OKAY SO some background on this - this was made during a period of my life when I was working for a well-known megacorp. As many people with tons of friends who get laid a lot do, I'd spend my after-work evenings playing This War of Mine, watching documentaries, unironically listening to Turbofolk, and reading wikipedia articles on Yugoslavia, particularly Yugoslav Wars that, despite being one of the bloodier and more atrocious conflicts of modern history, had been bizarrely forgotten, as if they were a part of some obscure fictional lore. I've decided to one-up this vibe of collective memory hole by compiling circa 90es yugo footage that carefully avoided any mention of conflict. The outcome was akin to memories of somebody who'd go to extreme (almost comical) lengths to deny, ignore, forget, and avoid a literal race war. I'm glad this spun off into a bunch of microgenres like yugowave, communistwave and so on. Goes to show that everyone had taken something of their own from this, and it makes me happy. Shame I can't watch them, because I've heard alpine ice like a trillion times making this. For the love of God, please use some other track. Rock on.

@@VIRTUALESENCE turbofolk have origins in turkish music, same as most things in serbia and bosnia. turbofolk isnt even a music, its a garbage and shame for music. but for average men who lived in serbia and bosnia its common music. turbofolk wasnt "yugo music". you can google it and see what music was in that era. also i didnt get where you have been 1994. but i think it is bosna&hercegovina in this video. yugoslavia since 1992. was name for serbia and montenegro, not others. and you will offend bosnians or croats if call their countries "yugoslavia" because yugo army = serbian army commited awful crimes in 1991.-1995.. im croat and we won war at the end , kicking serbian ass hard, but casualties were big and still many people have "scars" since that period and when they hear "yugo" word. at the begging you have one part when radovan karadzic shows sarajevo to someone. pls google that monster and find out who he is, if dont know. cheers.

Kind of ironic. One of the first videos was actually Radovan Karadžić, one of the main figures that triggered the war in Bosnia and the war crimes against non-Serb population of Bosnia. In that video he was telling a Russian athlete how Sarajevo is 'Serbian' and literally revealing his plans for a war to him.
