govnar, pl. govnari (literaly "the shitters" in Russian)
A subculture in Russia.
Young guys with guitars, playing music on the street and begging for
money . Their guitars usually cheap and badly tuned. They usually play covers of popular
rock songs, but in very primitive way, as many of them
don't have musical skills and know only 3 or 4 chords.
The term originated from the song "Govnorock" of Russian rock band 'Nol'" (Zero) . govnorock = shitty
rock, hence those who play that kind of music - the shitters
