What Husky and other performers are singing about who are not allowed to perform

Concert cancellations follow one after another. In Krasnodar and Volgograd, Husky, in the Nizhny Jah Khalib, Hanvest, Monetochka, Matrang, Elja, in Kazan IC3PEAK, in Tver Yegor Creed. There are already complaints to Oximiron and Noyza MC. But even if suddenly the prosecutor’s office and deputies are right, suspecting these performers in extremism, moral decoration and propaganda of cannibalism, it is difficult to believe that their work consists entirely of vices, and there is nothing more there. The teenagers are sitting on the brink: "Boring ... I wanted to listen to something cannibalism, let's listen to the Husky!" Can you believe this? I don't.

Rap hunting and other youth music began in October, immediately after the tragedies in Kerch and Arkhangelsk. Concerts and even entire tour tours were canceled before, but this was often explained by political reasons. Makarevich flew off due to his statements on the Ukrainian topic. For the same reason, the same thing happened to Noise. The Barto group had problems, which was offended by law enforcement agencies because of a specific song. There were races on protesting pinks from "Porn films". But you can’t explain the collision with Husky or Creed with all the desire, she clearly has nothing to do with it: Husky supports Donbass, Creed sang with Kobzon. Creed really had problems with the organs, but a non -political nature. This summer, they and Timati gave a concert in the center of Moscow from the roof of the jeep (almost like Husky in Krasnodar) and fell into a fine of 20 thousand. So Timati advertised his new beauty salon.

Everything changed in October. After Arkhangelsk and Kerch, the authorities were seriously scared.

It became clear that something was happening with youth-not what I would like.

They listen to the wrong music, they read the wrong books, smoke the wrong drugs, go to the wrong rallies and communicate not with those people.

And after that they go and explode. But instead of understanding, we decided to follow the path of prohibitions, it is easier. And they covered, as is customary in us, public opinion: worried parents, believers, pensioners and other offended citizens. In Soviet times, this was called "at the request of the workers", only now instead of the workers, believers.

Meanwhile, if you carefully listen to the canceled performers, and not to pull out only the mat and the mention of drugs from the songs, it will become clearer that it excites the audience 16–24, what it lives and what to expect from it.

Husky

It is rightfully considered one of the strongest poets of the generation. I remember with what admiration his director Roma Liberov quoted me, far from a teenager, a man who shot films about Mandelstam and Brodsky: “Focusing as a suicide, I stagger around the city, wanting to copulate ... a panel belly is stuffed! Panel sky of the edge! I am traveling around Russia; I will not get to the end, where is the panel of my father? " The image is hellish, as if from the film "Cargo-200". But the recognition is complete. The young man from Penza, Saratov, Chelyabinsk, Omsk, having listened to this, will say: "Yes, so I live." And the main desire is to break out of this hell.

The absurd accusation of Husky in cannibalism implied a line: “ Do you remember, you died, and we ate your meat that smelled like a mummy forgotten in a mausoleum .” It sounds unpleasant, but Baudelaire about the decomposed corpse of a horse on the road is no less unpleasant, and these are poems, and great ones. Where is the call - to judge the prosecutor's office. But interesting: if you are called to cannibalism, will you go out and gobble up a passerby? And if they do not call, will not gobble up? Then the prosecutor's office is right.

When the Husky was closed for 12 days, on Facebook they immediately remembered the friendship with Motorola, and concerts in Donetsk. Say, a falcon jumped, and rightly. But Husky pressed not at all for his political position. And whatever it may be

This lawlessness does not justify. Otherwise, it turns out that “good” cannot be poisoned, but “bad” can be.

Yes, he is a person with beliefs unpleasant for some, but any beliefs have one plus: they are at least. It only seems that the confrontation that is now taking place in society is between supporters of some ideas and other, directly opposite. No, it is between people with principles - any - and without. Those who are without, we are unpleasant everything, in a blade, not analysis: right and left, liberals and patriots.

Monetka

Moscow lawyer Sergei Afanasyev incriminates her lines:

Listen to my advice in mp3 format:
"Do not wait until you grow old, die soon!"

And on this basis it requires a prosecutor's audit. In his opinion, these lines can provoke suicide. Now let's see the context. “Impressive” calls on to die in the song, which “I knocked out in vain. He from this actually died, apparently, according to the Covete from the YouTube video. ” And further: "Satan sings this song in the soul." The vigilant lawyer was mistaken, the opposite is true: the song that suicide is from the evil one, the evil one calls for him.

And the coin calls for a completely different one: "Search for happiness where even the icons of terrible five -story buildings cry." The will to resist this generation is powerful. But not in the political sense. It is about the resistance of all that dull, vile, miserable and joyless, which consists of the life of the Russian province. I don’t want to vegetate. And if a young man brings into politics, then just for these reasons: it is painful and it is pointless and it is pointless here.

IC3PEAK

It is more complicated with the IC3PEAK electronic group, which was driven from the club to the club in Kazan, and in the end they thwarted the concert under the pretext of a call about an explosive device. This is one of our few successful export groups - they are touring from Brazil to Germany. They have many songs in English, but there is a Russian -speaking “death no longer” and a megapopular clip for it. Five million views. Think about this figure. Five million people feel about the same thing that the group sings about. And she sings about this:

I go out into the street to iron a cat
And he is moving a car of the cop.
I'm walking around the city in a black hoodie,
It’s usually cold, evil people.
Nothing is waiting ahead of me
But I'm waiting for you, you will find me ...

And Chorus: “ All of Russia is looking at me. Let everything burn, let everything burn ... "

Of course, IC3PEAK can also be prohibited. Sew a call for something, block concerts, survive from the country (and they have where to go, they love them in the West). But after all, the feeling of drive and despair in people will not disappear from this. It was not invented by pop groups, it really exists. And despair is such that otherwise than the words “nothing awaits me” and “let everything burn,” and not to express.

As for the rest of the performers, then yes, there is a mat (a generation marker: if you do not swear every few words, then you are thirty), and teenage sex and drugs. As in the songs "Beatles" and "Rolling Stones". We can say that this is propaganda (but then you will have to prove), but it is possible - that the alarm. Or just a reflection of life. Bad or good, but she is them.

Remember yourself at the age of fifteen. Who could forbid you to think about sex? Would you listen to this person?

What is happening today with pop music is exhaustively described by a quote from Dovlatov with the adjustment and era: “I was not a rebellious author. He was not interested in politics. He did not allow excessive eroticism in his scriptures. He did not affect the Jewish problem. It seemed to me that I am writing the history of the human heart. And all. I wrote about the suffering of the young Vokhrov, whom he knew well. About the criminal camp. About the drunk bottoms of the big city. About small farmers and literary bohemia ...

I was not an anti -Soviet writer, and yet they did not publish me. I thought everything - why? And finally, I understood. What I am writing about does not exist. That is, in life it, of course, is available. But in the literature it does not exist. The authorities pretend that this life is not. ”

So we have it. There are problems, but let's pretend that they are not. And not only problems are people. Look at the numbers of views: 500 thousand, a million, two million ... Of course, you can pretend that they are not there either, but once they will remind of themselves.
