[–]GentlemenQuinn 160 points161 points ago

It seems like everytime I see a gif or a picture that was taken/filmed in Russia everyone is wearing a track-suit.

[–]Epicwarren 117 points118 points ago

Adidas jumpsuit: Check

Bloc-style apartment complex: Check

Autumn-like weather: Check

The three components of seemingly every Russian youtube video. Alcohol optional NECESSARY.

[–]crackjoy 38 points39 points ago

The alcohol is never optional.

[–]Epicwarren 8 points9 points ago

Hmm, good point. Fixed appropriately.

[–]krokodil2000 2 points3 points ago

The other kind of Russian you tube video is from a dash cam filming traffic while something horrible happens.

[–]SlimThugga 113 points114 points ago

Tracksuit: the outfit of choice for the east-European douchebag.

[–]JarasM 54 points55 points ago

It really is. Also Gopniks in Russia, as well as Chavs in Britain.

Ok. I just have to say that this is not my kind of music at all. Too much profanity, etc... and so forth. But, this does make me happy. We are finally seeing popular music evolve beyond boring rock. This is very 21st century as it should be. Carry on you crazy scandawhovians.

[–]alsetmusic 1 point2 points ago

e: preferably Adidas.

[–]hyascopy 1 point2 points ago

Nico wears a track suit.

[–]aryst0krat 1 point2 points ago

This video is actually a parody; they're all wearing tracksuits on purpose because of the stereotype.

[–]da_man_made_of_bread 1 point2 points ago

track suits are to Russians as sombreros are to Mexicans

[–]Emaleeen1 1 point2 points ago

So they're only worn by musicians?

[–]ACaseForSobriety 2 points3 points ago

That, and there is never any grass. Is Russia just built on a gigantic field of dirt?

[–]vxx 164 points165 points ago

They are fucking awesome. The first time I saw the Video I couldn't stop laughing.

[–]mogifax 26 points27 points ago

It's staged -- it's an advertisement for a party hosted by a radio station. The theme of the party is "ironic gopniks", so those attending are supposed to dress up like Eastern European soccer hooligans. The subtitles are naming the participants' very respectable occupations and achievements, like PhD, accountant, etc.

An American version of this would be a bunch of yuppies dressing up like rednecks, wearing crooked teeth prosthetics, dancing to Garth Brooks, drinking moonshine, and blasting shotguns in the air.

[–]PenalAnticipation 7 points8 points ago

The video seems like one big viral ad for Adidas.

[–]KangarooLemonade 27 points28 points ago

Such is life in The Zone.

[–]droctopu5 17 points18 points ago

Moonwalk out of here, stalker.

[–]madtor 4 points5 points ago

http://www.radiorecord.ru/gopfm/ GOP FM - April Fools' is a special project of the first Russian dance radio station - Radio Record. The project is there only 1 night, but during that time gained a lot of fans, led the country into confusion, and blew up the Internet. April 1 at 00:00 Record studio was attacked by Gopnik, after which a Kolyan announced the closure of Record and the opening of his place in all cities GOP broadcast FM.

"We came up with a unique music format, have made a complete clearance of the new station, opened an interactive website, worked for the image of each leader, led a 24-hour video broadcast from the studio, fired general producer, etc. For two days we came up and did what they usually is on the radio for years. So go with the ether can afford only the Record "- said General Record producer Andrey Reznikov.

[–]NiBuch 1 point2 points ago

Thanks for this. I saw "DJ" among some of the words and was wondering if "GOP FM" wasn't a radio station that this video was trying to promote.

[–]sunbear0326 6 points7 points ago

I wonder why they all have black eyes

[–]marvelous_molester 15 points16 points ago

It seems to be a play on a certain cultural aspect of Russia. kind of like England's chav's you call them? the hooligans tend to get drunk, wear sweatpants, chains, pick fights and get arrested all the time. from the look of it, they were hamming up the look on purpose.

might be funny, but if you're ever in russia stay the fuck away from people that dress like this. seriously, don't even make eye contact, just run in a sewer and hide until daybreak or something.

[–]iammolotov 8 points9 points ago

If I'm in Russia, stay away from men wearing a shirt fully unbuttoned and a surgeon's mask at night? Gee thanks for the clever tip I surely would have been fucked otherwise.

[–]iruber1337 10 points11 points ago

I must know what song is playing! If anyone knows, it would be greatly appreciated.

[–]vxx 14 points15 points ago

It is in the headline.

-Hard bass in kryvbas-

I believe this is the version you want

Хард Басс - Это школа колбасы (HARD BASS)

[–]iruber1337 4 points5 points ago

Thanks but unfortunately this wasn't it...I was looking for the one with female vocals. Still though, I find this genre quite neat.

[–]iruber1337 8 points9 points ago

Internet high-five, you fucking rule!

[–]GarythaSnail 1 point2 points ago

The kicks and synths sounds kind of acidy or old school bouncy happy hardcore.

[–]ivegotamnesia 1 point2 points ago

YEAH! I actually thought hardcore too! in fact I thought the song most closely resembled old school hardcore. The tempo is just much slower so I didn't think to mention it. Tbh I'm really a bigger fan of hardcore than those mentioned above.

[–]Thissqid 2 points3 points ago

So their all famous Dj's? Kinda took away some of the hilarity but still funny video.

[–]Soggybottomgirl 88 points89 points ago

And yet it's still better dancing than I'll ever be able to do.

[–]trust_the_corps 63 points64 points ago

It's the best dancing I've ever seen. Black people will have to up their game.

[–]Crackerjacksurgeon 18 points19 points ago

[–]Infintinity 2 points3 points ago

Fuck. That is one of the most disgusting and amazing things I've ever seen.

[–]aidsnothiv 8 points9 points ago

That video deserves ALL the up votes.

[–]Artyomic 5 points6 points ago

That's a different country.

[–]PotentialApathy 20 points21 points ago

Exactly, that's why the Russian version of the Chernobyl Disaster Dougie is energetic and "happy". The Ukrainian version on the other hand...

[–]dianthe 23 points24 points ago

As a Russian I would say those parodies are pretty close to the kinds of people that really exist in Russia :P

[–]MrWhitewalls206 27 points28 points ago

I immigrated from Russia when I was 7. This is how I remember it.

[–]cactuscatcactus 3 points4 points ago

Well, most of Russia isn't this way. But the fact that they're hanging out in the dvor just fucking around actually makes it seem pretty authentic. Always crazy drunken tracksuit people, rarely children around those rusty playsets.

[–]Yeanucca 6 points7 points ago

It's actually an ad for a club, at the end it says dress code training clothes only :-) which is funny because you know, there has been a time where the coolest criminal guys in Russia were wearing Adidas and leather jackets. It is funny because now they are making fun of it and indirectly they raise awareness that this era of the 'гоп' is over. Russia wants to be classy. I like that.
