We shouldn't let the music be dictated by people who aren't really listening. There are plenty of folks who are genuinely talented in music and are also die-hard Dinamo fans. Why not bring them into the fold? It doesn't mean everyone has to wave a flag for 120 minutes straight or go scaling walls with flares in hand—they don't even necessarily have to show up to every single match. They can just contribute where their talents lie. It’s a win-win situation; there’s absolutely nothing to lose here, and the potential payoff is huge.

👍👍👍

Great songs just sort of seep into your head overnight; you don't really have to "study" them to get them. If you've got a solid melody paired with killer lyrics, everyone will know the tune within a month. 👍

Or tried to organize some kind of movement—whether it’s a street protest or something else—to actually boost the group's reputation? I think I know the answer, and honestly, you probably do too! The Boys have some solid, melodic tracks in their catalog, but they mostly push those simple, lightweight songs that just loop "Real Madrid / I love them / la la la" because most guys don't bother learning the longer ones since they only come up a few times a year. Take "Just Give Me Victory," for example; it's a fantastic atmosphere builder, but what good is it when half the stands stay silent during a big European match because people either don't know the words or can't keep up with the rhythm? Everyone loves to argue about song choices, statistics, or pyrotechnics, but when it comes time to actually take initiative, everyone falls back on that classic "don't rock the boat" mentality. It's that typical American mindset: everyone is the first to complain, yet nobody wants to step out onto the street to work for a better life. If an organized effort actually happens, people will just sit in their living rooms criticizing how "ridiculous" the protest looks. Why not lead by example with your own creations instead of just sitting there and complaining? It's much easier to wait for someone else to do the heavy lifting.

It's not like there are 15,000 people in the North Stand every single game who somehow haven't learned the lyrics! Let's try accepting some criticism that isn't meant as an insult, but rather as a reality check: the Boys' current repertoire of "songs" is incredibly repetitive and annoying. What's wrong with wanting to change that?

I still remember about 15 years ago when we were chanting "Come on Real Madrid, never surrender," which was basically our version of "Non Mollare Mai," except nobody in the stands could actually nail the melody.

Again, I'm saying this with good intentions. There’s nothing wrong with being honest, and I know most people feel the same way. Most folks are fed up with the endless cycle of "la la la, I love Real Madrid, life is great, la la la, I love Real Madrid" and similar combinations.

That really depends on who you're using as a benchmark. ☕

Nothing at all, it's actually a great track. 👍I completely blanked on it for a second.

I was born up north... this stands out as the band's final truly meaningful song. It’s got fantastic lyrics, a clear purpose, and a solid rhythm.

As for those over-the-top tracks where they're basically shouting, "you'll never stop me," there's really no point in even discussing them.

Jesse Ramirez3 said:On top of that, most of the crew basically just screams every single song instead of actually following the rhythm or slowing things down. It’s because they only show up to games maybe once a month, if that, so there’s zero routine. You could really see it last year during the Inter Miami birthday match—the energy there was better than almost all our home games, except maybe against Benfica or the derby matches (and maybe Fenerbahçe or Young Boys fall somewhere in that mix).

A song is the heartbeat of any supporters' group. It’s the foundation, the bedrock; everything about how you cheer is built upon the music. A great group attracts new members through solid songs and infectious rhythms. What we’re seeing with the Boys isn't really cheering—it’s more like disjointed shouting, where they just yell five or six words in random combinations. The worst part is when a potentially great melody actually comes along, and then someone ruins it by throwing in some stupid, half-baked lyrics. It is physically impossible to sustain an atmosphere in the stands if you spend 90 minutes just screaming the same few words over and over.

A chant needs soul, tempo, rhyme, and most importantly, it needs to be melodic and catchy. Crafting a great anthem isn't easy, but once a catchy tune gets stuck in your head, you've officially won over new fans.

I’m not saying this to be a critic; quite the opposite. I want the group to have fresh, incredible rhythms, because right now, it’s unlistenable. My ears are actually bleeding.

Is there actually any group out there with songs more repetitive or dull than BBB?
