the_TIGEEER@reddit
It's crazy I was googling them yestwrday when I made the comment and they made a new song a year ago. And it has 120k views and 0 comments haha. I'm pretty sure one of the >>men<< in the video is the kid.
SnakeX2S2@reddit
Lmao I found the song and I can’t figure out which one could it be

enilix@reddit
I like them a lot, I went to their concert once and it was super fun!
Deli_Pjetra@reddit
As an Albanian it’s one of the ex-Yugo bands I like the most, together with Sars and Bs, however their best time is behind them.
Glittery_Marshmallow@reddit
Are you from Macedonia?
Deli_Pjetra@reddit
No, from Albania
Glittery_Marshmallow@reddit
And you understand Serbo-Croatian and listen to ex-yu music?
Deli_Pjetra@reddit
No, I don’t understand Serbo-Croatian, I know some words and expressions but overall I don’t understand it. It’s easy however to find translations of the songs in English.
I sometimes put on youtube or spotify one song and they continue by themselves, If I like I keep it and search about it, if not I just hit next.

An average band that bases its success on bad humor and stereotypes about Bosnia and the Balkans. Already seen in ex-Yu areas. Surprisingly popular and active in countries where Serbian, Croatian, Bosnian, etc. are not spoken.
the_TIGEEER@reddit
What are some good quality bands and music in your opninon then?
RushDry9343@reddit
Pretty much anything but a corny mix of ska and pop music with a touch of folk and bad humor from “Top lista nadrealista”. If you like punk, many world class bands come from the ex Yu area. Debeli precednik and Kriva Istina from Croatia, Doghouse, Tea Break, Sixpack from Serbia. If you like hardcore, there is Deafness By Noise from Croatia, Neven from Serbia, Primitive Dread from Macedonia. The Slovenian deathcore band Within Destruction plays in the USA, in Japan... All of them are world-class bands. These Bosnians are not.

Legends that peaked in 2010, 5 do 12 is an amazing album. Since then they are basically a fun legacy act that are great to see live but are not musically really relevant anymore. Nothing wrong with that.
Kafanska@reddit
Yep.. they had no evolution after cca 2010. They found the vibe that sells and are sticking to it.
CoercedCoexistence22@reddit
Apsurdistan is great too
kallen-kozuki@reddit
They're like Madness but Balkan
belchhuggins@reddit
cringe. they try too hard for everyone to like them.
cyclopsontrampoline@reddit
No, they're not cringe. Their audience is cringe. They just making money on them.
One of the worst things in music that happened in states of former Yugoslavia.

cyclopsontrampoline@reddit
There are many good bands but from BiH the first thing that came on my mind is Zoster.
AnteChrist76@reddit
The lack of self awareness lol
the_TIGEEER@reddit
And how do they do that? Or is it just you being annoyed by them being a popular band that the public likes?
Cheydinhal-Sanctuary@reddit
Marry me pls
Wonderful_CG@reddit
I love it
Natural_Ad_5879@reddit
They reached international fame which is unforgivable in the Balkans. We want to drag everyone down into mud with us

xesnoteleks@reddit
They're fun but a bit too cliché. Kind of pretentious in their "holier than thou" approach to the rampant nationalism problem in the Balkans.
the_TIGEEER@reddit
Wdym their lyrics talk exactly about the over nationalistic balkan problem
Ok_Win8049@reddit
Pretty decent overall, tho they can be a bit of a weed bro's go-to-band. Their peak was arguably between 2007 and 2014.
the_TIGEEER@reddit
Yes when I was a weed bro I enjoyed them the most XD.
HeadbAngry@reddit
Best thing to come out of the Balkans since burek.
WiseManPioter@reddit
Amazing concert ar Woodstock festiwal in Poland 😁

Thanks.
Powerful_Wait287@reddit
I like Nervozni Postar more.
jebiga_au@reddit
Their music can be a hit and miss at times, but I do have my favourites. I like the fact that they can incorporate humour around genuine issues in Bosnia.
name2sayMKD@reddit
Мхмхмхх, they know how to sell balkanism🤣🤣🤣
Yakusaka@reddit
Fun but repetative. Everythimg sounds the same
No-Efficiency250@reddit
Great band, lots of fun with a satirical view of politics and the world in general. Combining reggae/ska with folk music, plus a bit of rock thrown in for good measure. Very energetic to watch live, or at least they used to be. They've been around for a while so maybe not so energetic now. If you've never heard them, they're definitely worth a listen.
digidigi-digidi@reddit
Meh
Same-Alfalfa-18@reddit
all songs sound the same
Ribbon7@reddit
Top bend, amazing music, very popular in Croatia!
Cheydinhal-Sanctuary@reddit
Cringy neoliberal fortunate sons whose families were the red bourgeoisie in Yugo days, like most of the “open-minded and modern” artists from former Yugoslavia
SneakyInfiltrator@reddit
I've been listening to them since 2011-ish, love them.

adnanmehic@reddit
Dubioza are the best honestly, they combine Balkan, Western Music with a lot of humour, resent political or controverse topics and all together their music is really nice :D
Stverghame@reddit
Not my thing
Ok_Positive_9687@reddit
Loved them as a kid, might listen them on my way back from work today
Plastic_Shop6274@reddit
Never get the hype around these guys 🤷♂️
BentudeSoli@reddit
great guys, good music!
Unable-Stay-6478@reddit
They cool.
EdoValhalla77@reddit
My wife used to love that band. Was with her on few of concerts both in Scandinavia and Balkan. Still like them since i am fan of similar style Norwegian band Kaizers Orchestra. But wife cant stand them anymore as she says boring milking of same stuff and a lot of BS with them promoting dead cause of yugoslav unity, forcing we are all the same, and we are all equally wrong for war in 90s, but specially she don’t love them going from bosnian band to more yugo band.
NoHawk668@reddit
They can make a show.

Good muzik, original style, no longer super relevant but really....still good
Swimming_Cabinet9929@reddit
Good music, one of the few bands that can connect most of the Balkans together.
AmelKralj@reddit
I think they are fun
