Dubstep Tunes From Motorcycles

Laura Lee

The more we live, more brief appear Our life's succeeding stages; A day to childhood seems a year, And years like passing ages.

The gladsome current of our youth, Ere passion yet disorders, Steals lingering like a river smooth Along its grassy borders.

But as the careworn cheek grows wan, And sorrow's shafts fly thicker, Ye stars, that measure life to man, Why seem your courses quicker?

When joys have lost their bloom and breath, And life itself is vapid, Why, as we reach the Falls of Death Feel we its tide more rapid?

It may be strange—yet who would change Time's course to slower speeding, When one by one our friends have gone, And left our bosoms bleeding?

Heaven gives our years of fading strength Indemnifying fleetness; And those of youth, a seeming length, Proportion'd to their sweetness.

Let’s Talk About Cricket

Cricket has been a prevalent sport in the subcontinent for a long time. It is something that the locals relate with to a great extent. Be it bowling, or batting, or fielding for a match. Interestingly, Cricket was introduced in this region from the British when they acted as colonizers. The locals picked up the sport and adopted it as if it were their own sport, thereby developing a strong conviction to it. Experts agree that youngsters living in the Weald, a region of thick forests and clear

What are Sports to Society?

We all know what sports are by definition. We have all heard of different games like cricket, basketball, football, hockey, and many more. Other people enjoy watching different sports and some people can be enthusiastic enough to never miss a game. Regardless of what sport you choose or what level of enthusiasm you show towards the game, it can be agreed that sports hold a specific meaning to society. The definition of a sport goes far beyond knowing the rules of the game. There is a greater con

Military Culture

You might have heard that different cultures exist across different ethnicities, but if you have seen some of the most classical military-based movies like “A few good men”, or otherwise have an interest in military life, then you will know that there is a completely different culture in the Military and although civilians might not be able to understand that culture, it is well practiced in the military. Most militaries across the world have had their members living in a boarding school,

Any motorcycle fan has surely heard of Bosozku. And if you haven’t? Well, they are a Japanese rebel gang that’s best known for their rather strange and unique motorcycle tuning. They also use their motorcycles to create very, very loud music. Those part of this gang don’t have the best track record, to say the least, such as racing with their motorcycles on the city streets, going through red lights, and even taking off the mufflers of their motorcycles to make as much noise possible.

But ever since the gang started to be noticed by the Japanese police in the 2000s, they had no choice but to come up with legal ways to kill time (thankfully). To make a long story short, the Bosoku gang came up with ‘sound battles’ which means that anyone taking part in the contest has to create a dubstep tune using nothing but their motorcycle, and of course, the best wins first prize. If you’d like to check out what this actually looks like (or sounds like, better yet) there is no shortage of videos on social media – and in all honesty, some of them are seriously impressive. And unsurprisingly some even have millions of views too.

This trend has become so popular that they even started hosting special events where people come just to see what kind of tunes these bikers have in store. Some Bosoku sound battlers even perform in duos, perfectly matching up their hand movements to create identical sounds. And while this pass time may sound rather childish, believe it or not, many of these musicians are actually in their 40, and others are even older than 40 too. Basically, it’s safe to say that these motorcycle musicians mean serious business, especially based on the past history of the gang. Who knew motorcycles could make dubstep tunes?!
