The influence of modern trends on the specifics of the subjective organization of rock texts of the 21st century

Abstract

The article studies the influence of modern trends on the specifics of the subjective organization of rock texts of the musicians generation in the “pro-Western” period, starting from that of the “era” of the emo subculture and ending in 2021. The main purpose of the article is to establish the peculiarity of the subjective organization of texts in rock poetry of the 2000s–2010s, as well as to determine the influence of social events on the change of the lyrical hero. In the course of the study, conclusions are drawn about the importance of the performer in the communicative chain “author-hero-performer-audience”, as well as possible reasons for changing the characteristics of lyrical heroes in the texts of four Russian rock bands of the modern generation (“Tracktor Bowling”, “Louna”, “Amatory”, “Pornofilms”). Using the example of the texts of each of these groups, the conclusion is made about a certain development of the group from the beginning of the creative path to its end or the last album as well as about the importance of the performer’s role for the texts composition of modern performers, as well as about the mutation of the lyrical hero under the influence of extra-textual factors. The article discusses the common features of the subject organization of four groups created at different times and having different communicative goals. Based on the subjective analysis, a conclusion is drawn about the mass character of modern rock music.
