90s was when it all went downhill, with shitty black rap.

still don't know what it's about. I think it's called a 'comrade song' and it's a south korean one. They're popular in NK and praise the regime.

Here's a more "traditional" Tam Lin, if anyone wants to hear a different version and setting of the story.
