Sažetak
Compared to other discographic categories representing different segments of Croatian popular music, a relatively small label of otočki rock [island rock] consists of no more than a dozen albums (all published between 1999 and 2009) by three bands – Šo!Mazgoon, Gego & Picigin Band and Kopito. Nevertheless, otočki rock was constructed, and then also recognized as a different, distinguishable, recognizable, and specific segment of the domestic popular music scene. From the body of numerous texts that have presented, described, explained and constructed otočki rock, three standpoints are singled out, that will serve as the starting points for the interpretation of the phenomenon of otočki rock – the island metaphor ; the formative role of the dialect ("island" dialect?) ; and insisting on "flauntingness", "smoothness", "cheerfulness", "fun", "unpretentiousness", "summerness" as the formative characteristic of the islandness upon which the otočki rock promotional discourse rests. While attempting to interpret the phenomenon of otočki rock through the prism of islandness constructed by music and music constructed by islandness, the author will also raise the following questions – on the existence of which imagination precisely does this category count on and which Island does it create and invoke through its promotional discourses? and is there a non-island part of the otočki rock and how is it poeticized and set to music?
