| Title | Yugoslav New Wave, 1980 - 1985 |
| Summary | In this MA thesis I examine the Yugoslav new wave music scene and the ways these were represented on the pages of Polet, the official weekly newspaper of the Socialist Youth League of Croatia, and Džuboks, the first rock music magazine in the socialist world. I analyse the back issues of these music magazines in the period from 1980 to 1985. I focus on what kind of socio-political critique the musicians felt free to express, the ways in which they negotiated with, made compromises with and challenged the system, the increasing visibility of youth in this period, the complex relationship between the West and the ‘East’, as well as the other punk and new wave scenes throughout Eastern Europe. The magazines and the bands under examination provided constructive criticism that aimed at realising the proclaimed ideals of ‘socialist humanism’. |
