note (en-ru)

Good morning. Was wondering why Тает лед becomes so hot these days?? (: I perceive the sarcasm which I like, I would appreciate some tips on how to appreciate.

Was watching the MTV, to be frank, I'd be so scared if I meet those guys when I travel alone in Russia or Ukraine... Lol

Good day!

you get the subtitles in Russian? Cooool!

Igor Yurchenkoadded a comment 8 years ago

What do you mean by тает лед, Qing? just the phrase? or is it a song or a band?

Xiaoqing Headded a comment 8 years ago

It is a song by the band Грибы which went viral. Even the Chinese social media is talking about it

Igor Yurchenkoadded a comment 8 years ago

OK, I totally missed it, so there's nothing I can help you with this time

Xiaoqing Headded a comment 8 years ago

Hehe no worries Igor. Have a lovely day!

Tatiana Gerasimenkoadded a comment 8 years ago

It's a kind of subculture I think. The image of "bad guys" as they see it, pretty weird texts and all that stuff. I wouln't be very much surprised with the fact some young Russian people listen to the trash like that. The parody is much better only because it implements irony. https://youtu.be/YiibDfTeu9k

Xiaoqing Headded a comment 8 years ago

Thanks for the cues, Tatiana! I seem to comprehend less and less what lies in the little heads of our younger generations - a phenomenon that seem to exist beyond borders... )) well, nice to listen to something non-classic just for a change sometimes!

Tatiana Gerasimenkoadded a comment 8 years ago

NP, Qing! I should admit I like some things from youth culture. Young people often have fresh view of the world around them and enthusiasm that is highly transfusive. But this example presents us a feeble attempt to show off. No cultural background. Low educational level.

Артемий Запеваловadded a comment 8 years ago

It's definitely a better example of Russian pop and hip-hop music, especially compared to the previous hit called Party maker. By the way, the commentators of the video also think it's strange. Maybe there were some mushrooms involved, who knows 😄
Anyway, I find the image of patsanchiki used quite funny. And I really liked the parody.

Marissa Zebaduaadded a comment 8 years ago

It does not sound that bad but I prefer the chorus rythm, Maksim. Is that hip-hop? I can recognize what genre is at the beginning.

Marissa Zebaduaadded a comment 8 years ago

No, that I understand a word...though.

H Zadded a comment 8 years ago

Marissa, Xiaoqing, the image of the band members in the music videos of theirs means nothing. It's just an image. They make original videos for their songs (at least at the moment) and the music/lyrics is quite nice. They are on the rise now in Russia. In this particular case, there is no connection between the video plot and the lyrics. It's a kind of Russian hip-hop of 90's, different from today's mainstream Russian music, that's why perhaps it is very popular now. And, of course, the music is nice, in my opinion. But I would recommend other music videos of theirs (not sure about subtitles): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0-yYhLgp_I // https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFBUh3hKKDg // https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8AIDvaaOVM

H Z thanks for having your perspective! I have to confess that I like listening to Грибы when I work out )) I lack the cultural background to judge it objectively, but i do find the melody enjoyable. Thanks for recommendation

Hi Артемий! Just finished my class today! I'm studying at Pushkin's Institute. ;) I need to practice more my spoken Russian though....

Igor Yurchenkoadded a comment 8 years ago

now you have all the opportunities for that, don't you?

Xiaoqing Headded a comment 8 years ago

@Igor I manage to get into B1 level (lower intermediate), it's great practice in class, however when it comes to real life, I still have difficulty understand the conversations @ Артемий I went to Peredelkhino this weekend, and attended a play at театр наций. Moscow has never failed to intrigue and surprise me so far. :) housing-wise, it's okay, as it's close to my class.

Xiaoqing Headded a comment 8 years ago

If you feel like meeting up for a drink, or showing me some unknown side of Moscow, feel free to drop me a line! +79265414366 . Cheers

Tatiana Gerasimenkoadded a comment 8 years ago

Qung, I feel like meeting up for a drink or so but unfortunately I am 9 time zones away from Moscow.((( Anyway I am considering to visit China in the summer....

Marissa Zebaduaadded a comment 8 years ago

Me, too. I am in but I am in Mexico. We should do a Lingo Live gathering one day. :-) At least, in a Middle place. :-) ♡♡♡♡ or come down, you guys. :-) ♡♡♡♡

Marissa Zebaduaadded a comment 8 years ago

also, I thought you were going to be in Moscow in the summer... not now. I am glad you are already there. Enjoy, Xiaoquing! :-)

Xiaoqing Headded a comment 8 years ago

@Tatiana, do let me know when you will be in Shanghai, I could show you around. Or wait for me in Kamchatka. Moscow is overwhelming me with warmth and hospitality, no one has ever warned me about that before :) maybe I'm just lucky. Everyday I see my Russian language grow, it is like a 'tree' that we have planted together. :) @ Marissa, Mexico is territory I'm yet to chart, and I believe it deserves a special "treatment", ideally I will not come here without mastering Spanish, if I manage to wait ! :) much love to all of you who have so kindly helped and encouraged xxx

MTV is one of my fav. As MTV quickly became a cultural phenomenon, and it helped to popularize music videos and the music industry.
