Context: 1. Song about the problem of domestic violence in Russia. Domestic violence is not a criminal offense under the laws of Russia. Society puts pressure on victims of violence, makes them guilty. An old saying in Russia: "If he hits you, then he loves you". 80% of victims of domestic violence who killed their abuser were convicted by the courts for exceeding the necessary defense conditions. 2. Russia is a patriarchal country. From childhood, the girls have been told that her place in the kitchen, she must successfully marry (catch a star) give birth to a child, and her career and aspirations do not matter. A wife should always obey and obey her husband, even if he is wrong. Because "it’s better for a strong family." 3. The song is called Plak-Plak. Something like a cry-cry. But the singer softens the ending and Pa-Pa (father) is heard.

[@krimikessa]

I'd like to add that in big cities like Moscow, st. Petersburg, and some other ones situation of acceptance of domestic violence and patriarchy is currently changing. Progressive part of our society discusses it and blames it and this song is a confirmation for that. I'm saying it so that people from other countries don't think that everyone in Russia is ok with it :)

The song is meant to be political activism or rather a comment, it’s about domestic violence in russia and the lack of laws protecting the victims, there literally is no law that would protect victims of domestic violence, it’s being pledged multiple times since 2014, but been rejected every time, I hope that provides some context

[@user-qi8ep8eu1l]

you are lier! domestic violence in Russia is a criminal offense! the only thing they have in a law that domestic violence is a violence like other one. comparison whit old law where domestic violence was a separate offense. for instance killing wife and killing mistress had considered as a different crimes

thanks for the reaction! ic3peak songs often cover important social and political topics in Russia that concern citizens. this is a kind of "protest". specifically in this song - the problem of domestic violence. Sometimes among Russians there are disputes about the meaning of one or another of their songs, so sometimes it’s difficult to understand :)

Ic3peak is probably one of the most punk bands ever. They're notorious for speaking up against the Russian government and getting arrested midway through their sets. They've had to resort to changing locations multiple times and only disclosing the final venue location last minute. Both Zillakami and Ghostemane feature on the album that this single is from.

[@cappertillar]

the genius lyrics are pretty inaccurate. the captions on the actual music video are the most true to the lyrics.

[@jennykhenven3058]

Why? I think genius lyrics more accurate

[@Keig0.mp4]

Jenny Khenven its not, like even at the "instead of a shooting star, Im shooting my handgun" in the music video the captions read "instead of a shooting star im wishing on a grenade" and you can hear her pronounce something in russian that sounds like grenado. Also they made their own captions for english viewers because they have made english songs in the past.

Наверное, многие не удивлены при виде девушек в шапках-ушанках. В обычной жизни у нас никто их не носит. Но носят на зоне, в тюрьмах. Намек на то, что за самозащиту от насильника ее посадили. А то моя подруга из Америки летом, насмотревшись на такое, по Москве гуляла, думала, что так точно за русскую сойдёт

[@invader9223]

Причины от того что жертвами насилия в основном становится мужчина- это то что женщины воспитываются в парадигме вседозволенности, эгоцентризма, и психической неуравновешенности. В подавляющем большинстве случаев, женщина выступает инициатором конфликта, и первая убивает. как пример поведения в таких конфликтах женщин kzbin.info/www/bejne/h3u6fJWtZbR6rZY А то что именно баба выставляется жертвой, так это от того что мальчикам с детства внушают что получить от девочки зашквар, и никто его не будет слушать, и не примут у него заявление а только посмеются над ним. Женщина наоборот, специально провоцирует, а как получает везде трубит что она жертва.

Their style? I call it "Ic3peak". They are unique and at home @ different styles. Nastyas voice is big part of the show, because it is very flexible. Between horror and beauty, she can do anything. This song is a bit more mainstream IMO. The March song reflects their current style best I think.

Hey, guys! Speaking of Russian bands, if you haven't yet heard about them, you might be interested in listening to Король и Шут (pronounced "Korol` i Shut, translates as "King and Jester"). They were a horror-punk band and have some pretty neat lyrics for the fans of folkloric horror with some sick twists at the end. Their sound differs in some albums, so some of them include folk-rock, art-punk, hardcore-punk, hard-rock and other. Also, there is this KZbin channel, called Even Blurry Videos, who makes English-language covers of some of their songs, the translated lyrics are very accurate, so, yeah. I suggest you check this band out, even if not for the channel, then just for yourselves. Keep on rockin' 🤘

[@Jofridful]

It is 'witch-house'- electro with hard drumm and some mystic sounds

[@f1hotrod527]

As a heavy metal fan, I love this. Why do heavy metal bands not have video game like groups like this?

[@GuaiEye]

No surprise that metalheads (of which I’d include myself) would be into IC3PEAK. It’s “heavy” metal because it deals in heavy, dark themes with a sound to match that emotional tone. Even with IC3PEAK having such a different sound, the resonances ring true. No kitsch. No b.s. Just a hard look at the pain and suffering we all experience and perpetrate.

[@shinsoowook872]

A child brought up in a family with the wrong attitude of parents to each other perceives this as the norm and violence becomes the norm for her, since she does not see another example. People literally "dance on the brains" suggesting that the girl needs to listen to her husband and endure violence, driving her into the framework of society. She lives by such an example, but at one point she has a breakdown and she kills her husband. Then, after a long time, she begins to regret what she did, but not by standard sadness, but another, one might say, “the sadness of a psychotic”. P.S. This is a translation of one of the comments under the clip. There are many theories about what other topics are being raised. For some reason, in Soviet countries, violence was always the norm and it was impossible to talk about it, you just had to endure it. Even I myself would not call my family “clean” at this point, so I'm glad that people began to talk about it. I hope in the future there will be much more healthy families with happy children :)
