Bangla band music

In my opinion, 'Bangla Band Music' is a very vague term. In theory, when a group of musicians get together to create music, it is called band music. However, in Bangladesh, basically any kind of music other than Rabindra Sangeet, Nazrul Geeti, classical and traditional folk songs are considered as 'band music'. The 'old' groups in general fall under the 'pop' or 'soft rock' category. The new movement can be called heavy metal, alternative rock or simply rock and metal.

In his article, Mr. Haque has tried to ridicule this movement. It is obvious that he doesn't like this genre and that's perfectly acceptable. But the way he tried to bash this genre was very irrational on his part. This was irrelevant in the argument about 'distortion of Bangla'. This just goes to show how unfairly biased his opinion towards underground metal bands is. After all, we should not waste our time arguing over the definition of good music and bad music. Nevertheless, we should have respect for all kinds of music even if we personally despise some.

I agree with what Mr. Haque said about the language Bangla. "This language certainly possesses a standard form and has a dignified history."

I agree with it hundred percent. And that's why in my opinion, Bangla is offended when we claim that some underground bands are harming the language. No band has the capability to have a negative influence on a language with such a strong background.

Mr. Haque has not mentioned any particular band but I can guess which bands he is indicating. I can name them straight away but as he has restrained himself from doing so, I will as well. However, I confidently claim that the number of the bands with a distinct accent is very small, almost negligible.

Mr. Haque himself said that 'Band Music' did not receive the warmest of welcomes as it appeared in the Bangla music scene. But that didn't stop it from getting popular and win the heart of the audience. It is a matter of time that the current underground metal movement will be widely accepted around the country, regardless of the accent it uses. A language can have several dialects and accents. Tomorrow someone may sing in perfect Sylheti in one of these underground metal bands. Would not it be unfair to accuse them for the distortion of Bangla? Yes it would be. If we are not ashamed of different dialects of Bangla such as Sylheti or Noakhali, we should not have issues with a Bengalish accent either. If we do, then it will be sheer hypocrisy on our part.
