Sažetak
Rock music was pièce de résistance of the countercultural movement of the Sixties. Covering a wide array of social issues that would otherwise be ignored by authorities, it helped British and American youth to express their dissatisfaction with social norms. Accordingly, this thesis aims to determine the ideological relationship between rock music and counterculture, by examining the morals of rock and the values of counterculture in lyrics and live performances of rock musicians and the audience’s response to their music. Rock and counterculture were studied within the framework of Gramsci’s theory of cultural ideology. The analysis focused on finding recurring behavioural patterns that appear at rock concerts in order to prove the existence of anti-cultural values, and to determine exactly what those values are. Consequently, the analysis of lyrics and recordings of live events found on YouTube revealed that rock music and counterculture share almost the same, if not the same, powerful set of beliefs, ideas, and values.
