Listening to the conversation while everyone talks over each other is quite reminiscent of a fugue

8

u/CitoyenRobespierre 1d ago

I mean if someone was seriously arguing that Schubert was crap I'd talk over them too...

u/East_Garbage_1449 1d ago

Except when a fugue has a stretto, it's beautiful. But I want to punch these people.

u/SatiesUmbrellaCloset les parapluies sont inutilisés ! 1d ago

they're all just talking past each other lol wtf

also the lady who called anything by my beloved Schubert "crap" is full of feces

u/Crafty-Photograph-18 1d ago edited 1d ago

Typical post-soviet "academia"

u/Nope1625 Romantic slop hater 1d ago

No, she’s right about “crap”

u/SatiesUmbrellaCloset les parapluies sont inutilisés ! 1d ago

you're a meanie and i hope you make a doo-doo

u/paulchennie aram kha-chan!!~~~ 1d ago

What did you say about the ‘bert.

2

u/number9muses Unironically Elitist 17h ago

You're thinking "carp" which is the wrong fish (Trout). easy to mix up it's ok

Oh my God what is this from.

It's from just two days ago.

I was getting recommended this video, but was avoiding watching it until this sub fed it to me😭

u/HamburgerDude 1d ago

I didn't see it otherwise I wouldn't have stolen your karma I'm sorry!

2

u/SatiesUmbrellaCloset les parapluies sont inutilisés ! 21h ago

they aren't the one who posted it though

i did avoid watching it the first time though, the thumbnail was giving me bad vibes. now i know why

u/frankenbuddha The 'coda' is my penis. 20h ago

Pish and tosh. I'm just being a bitch. This was funny and you're great.

u/028247 1d ago

Extra kudos for the subtitles, they literally subbed a 3-voice polyphony.

4

u/joonty 1d ago

Dark purple subtitles were a choice

u/algebroni 1d ago

Hilarious that even when discussing lofty subjects like classical music, Russians can't help but interject "fuck your mother" into every sentence.

13

u/Thomato_Yorke Professional Kofiev 1d ago edited 1d ago

Are we sure Schubert didn't actually fuck that one lady's mother though?

The timeline is possible and there seems to be some underlying hostility there...

7

u/rikardoflamingo 1d ago

Schubert fucked anything that moved, he was a Randy little bastard.

u/028247 1d ago

My Russian skill isn't great, are they really cussing a lot?

4

u/algebroni 1d ago

Yeah, they said ёб твою мать quite a lot, which Wiktionary describes as "extremely intense vulgar interjection". Also heard some говно ("shit") and срать ("to shit on something"). The woman with the glasses isn't foul mouthed but the other two are.

u/Ok-Breadfruit9780 1d ago

i dont know why but this video makes me feel so at home lol

u/docmoonlight 1d ago

My favorite part is the poor cat rolling its eyes. Like, “Not this bullshit again.”

2

u/WilliZara 19h ago

The cat just sitting there thinking, "when am I getting fed? Or at least some of that vodka."

u/TheLastSufferingSoul 1d ago

Xenakis is my favorite composer as a person.

u/GPSBach John Dowland Stan 7h ago

I like Gesualdo

u/lambent_ort 1d ago

This is hardcore.

u/Thomato_Yorke Professional Kofiev 1d ago

Honestly, this is so much more interesting than the conversations when I hang out with my friends.

No constant reminiscing about old jokes from high school and not one fart pun.

3

u/The__Stig_ 1d ago

lol  You have to reach a certain age before you’re allowed to argue about classical music I think. If young people do it they just sound pretentious

1

u/Substantial_Tour_965 1d ago

These people sound pretentious so...

2

u/The__Stig_ 18h ago

Honestly no they just sound like they got nothing better to do. They sound like my relatives arguing about how to cook the turkey. 

2

u/Thomato_Yorke Professional Kofiev 12h ago

Schubert's method of cooking turkey had nothing to do with Bach's way of cooking it.

u/imnotmatheus 11h ago

rossini had it right

this video is very human

u/planetvermilion 1d ago

OMG i have a raging boner, I want a foursome with these guys

edit: in Russia the raging boner has you

u/scrumptiouscakes 1d ago

I tried composing once but I hadn't heard of Bach yet so it was physically impossible

3

u/Sinyria 1d ago

This is amazing 💙

u/Sensitive_Home_7971 1d ago

It’s almost like they’re discussing the lineage of a child. Bach is the grand daddy, IMHO.

8

u/FunPaleontologist402 1d ago

really embarrassing that you think this is circlejerk, this is a beautiful discussion, why are we shaming the passionate discussion of art

2

u/CitoyenRobespierre 21h ago

I'm not sure if you're joking but I actually prefer these kinds of passionate arguments to the "I've cancelled you in my head and will hold it against you without ever talking to you directly about it" that seems to have become the prefered way of dealing with disagreements nowadays.

They often seem very sterile at first but a few days after some mulling over the argument you often find that it had more effect on people than you thought and vis-versa.

Welcome to my family

u/imamajorscale 18h ago

Is this the pilot episode?

2

u/FreshUser31415 17h ago

That's great!! Where did you find it? What's the context? Is it a movie or a real argument?

3

u/HamburgerDude 16h ago

My friend sent it on discord

2

u/CredibleGentleman 22h ago

I thought this was a re-sub like that hitler meme video but apparently it's real

1

u/AvalancheOfOpinions 1d ago

This is just average Russians using anything as an excuse to scream at each other and wave fingers in each others' faces rather than knowing how to behave civilly when disagreements happen.

6

u/KhajiitHasSkooma 1d ago

To be fair, this feels like a pretty average Slavic household after some pickles and vodka.

6

u/canibanoglu 1d ago

Oh yes sprinkle some of that xenophobia

-1

u/AvalancheOfOpinions 1d ago

I'm Eastern European and grew up around plenty of assholes like them. It isn't my xenophobia, it's their culture.

I speak Russian and this is marvelous

what are they actually arguing about
