does north korea have music? i guess it's probably mostly korean folk music, but is there any sort of north korean pop music scene?
Only the #1 music sensation in all of world

Very Good music actually. Campy, Melodramatic and slightly eerie

There is absolutely none.
North Korean pop music is directly copied from the outdated Japanese and South Korean pop music and sounds like fucking Power Rangers.

Hunter Hunt Hendrix should hear this

>implying this isn't fucking amazing
>>63904262
holy shit this fucking rulez
>>63904206
All music allowed to play is that which praises the Great Leader.
>>63904206
They are actually big fans of yeezy.
>>63904339
Oh hell yeah this is fucking great
BEST KOREA
>>63904389
In other words Kanye.
Laibach toured in North Korea last year.
This thread is so relavent to my interests
Pic related is called "The Flower Girl", written by good ol' Kim Jong-Il, and is one of the country's 5 "revolutionary operas"
the tl;dr version is that it's basically about a litle girl whos mom dies but the whole thing is a really shallow allegory for how they percieved the Korean war to have happened.
Here are snippets of it being performed live

this is actually a pretty cool find, would love to see it myself. it does look pretty spectalucar
>>63905130
Their musicians are usually really talented, they just end up playing absolute garbage most of the time.
Probably something to do with it being their only escape from the fact that they live in North Korea though.
Yes, I'm from NK and we listen to industrial.

They've also had really specific exposure to American Pop music, it's really weird how selectively western culture is just kind of allowed to slip through as long as they put enough of their own spin on it
now i know what to look for, this stuff is amazing
Dude fuck all you edge lords acting like this music is anything more than part of a greater oppression.
>>63905694
american pop music is part of even greater capitalist oppression
>>63905745
this
>>63905694
Being interested in a thing doesn't mean you support it you stupid fuck, how is it "contributing to oppression" to analyze pieces of their culture? If anything, it points out their glaring flaws...
>>63905745
No it's not. Capitalism is the choice to turn off the radio and find the tunes you like on the Internet. The system is not responsible for Pop music, we are.
>>63905763
When did the fuck did I say that enjoying this is contributing to anything? It should just be viewed as nothing more than part of a greater evil.
>>63904262
>sounds like fucking Power Rangers.
You talking shit about Power Rangers, man?
>>63905878
>Capitalism is the choice to turn off the radio and find the tunes you like on the Internet
what in le fuck are you even trying to say m8
capitalism =/= freedom of consumption
>>63905331

all i could think abt
>>63905694
I'll listen to whatever I want and if you have any opposition you will be executed. Dishonorable faggot.
>>63904248
Reminded me of russian folk metal for some reason, liked it lol
>>63905694
I'm not an edgelord for liking the music, I'd say I'm more of an edgelord for buying two little DPRK flags from my visit to the UN :^)
>>63904339
what's kind of unsetting is that that place looks really "normal" despite being in an oppressive dictatorship
>>63904262
I love this
>>63905878
Well if you think people are listening to this music and going on their own arduous marches (>>63905966 except this fag) then you dont understand the point of this thread
>>63905924
>capitalism =/= freedom of consumption
Yeah, that's exactly what it is.
>>63906013
literally not true, but feel free to try and explain why you think that
>>63905998
I never said that either, but this is really serious thing. This is real evil in the world. There's nothing positive to take from this. That's the main problem with dickheads saying music is "interesting" instead of "good". Like, who the fuck are you to look at people and art through a looking glass?
>>63906087
>who the fuck are you to look at people and art through a looking glass?
Have you ever heard of sociology because I have news for you son
>>63906083
free market = you are free to consume
wtf anon?
>>63906118
if you have money yes
poor people aren't exactly free in capitalism
>>63906113
Sociology is arogant garbage created by bourgeois that have never really seen the world.
>>63905694
Thanks alot for derailing the thread, asshole
>>63906149
>I've dealt with the REEL WORLD so I can dismiss all academic abstractions on the topic at hand
absolutely ebin
>>63906131
Joblessness is bad for everybody in a free market, also all free markets have governments. Checks and balances buddy.
>>63906149
We already knew you were an idiot you didnt have to come out and say it
>>63906176
you can argue that for the effectiveness of capitalism as a whole but that still doesn't show that capitalism is the freedom to consume. that statement is still retarded.
>>63906131
Yes they are, they just have limited means.
It's not like they're banned from saying what they like, or trying to move up in life.

This video is so important to this topic
>>63905745
>>63906204
then they're only free in the sense that they can continue to live in the poor, unsatisfying conditions that they always have since 95% of the time they're fucked as far as making any movements up the socioeconomic ladder
>>63906175
Well yeah, that's how it works. Induction is anything but reliable, but the only thing we can ever understand is each other and if you want to do that you have to talk to and experience real people. Not that I've been to NK but everyone knows what's up there and it's simply nothing to make light of by scratching your beards up high at what is only a form of brainwashing.
>>63906252
Here's a tip friend, we're all living in the real world right this second! Your experiences arent any more valid because your parents didn't love you, or because you're shilling the STEM meme or whatever the fuck your endgame here is.
>>63906246
Where'd you get that statistic?
>>63906246
That's because 95% of them are incompetent.
>>63904262
Truly the best Korea.
>>63906292
allow me to rephrase it as "the majority of them" then, I would think it would be implied that that's what I meant and it should be obvious that that's the case considering the wealth inequality that inevitably occurs and is maintained in capitalist systems
>>63906294
I bet you unironically argue for social darwinism
>>63906290
that's the exact opposite of what he was arguing you retard
>>63906375
I replied to the wrong post fampai I meant to click >>63906175 but my imperialist pig fingers slipped please dont yell at me
>>63904262
Reminds me a bit of the USSR band Arsenal.
>>63906375
>>63906246
>everyone is entitled to a fulfilling, comfortable life just because
That's like wolves refusing to hunt deer because they thing there ought to be dead deer lying around for them to take.
>>63906252
Studies like sociology are meant to describe the greater picture of things to help understand why things happen and how to prevent them from happening in the future. While I agree that for immediate action it's generally not very useful, denying it's usefulness in the greater scheme of things is pretty dumb.
>>63906408
See above then fampai
>>63906438
Not necessarily entitled, but there's no reason for so much suffering to occur in the world solely so a small minority can have a fuckton of money, and that's exactly what capitalism caters to.
>>63906375
>I bet you unironically argue for social darwinism
as opposed to worshipping weakness, disease and perversion like a good leftist sjw? Yes of course, What are you gonna do, send me to the Gulag for thoughtcrime?
>>63906537
No, I'll just say you're either shitposting or retarded on an anonymous taiwanese knitting forum
