Two videos for you to illustrate the bizarre coexistence of modern western and fundamentalist cultures in Iran. The first clip is your daily shot of hope: a look at Iran’s metal scene, which somehow incorporates Kiss, Tupac, and Ziggy-Stardust-era Bowie hair. They’re just like us — or rather, they’re just like us but even cheesier. Possibly the most moderate Muslims you’ll ever see.

The second clip is self-explanatory and warrants a strong content warning. Click the images to watch.
