Music as mind control?
The dictator-controlled autonomous region of Chechnya has banned any music that is slower than 80 beats per minute or more than 116 beats per minute, as well as music that does not “conform to the Chechen mentality and sense of rhythm.” The state, in its seemingly infinite wisdom, has given artists until June 1 to rewrite any nonconforming sound. The average tempo of 2020’s bestselling pop songs, for comparison, was 122 beats per minute.
