Can I just say how happy it makes me that Bojan basically shouted out non-binary people in the radio Center interview? 🥹 I don't think people from countries west of Slovenia realise how little understanding there is in Slovene society of what it means to be non-binary (or even that non-binary people are a thing that exists). So for a band that's as well-known in Slovenia as Joker Out is atm to point out that there aren't only "girls" at their shows, but guys and non-binary people as well... Idk, but to me, as a Slovenian, that's huge. I love Joker Out so much, I can't believe such a band came from my country. 🥺🥺

(I could also go on a rant how annoyed I am at the constant heteronormativity from interviewers who cannot shut up about "girls," but that's a topic for another day.)

Also, decided to write this in English so everyone can read it.

Hello and thank you for this ask (Hvala 🙏) I'll answer in English as well, so it reaches a wider audience because the topic is important and I had the exact same thoughts, and it was also one of the reasons why I insisted that we translate this whole thing, because I know that this specific mention is just SO important for non-binary people, because it's literally so rare that non-binary people are even mentioned in Slovene mass media! 😭

And, of course, in addition pointing out (and basically calling the interviewer out for heteronormative language by doing so) that it's not just girls singing (ugh, it's really frustrating when they use this language, I completely understand you!). Bojan is honestly so based for that answer, and a real green flag! 💗

Here's the full answer in context:

And you can of course find the whole Hitradio Center interview translated by @jokeroutsubs here on YouTube :)

Muzika za decu (SRP)

Nek' se čuje glasno ova naša pesmica

Pronađena izgubljena zlatna dečica

Tu su rokeri, hip-hoperi, cajkaroši, poperi, hipsteri i pankeri

Uvek može biti gore, hvala onom tamo gore

nismo TikTokeri

(Pa dobro malo i jesmo)

Šta me gledaš tako lepo, nerviraš me strašno

Obriši se ispod nosa, pao si u brašno

Ništa pametno da kažeš, pa si našo da me lažeš

Pa si našo da me lažeš

Ne znamo šta radimo dok si budućnost gradimo, sami se sebi gadimo

Ne znamo šta radimo pa pusti barem muziku da đuskamo i slavimo

Ovo nije rokenrol, ovo nije rokenrol

Ovo je, ovo je muzika za decu

Ovo nije rokenrol, ovo nije rokenrol

Ovo je, ovo je muzika za decu

Muzika za decu, muzika za decu

Muzika za decu, muzika za decu

Ajde ugasi muziku ako smeš

Ajde ugasi muziku ako smeš

Ajde smej se ako smeš

Smej se ako smeš

Smej se ako smeš

Ugasi muziku ako smeš

Ovo nije rokenrol, ovo nije rokenrol

Ovo je, ovo je muzika za decu

Ovo nije rokenrol, ovo nije rokenrol

Ovo je, ovo je muzika za decu

(Muzika za decu, muzika za decu)

(Muzika za decu)

(Ovo nije rokenrol, ovo nije rokenrol)

(Muzika za decu)

(Ovo nije rokenrol, ovo nije rokenrol)

Ovo je muzika za decu

Music for Children (ENG)

Let this little song of ours be heard loud and clear

Golden children, lost and found

There are rockers, hip-hoppers, folk and pop fans, hipsters and punks

It can always be worse, thanks to the one up above

We aren't TikTokers

(Well, we are a little bit)

Why are you looking at me so nicely, you annoy me terribly

Wipe your nose, you fell into some flour

Nothing smart to say, so now you lie to me

So now you lie to me

We don't know what we're doing while we're building our future, we're disgusted with ourselves

We don't know what we're doing, so at least play some music so we can dance and celebrate

This isn't rock 'n' roll, this isn't rock 'n' roll

This is, this is music for children

This isn't rock 'n' roll, this isn't rock 'n' roll

This is, this is music for children

Music for children, music for children

Music for children, music for children

C'mon turn the music off if you dare

C'mon turn the music off if you dare

C'mon laugh if you dare

Laugh if you dare

Laugh if you dare

Turn the music off if you dare

This isn't rock 'n' roll, this isn't rock 'n' roll

This is, this is music for children

This isn't rock 'n' roll, this isn't rock 'n' roll

This is, this is music for children

(Music for children, music for children)

(Music for children)

(This isn't rock 'n' roll, this isn't rock 'n' roll)

(Music for children)

(This isn't rock 'n' roll, this isn't rock 'n' roll)

This is music for children

Ako toga više neće biti (SRP)

UPDATED LYRICS

Prošlo je već devet dana, još se nisi vratila

Ja ću da sačekam još malo,

možda mesec, možda dva,

pa da otvoriš vrata ko da ništa nije bilo

I da te klasično pitam kakav ti je bio dan, da se gubimo u malim pričama

Šta ćemo za ručak, imamo li neki plan, da l' se izlazi večeras il' se sudimo na stan?

Da se grlimo i ljubimo, grlimo i ljubimo, i da si šapćemo

da se volimo, i da se sprdamo i smejemo dok si noge grejemo

Ako toga više neće biti, ljubav je najobičnija laž

Ako toga više neće biti, ako me stvarno ostavljaš

bez da me jednom pogledaš i da mi jedan razlog daš

Prošlo je već mesec dana i još te nema tu

Više-manje slabo spavam, da ne zakasnim u snu kako otvaraš vrata ko da ništa nije bilo

I da te klasično pitam kakav ti je bio dan i da se smejemo svim malim pričama

Šta ćemo za ručak, imamo li neki plan, da l' se izlazi večeras il' se sudimo na stan?

Da se grlimo i ljubimo i grlimo i ljubimo i da si kažemo

da se volimo, i da se sprdamo i smejemo dok si noge grejemo

Ako toga više neće biti, ljubav je najobičnija laž

Ako toga više neće biti, ako me stvarno ostavljaš

bez da me jednom pogledaš i da mi jedan razlog daš

Mene nema, znam da znaš

Prošla je godina dana

Ako toga više neće biti, ljubav je najobičnija laž

Ako toga više neće biti, ako me stvarno ostavljaš

bez da me jednom pogledaš i da mi jedan razlog daš

Mene nema, znam da znaš

Mene nema, znam da znaš

Znam da znaš

If That Won't Exist Anymore (ENG)

UPDATED LYRICS

Nine days have already passed, you still haven't come back

I'll wait a bit longer

Maybe a month, maybe two

For you to open the door like nothing happened

And like always, I'll ask you how your day was, so we can get lost in the little stories

What will we have for lunch, do we have a plan, will we go out or decide to stay at the apartment?

So we can hug and kiss, hug and kiss, and whisper to each other

That we love each other, and joke around and laugh while we warm our legs

If that won't exist anymore, love is nothing but a lie

If that won't exist anymore, if you're really leaving me

Without looking at me even once or giving me a single reason

A month has already passed and you're still not here

I sleep more or less poorly, so that in my dreams I won't be late when you open the door like nothing happened

And like always, I'll ask you how your day was, so we can laugh at all of the little stories

What will we have for lunch, do we have a plan, will we go out or decide to stay at the apartment?

So we can hug and kiss and hug and kiss and say

That we love each other, and joke around and laugh while we warm our legs

If that won't exist anymore, love is nothing but a lie

If that won't exist anymore, if you're really leaving me

Without looking at me even once or giving me a single reason

I'm gone, I know you know

A year has passed

If that won't exist anymore, love is nothing but a lie

If that won't exist anymore, if you're really leaving me

Without looking at me even once or giving me a single reason

I'm gone, I know you know

I'm gone, I know you know

I know you know

Lips (ENG)

Heavy breathing

In our Garden of Eden

We have a drink while I’m bleeding

In your arms

Can we discover

Naked undercover

With the pressure we’re under

We could make diamonds

Put your lips on mine

Put your lips on mine

You single-handedly wiped the smoke off my rose-tinted glasses

Suddenly I feel the choke from the hand of time, as it passes

Who would��ve guessed we would end up in this mess

Try to pass the test without breaking from the stress

I belong with you, not the earth and not the sky

And you say you feel it too, yet try to find a reason why

This love will kill us in the end, like waves kill castles in the sand

True love and pain go hand in hand.

Put your lips on mine

Put your lips on mine

Put your lips on mine

Put your lips on mine

Mesto duhov (SLO)

Moje mesto je mesto duhov,

še svojega praga nisem spoznal.

Tukaj po ulicah neki straši,

noben več ne sanja, noben več ne spi.

Mimo mene lebdijo sami žalostni ljudje.

Nazaj v nostalgijo včerajšnjega dne.

Pod nogami se trese.

Zapihal je veter, da vse nas odnese.

Pa pa pa pa pa. Pa pa pa pa pa. Res je blo lepo.

Pa pa pa pa pa. Pa pa pa pa pa. Zdaj pa več ne bo.

Umrla je muzika, ugasnil je smeh.

Solze utopile so iskre v očeh.

Pod nogami se trese.

Zapihal je veter, da vse nas odnese.

Pa pa pa pa pa. Pa pa pa pa pa. Res je blo lepo.

Pa pa pa pa pa. Pa pa pa pa pa. Zdaj pa več ne bo.

Pa pa pa pa pa. Pa pa pa pa pa. Res je blo lepo.

Pa pa pa pa pa. Pa pa pa pa pa. Kratko in sladko.

City of Ghosts (ENG)

My city is a city of ghosts,

I didn't even recognise my own doorstep.

Something is haunting these streets,

no one is dreaming anymore, no one is sleeping anymore.

Only sorrowful people are floating past me.

Back into the nostalgia of yesterday.

The ground is shaking under our feet.

The wind has blown to sweep us all away.

Pa pa pa pa pa. Pa pa pa pa pa. It really was beautiful.

Pa pa pa pa pa. Pa pa pa pa pa. Now it won't be anymore.

Music has died, laughter has gone out.

Tears have drowned the sparkle in their eyes.

The ground is shaking under our feet.

The wind has blown to sweep us all away.

Pa pa pa pa pa. Pa pa pa pa pa. It really was beautiful.

Pa pa pa pa pa. Pa pa pa pa pa. Now it won't be anymore.

Pa pa pa pa pa. Pa pa pa pa pa. It really was beautiful.

Pa pa pa pa pa. Pa pa pa pa pa. Short and sweet.

Sonce (SLO)

Izgubil sem vse,

čemur ti si rekla sonce.

Ko pade zadnja kaplja,

mene več ne bo.

Pazi na korak,

da prehitro ti ne mine.

Ko zajemaš zrak,

vdihni še spomine.

Učila si me, da sem vse,

a očitno vreden nič.

Tudi brez mene se vrti naprej,

preliva kri v kič.

Mogoče pa nisva dovolj glasno jokala.

Mogoče pa ni dovolj jasno bilo,

kako sva se bala.

Mogoče pa najine so solze odveč,

za ceno udobja vsi kriki preveč.

Mogoče le naju bolelo bo,

da ni naju več.

Sun (ENG)

I've lost everything

That you called the Sun

When the last drop falls

I'll be gone

Watch your step

So it doesn't pass too quickly

When you inhale

Breathe in the memories, too

You taught me I was everything

But apparently worth nothing

It keeps turning without me,

Shedding blood into kitsch

Maybe the two of us didn't cry loud enough

Maybe it wasn't clear enough,

How afraid we were

Maybe our tears are redundant

For the price of comfort, all the screams are too much

Maybe it'll hurt only us

That we're gone

His reaction is incredible: 😐

Hi Joker Out Tumblr!

I’m not very active here but after seeing all the comments regarding the recent JokerOutSubs interview in London I had to respond.

I was the one who went to go and interview them in London and the response over the last couple of days has been incredibly emotional, and incredibly overwhelming, so firstly, thank you all, from the bottom of my heart, for making me so indescribably happy. Seeing people say that they felt safe watching this interview, and that it’s going to be a comfort video for them, actually brought me to tears on a number of occasions.

I wanted to respond to a few comments that I’ve seen. The questions were mostly devised by me and @alephai . When we were perfecting the questions and going over ways we could make them as respectful as possible, she suggested that we ask permission from Bojan before jumping into personal questions about his anxiety. I immediately agreed and I’m so glad we insisted on keeping it in, even as the questions went through several redrafts. We are both strong advocates of mental health acceptance, and I certainly understand on a personal level how challenging it can be to talk about. We wanted to make sure he had the opportunity to not talk about it, if he didn’t want to, and we were prepared for multiple scenarios.

We also decided right from the beginning that we didn’t want to put our own interpretations on the band. We wanted to frame the questions so they could answer anything they wanted to them, and make it clear that we’re not trying to sensationalise or find some kind of clickbaity quote. A looooot of thought, time and effort went into the questions and we think that the band could sense that there was a lot of love, respect, and genuine admiration for what they do in them. We’re really glad everyone else noticed it too!

We were also really mindful that the questions flowed neatly into one another - for instance, the questions about Bojan’s anxiety got steadily less personal and lighter so it would move smoothly into the questions about music. Again I’ve seen loads of comments about this and it’s so validating to see that the hard work put in was noticed.

We were extremely mindful of appropriate boundaries, and kept the knowledge that we’re ultimately strangers to them front and centre. The main goal on the day was to be as professional as possible. I’m genuinely so happy that they felt relaxed and comfortable enough to open up. I’m glad to say there was never a moment in the room where there was any tension, it truly felt like having a chat with friends! Afterwards, Bojan asked me if I were a professional journalist (which I am not) and it really made me incredibly happy. They are all absolutely sweethearts and some of the warmest, kindest people I’ve had the pleasure to spend an hour with.

The aftermath of the interview was one of the most intense weeks of my life and I have to shout out to every member of @jokeroutsubs who worked on this one. The dedication I saw from the subtitles, translators and video editors was insane. Lots of conversations at mad hours of the morning trying to get this out to the highest possible quality, and I am, as ever, bowled over by the JOS team. To say that joining up with them has been life changing is an absolute understatement, and I’m glad to say that through JOS I’ve met a series of women without whom I can no longer imagine my life. Strong, intelligent women from all over Europe who I now consider to be my sisters, and whom I love incredibly dearly.

I have to mention the message at the end of the interview. This was the product of many months of conversation about the impact of Joker Out on Slovene society between me and several members of the slo team, something that it’s been amazing to learn about from the perspective of an English girl, and we’re so glad we had an opportunity to tell them. Massive thank you again for all the voice notes I was sent to help me practice my pronunciation. I wanted to make sure it was as good as I could possibly manage to show my respect for the Slovenian people, language and culture.

Lastly I wanted to say thank you for all the messages I’ve received complimenting me on this interview. Credit in this case has to be shared between so many people. It was truly a team effort and I’m just so happy I could contribute in giving something back to a band I love and admire, and a community that embraced me with open arms during a difficult time in my life.

I love you all, and thank you all for your wonderful words. X

"Host: Cool. How do you act if you see one girl somewhere and you like her?

Bojan: I usually try to find out who the girl is as quickly as possible, then sneak into some of the places where she's hanging around, you know? "

Sorry for not posting so much, life has been busy. But Stozice (my keyboard doesn’t offer the little thing on the z) yesterday was amazing. I was watching from the joker.out.subs. Livestream and it was amazing. I am so happy to be part of this fandom and proud of how far the boys have come even though this adventure is only just starting for me. I can’t wait to see them in December, but until them this is filling my joker out needs. Unforgettable experience.
