It has come to our attention that Mr. Yuriy Loza, a gentleman of some musical renown, has seen fit to declare his absolute refusal to compose melodies suited to the tastes of the modern youth—those peculiar creatures known as 'Zoomers.' One cannot help but admire the fortitude of a man who refuses to bow before the altar of fashion.

«For whom should I compose?» the author of the celebrated 'Raft' exclaimed with a flourish of indignation. «For these youngsters, who find solace in nothing but rhythmic shouting?»

Mr. Loza has made it quite clear that he shall not lift a single finger for the benefit of this generation. With a touch of irony, he suggests that these young souls might instead direct their attention toward the likes of Miss Klava Koka or Madame Bulanova. Indeed, the maestro believes his own intellectual and musical potentials are far too refined for such rudimentary ears.

Furthermore, he maintains—with a certain aristocratic flair—that the idols of the present day are merely strolling down a path already paved by himself and other venerable mastodons of the stage. «Even the aforementioned Miss Koka follows the trail we have blazed,» he remarked, adding that it is highly debatable who, in this arrangement, ought to bow before whom.

This is not the first time Mr. Loza has expressed a certain distaste for contemporary antics. He previously cast a critical eye upon Mr. Kirkorov’s fondness for collaborating with the young, and in a moment of particular wit, compared the twenty-year-old performer Vanya Dmitrienko to an octopus. One imagines such a comparison was intended as a commentary on the tangled nature of modern pop, though the nuance may escape those preoccupied with the latest gossip of the salon.
