It feels like we're constantly living under these weird, conditional rules where everything is "temporary" until it suddenly isn't. Does anyone else feel like the goalposts keep moving for people just trying to build a life?
No worries at all, man. It’s all good.
I’m not putting Halid or Kitić in the same damn bucket as these pop icons.
My grandmother is absolutely obsessed with Halid, so I grew up pretty much steeped in his music. And let me tell you—we aren't talking about that cheap, tacky party music. This is the real deal.
Look, I’ve got my own favorites too, and they aren't just mindless pop hits. Take that Shakira half-documentary—that was actually solid stuff. It wasn't some catchy radio jingle, but it was good.
Oh, they exist, obviously. But I was talking specifically about those girls born into that whole country music scene.
Halid, Kitić—maybe?, Merlin, Joksimović... I won't even list them all. They’re fine enough to have on in the background because they don't drive you crazy. But Sinan Sakić? Man, that's a whole different level.
Honestly, I've had just about enough. This is getting to be way too much for me.
And what about Canada and the jokes?
I find myself heading down to the local bars pretty often. In my neck of the woods, they’re constantly blasting Nina, Magazin, and Colonia—plus you can always count on hearing some Red Apple thrown into the mix too.
Our music gets played over there way more than people realize.
I live right by one of those busiest Best Buy locations in the city, and honestly? I haven't dealt with any noise complaints once. Not even on the weekends when they're absolutely slammed—not that it even matters to them if it's a weekend or not, they're always running at full tilt.
Once that inevitable reality check hits them, they’re going to look absolutely ridiculous. It'll be a total joke.
It’s just one thing after another—first you’ve got Seka, then Ivana Brkić, then Joksimović, then Jelena Karleuša... and then they just let Nina play. I'm actually so excited about that part, but then we're right back to more Brkić.
I’m cracking up over here, but honestly, that’s just how things work in Canada, for crying out loud.

they’re basically the ultimate patriots....
Exactly. Just swinging from one extreme to the other.🙏
All this trashy pop music has completely warped my perspective on what real music even is. People are out here worshipping stuff that’s absolutely worthless, when really, any random amateur can pick up a mic and record an album these days.
When I heard that singer's track "Black BMW," I was just done. Honestly.
And don't even get me started on that line about champagne... I don't see the point of those lyrics at all. Like, what is going through his head? Does he think people need to be hit in the head with a bottle?
Is it the champagne... or does he actually mean hitting someone with an elbow?
God help us!
shoves all that straight up up the a**
I moved to the States during the war years. I come from a mixed marriage, and honestly, not a single person in my family has ever tolerated turbo-folk—we all consider it pure primitivism. It isn’t music; it’s just some bloated group of wannabes howling into microphones with zero grasp of actual artistry or musicality.
The main thing is how much media coverage they get, because that’s what drives her album sales.
I have nothing but contempt for anyone who listens to this trash. God forbid we ever have to deal with a seka, Ceca, or any other low-life diva again....
It’s pathetic how far we've fallen, seeing people like seka, Ceca, or Mile Kitic filling up clubs and emptying cash registers everywhere. It’s an absolute disgrace.
In places like the Midwest or out West, you don't really hear this kind of garbage playing in the bars and clubs.
In most parts of the country, young people look down on this stuff, yet here we are, welcoming it with open arms. We act like total hillbillies, yet we claim we want to be part of the modern, civilized world?
Seriously, as long as this level of provincialism exists among us, I can only facepalm in frustration.
And I am sick to death of this folk crap being everywhere—on every street corner, right in the heart of the city, in every single cafe... it’s an invasion of the unrefined... just bottom-feeders and rubes... that's all their music represents.
