, in your pockets-a clap-clap, a knock-astock is a knock on the kidneys, and chicken bamboo, friend! ”) And he will fall into the monkey. It will devote the song “shave the star” to the cord. Or just get drunk so that the concert is not able to play. This is his style. And to arrange a fraud, crushing and win - no, refuses.

And one more detail. Our top rap is an extremely rare exceptions of people of right -wing views and beliefs. And Noise, although he refuses to consider herself politically engaged, clearly stands on the leftal, anti -fascist positions. This is and in general today is a rarity, but even more so in hiphop.

By the middle of the 10s, there was a complete feeling that his career on the decline, the best times passed. Yes, he signed up with a coin, composed Hiphoper "Orpheus and Eurydice", traveled with concerts to Lviv, annoying the radicals of both countries, but all this - on the periphery of public attention. Noise was remembered this summer when he arranged an anti -war performance at the invasion festival. Five artists (including a coin) then refused to go to Zavidovo from pacifist reasons. Noise went and sang "people with machine guns."

People with automatic machines are not just
Someone gave them to people with machine guns.
To protect me like this
To prevent terror and crime.

The satire is soft enough, but in the present time it sounded like an explosion. Nobody spoke out more bolder, of those who have a large audience, for sure. No, it is early to write off Noisa in the reserve, it will still come in handy.

The anniversary concert of Noize MC “XV” will be held on November 24 at the Megasport Sports Palace.

NAIV: rebellion as part of the profession

The leader of the "Naiva" Chacha Ivanov lives in Santa Barbara, a great place for punk. The first thought - fled from persecution in his homeland, but no - married an American and moved. Peppy, energetic, on the ocean - everything is fine with him. A successful punk-hospital is something unimaginable, like a living corpse, but Chacha plays this game for a long time and with pleasure.

Pop Punk is a whole direction, rebellion, but local, and not against the existing power and generally the order of things, but rather against parents. The main topics: beer, girls, motorcycles. And the problems are also at this level. And formally - punk, by music, image, energy. One of their albums was called - "Beer for Naiv." Program song from another album-"I am a punk-rooker and an alcoholic." The main hit is "when I stop blowing." And then brilliant prospects open up:

Everyone will say: how good he is, what a cutie,
How we could not notice, did not pay attention
He looks like Kirkorov, the same Cheburashka ...
Everyone will say: a guy at least where
Poet, no, more than a poet,
Even Shevchuk even ...
When I stop drinking
The people will understand that I am imputing.
Yeltsin's resignation then.
I am popular and unanimously choosing

We just have to stop drinking and blowing, but then we will have to do something, and we are punks, we are sown. Once, in the nineties, Chacha worked as a broker and trader to make money to record. And earned. So he is really quite imputed and capable of socialize outside music, but he is west.

There is a punk that is unpleasant to listen to, gloomy, malicious music, gnashing guitars, suicidal texts. This punk is not aired, concerts at this punk are held in dirty recreation centers on the outskirts. Not such a chacha. His group is eagerly twisting on the radio, she has funny, pretty clips.

In 2004, on New Year's Eve, they sang Valeria’s song “Watch”. It would seem where to roll on. But no, this is also a punk.

Chacha loves to send famous people (including politicians) to hell and generally behaves violently, he has no brakes. In a recent interview, Dudu willingly and in detail said that he was ashamed to act soberly, because the audience was waiting for a real fucker and lawlessness, and we must give it to her. That is, drunkenness - as part of the profession. And rebellion of the same row.

But the game does not exclude the presence of views. They are clearly opposition. So much so that Chacha himself announced this repeatedly that he was in opposition not only to power, but also to the opposition itself. Ideology is anarchist. A rare interview can do without social criticism. And on May 6, 2012, curious people could see him on that very march.

And then 2018 comes. Naiv releases an album, which can rightfully be called protest. The main track, “Heroes of our time,” - as if about the inauguration of the president. The text is: “ A brave leader leads us forward - the most! And he rides nearby, well, look, who is there?! - Zaldostanov. And who else saves us, barefoot and blue? Academician and laureate - Ramzan Kadyrov . " In the video: “Night Wolves” at the DNO station, where the emperor renounced the throne. The metaphor is simple and understandable - the bottom. Modeling, sarcasm, although not angry, but attack.

The problem is that about half of the audience of Chachi did not consider irony. Naive listeners decided that it was seriously - both the “brave leader” about the president, and Kadyrov, who “saves us”. Some even wrote in the comments that this is the Kremlin order. But this is the property of the pop-foam: rebel, leaving interpretation options. Squarely, fun, without frantic hatred. And what - have every right.

The Naiva anniversary concert will be held on November 4 in Moscow General Green Concert

"Accident": a cheerful group with a gloomy name

They managed that almost no one was able to combine in Russia: to combine a sharp social message and entertainment music. Classical Russian dilemma - either criticize the authorities, or entertain the audience. And then everything seems to be seriously, about how hard it is for us to live here and what we, to put it mildly, are imperfect people ( ““ people who have fallen up with fraternal love applauds the fraternal war ” ), but you can dance, or rather, you can’t dance.

In 1983, two students of Moscow State University-Alexey Kortnev and Valdis Pelsh created in 1983. And at first it was quite a student venture. They played funny songs, participated in the performances of the student theater. The repertoire is rock and rolls, waltzes, tango, quite traditional music, clockwork and incendiary. One of the main radiochites is Radio: “This is not England, this is Russia, do you see wounds in the asphalt? If the Fatherland did not ask you, why did you climb into the trenches? ” And chorus:

“I can't listen
Radio, radio, radio, radio,
Radio, radio, radio, radio, O-O ”.

All this to this day is spinning radio stations. Here you can argue and argue for a long time who has fucked whom: the Cortnev system, adapting him to his needs, or Kortnev, adapting it to his own, but most importantly in another - he was inflicted and he reached his goal. A typical case for him. We can say unhappy, but actually happy.

Many people have songs with a social message, but most of them write rather strained. Say, now I will ask for. Kortnev is almost the only one who comes out easily, like breathing. Solid hits.

“Zoology” - a hit: “ We are used to at the sight of the cops to make hands at the seams, suddenly they decide to disdain us? We are used to looking from the windows in the morning for a long time - suddenly they again repainted the banner? "

“Patriot” is a hit: “ If a jamb happened somewhere, the enemy is to blame exclusively. From the State Department of sabotage is waiting, Patriot, Patriot . ”

“Sasha was walking along the highway” - a hit: “ Sasha walked along the highway with the order from relatives, with sorrows for all, still alive. She walked to the priest-a tsar, to the boyars in the White House, staring at the dawn, already almost running . ”

And, finally, the popularly popular “Elections, Elections” performed by Shnurov, a swearing song from the film “Elections Day”, we remember it whenever we have to choose, but no one from. The sad truth, as Maxim Semelik writes in the biography of the Leningrad group, is that it was not written by the cord, but the author, much softer - Kortnev.

He is called a person of a compromise, and he himself does not refuse this definition. “We compromise,” Kortnev said in an interview with Novaya. And then - about his corporate parties in Gazprom, about participation in the election campaigns, about how already in new times he learned for Medvedev his favorite song. But it was another. And the help of Bolotnaya prisoners, and the anti -war set at the “invasion”, and Nemtsov’s funeral, on which they carried a poster with a line from his song: “I am awesome, mother.”

Of course, one could go to the principle, abandon any contacts with power and business, go underground and from there to broadcast the truth to the world. But, firstly, this contradicts the very essence of Kortnev, he is an actor, a musician, his work and calling-to entertain the audience, and not sit underground. And secondly, who would then hear all these songs, except for close friends? And would the group “accident” have survived to the present day? For these 35 years, many, almost everything, but not everyone had to do what to sing and say, and not everyone retained themselves. And the "accident" - here it is, as new.

On November 25, in Moscow Crocus City Hall, the NS will present the anniversary program “What we mean”.
