When do they actually play music in school?

It looks like the girl is repulsed by both Muslims and people from the South...hehe

Man, you guys are lucky they even let you play music. In my school, there’s literally just one single CD player in one classroom, and even then, the administration won't let us touch it...
My buddy and I actually almost got detention just because we decided to blast some In Flames during our break...
Unbelievable...
😠

Stupidity Muslić 👎 I'll be honest, I’ve never really been a fan of Muslić, but we aren't talking about religion right now.

When it comes to music, I have a very firm stance on this, and I’m prepared to defend it: I really don't think that traditional folk styles with those specific Middle Eastern influences hold much water.

Honestly, I just can't stand anyone right now. When it comes to those artists I mentioned before—like Gibbon or Oliver—I don't really listen to them, though they aren't exactly the kind of music you'd want playing during school breaks either. For stuff like that, it’s much better to go with bands like the Red Hot Chili Peppers or similar groups that feel more "neutral." You can actually listen to them without it being a whole thing.

My friend and I actually got reprimanded just for playing some In Flames during our break...
I can't believe how ridiculous that is...
😠

It isn't really that great, though, if you ask me. Playing In Flames, haha... the teachers must have completely lost their minds, right?

Come on, kid, don't be ridiculous. You're still wet behind the ears.

The first day wasn't too bad—a few tracks by Red Hot Chili Peppers, Pink, Jennifer L. (already getting sick of that)... But then during the long break, they played Gibbon—wait, I can't change that—then Oliver... but honestly, it was just... ugh, you can't change it, but when they played those two Muslim songs... I totally lost my mind!!!! Some techno crap or whatever with some Arabic chanting in the background. It felt like I was in a mosque or something!!!
A total disaster!
And I'm thinking... a senior is playing this music? Is that what a high schooler is supposed to be? Are these the future leaders? Playing Muslim nonsense in a prestigious school?!!! Total disaster.
What kind of stuff do they play at your schools (for those of you still in high school), if they even play anything?

Ryan Ruiz 👎
it really shows in this post (and all your others) how much you're against any kind of hate or racism... 🙄 🙄 👎

As-salaam Alaikum Ryan Ruiz!

Ryan Ruiz said:Seriously though... a high schooler listening to that stuff? Is that really what we call a student at a top-tier prep school? Are these our future leaders? Blasting that nonsense in a prestigious academy?!!! It's a total disaster.

Facts. At this rate, we aren't getting anywhere with the EU, and we definitely won't be joining NATO either... 😁

What good is a prestigious school if its only real achievement is turning out racist brats like you?

Without question, this stands as the most intelligent response on this entire thread.👍 👍

I find myself in agreement with Jane National.

God, girl, you used to mean so much to me.

Broadcasting Islamic nonsense in a prestigious school is nothing short of a catastrophe.

Well...🙄 Long live artificial elitism. I honestly can't believe they had the audacity to let those foul Muslícs into one of those prestigious, high-end prep schools in Chicago. It actually reminds me of a certain political thread I saw earlier. 😉 Go ahead and see for yourself.

Use the correct terminology if you intend to label something as religious racism.

What are we all pretending to be experts on today? It seems people are once again acting self-important, especially when discussing the diverse religious demographics within the US. When you start pointing out those differences, people immediately jump to accusations of racism. I won't mince words or dance around the issue; if I'm going to address this, I’ll call it exactly what it is. Religious. Stop being such weaklings.

Playing tracks like those Islamic chants or even anything by Tomson is nothing short of primitive, regardless of how popular the hits might be.

Of course... if you truly believe that Islamic sounds are primitive, then your own post makes it abundantly clear who the actual primitive one is here. 🙄

I maintain a firm position on this: folk music with those specific cultural undertones simply isn't any good. I harbor no hatred toward anyone, but that is my stance.

Oh, please... you don't actually hate anyone; you just hide it behind a mask of indifference. Every so often, a sentiment like that slips through, even if you immediately try to backtrack. I suppose your "refined" Gothic ears simply can't stomach anything outside your narrow playlist, but honestly, who cares? Let's just tear that music apart then. Of course, it would be much simpler if this were merely a debate about musical taste—if it were, I probably wouldn't have bothered posting at all. There is clearly more at stake here than just melodies. Since you are so adamant that Islamic folk music is beneath contempt, I assume you have some actual evidence to back up such a claim. Go ahead, let us see it. 😉

Enough is enough.

Greetings...

Ryan Ruiz is way more sinister than any Olympic athlete😁

I mean, seriously, after everything that's gone down, people are actually gonna start hating on Muslims...
And Christians like you guys, obviously too

Ryan Ruiz said:Stupidity 👎 Muslić isn't really my cup of tea—I'll admit that—but we aren't talking about religion here.

I don't hate anyone.

So you just "don't like" them? It's not hatred, just a lack of affection. You're basically saying you dislike an entire massive group of people simply because they follow Islam. Look, if that's your vibe, just go to the USA and vote for Bush. He doesn't "hate" them either; he just doesn't like them, which is why he'll drop as many bombs as possible before his term is up.

Yeah... and that’s exactly why she has her own personal hell. She really does. It's partially my fault, too. You could call it my hamartia—this sense of guilt without actually being guilty. I love her and I hate her at the same time... but I wouldn't even be here if it weren't for her, for that flaw. It doesn't matter though... none of those words really change anything.
You guys can close this thread or just keep chatting about whatever you want... nothing else matters.

Ryan Ruiz said:Exactly... and that is precisely why she lives in her own personal hell. She truly does. She bears half the blame. One might call it my own version of hamartia—that sense of guilt without actual sin. I love her and I loathe her, yet I wouldn't exist if it weren't for her, for that flaw. It doesn't matter... none of it matters... neither these words nor any others.

🙄 🙄 I appreciate being given the green light regarding how we proceed with this thread. 🙏 🙏

And she signed off to the quiet sounds of Metallica 😁

P.S. This post actually has nothing to do with the main topic... it’s more about my own brand of "wickedness," which I’m pretty sure is just as intense as anything from the Kostelić family🙄..but it doesn't really matter.
Best,

They started playing that Punjabi MC track around here too. At first, we were just messing around, vibing to it like we were at some random backyard reggae jam. Now, they’ve moved on to playing those tinny, grating sounds that sound like some old lady blasting static from a cheap transistor radio. haha😁

p.s. I don't really do techno or anything like that.

Haha, man, I just love these disclaimers...

Ryan Ruiz said:What kind of music is actually playing in your schools (for those still in high school)?

It’s the same thing every single day. First, they play "Because the Night," then it's inevitably some generic country anthem 🙂, followed by Pink or whatever else is trending... it's just awful. Honestly, it makes me sick.

And to make matters worse, everyone gets totally into it... well, everyone except me. 🤮

Shouldn't this entire thread be moved over to the POLITICS section? 🙂

First they play "Because the Night," then it’s inevitably some country anthem like Garth Brooks 🙂, and then maybe they'll throw on some P!nk or whatever else fits that specific vibe... honestly, it's just awful. It makes me physically sick.

And what makes it even worse is how much everyone else seems to love it... naturally, I'm the only one who doesn't. 🤮

Yeah, well, a good amount of us don't get into it either, though we aren't the ones running the DJ booth.
