Taliban victory may inspire new Afghan music genre

The bittersweet farewell of America’s armed forces from her 53rd state may have soured Afghanistan’s hopes for the future. But it is precisely that sour taste that brings the soulful flavor to the music of those who hurt. The harmonization of agony and longing is precisely the fabric of the greatest playlists on YouTube. Think “1 Hour of 60’s Brazilian Doomer Music” on steroids!

Afghan exiles and those trapped in the new regime are sure to follow in the footsteps of sorrow and nostalgia in much the same way as artists like Elektronika-302, others like all those remixed war songs from Yugoslavia, and others still will go more the way of Chizh with more of a fast paced metal sound. The synthesis of a thousand dead nation’s nostalgic moans with Afghan instruments and traditional musical influences will surely make this unfortunate series of events into mainstays on my nighttime driving playlists.

Good bye, Afghanistan! You had an amazingly aesthetic run.

    Hello Erik Greenfield! My name is Yulia Yulia,k I have been a proud fan of Pilled News ever sense it was made.All of my 10 childern have been watching something Evaongayalien? I havent watched it. But from my understanding its show that promotes Christianity,which is great sense I am a member of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine. But however I just learned that one of the characters is a GERMAN! And I notice that one of authors of your website is a CATHOLIC! Is evaongaylien a show thats promote EU (new HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE! EVIL!) Christian democratic propaganda? However one of your reporters seems to be trigged by the show (he is probably a Russian),so it is actually based? Erik Greenfield you seem to be a centerist (I am one as well,I work for the centerist political party Svoboda), so what are your thoughts on the chinese cartoon?
