+====== Serbian Turbo-Folk ======
+<div subtitle>
+{{tag>music}}
+</div>
+**Turbo-Folk** is a genre of music that originated in the Balkans. I'm not sure exactly when and where, but I'd guess in [[lb:Yugoslavia]]. <dfn>[[lb:Serbia|Serbian]] Turbo-Folk</dfn> is the Serbian version of the genre, though this article is mostly concerned with <dfn>Yugoslav-era Serbian Turbo-Folk</dfn> which, as the term implies, was Turbo-Folk from the [[lb:Yugoslav Wars]].
+<div passage>
+This music is interesting to listen to for a variety of reasons. Many [[lb:the west|Westerners]] are not used to music that is very...//patriotic//, //nationalistic// and so on...
+I'd also describe it as music that gets close to sounding like condensed insanity in musical form.
+</div>
+<div passage>
+So yeah, it should probably be mentioned that Serbian Turbo-Folk (especially the more blatantly nationalistic songs) are very //patriotic//.
+Though it should be noted that not //all// Serbian Turbo-Folk is nationalist/propagandistic. That's just what this article is focusing on.
+</div>
+The music here (that I'm focusing on) mostly has Serbian themes. Serbia is the best, “Bosnia sucks” and war crimes are not bad, actually. That last one varies, but the most well-known Turbo-Folk song is “Serbia Strong” which was performed by war criminals about how Serbia is the best. The Serbs also apparently make fun of how they're stereotyped as being war criminals (hence “My Dad is a War Criminal”).
