Sounds so outlandish, but then this comes to mind how the UK tried to ban raves: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criminal_Justice_and_Public_... > Sections 63, 64 & 65 of the Act targeted electronic dance music played at raves.

They just can't help them selves with the backronyms can they?! Politicians and the US military must spend a significant proportion of their time coming up with clever names.

Clever names seem like a waste of time but it’s one of the best things you can do if you want an idea to spread

Have you got a source for that interpretation? The announcement this article references does not support it.

This seemed so obviously fake that I went and checked the primary sources: https://tass-ru.translate.goog/obschestvo/20533041/amp?_x_tr...

It's interesting, but I don't think it really confirms either interpretation. This link is about what Kadyrov says about the announcement. Not the announcement/rule itself.

One click further leads to https://tass-ru.translate.goog/kultura/20461139?_x_tr_sl=ru&...

But again, it's all about commentary on something I can't find the actual primary source for.

Back to Bach, I say. Outlaw the flat 5th and flat 7th, too /s None of that American "Jazz Music" allowed here.

Intervals are not flat or sharp. They are minor, major, perfect, etc. A 5th is a perfect interval. An inverted minor interval is a major interval. An inverted perfect interval is another perfect interval.
