Valstybingumo simboliai Atgimimo epochos Lietuvos roko muzikoje

LTXX amžiaus pabaigos populiariojoje kultūroje roko muzika tapo pirmaujančia muzikine "kalba", labiausiai atitinkančia XX a. 8-10 deš. kylančias visuomenės vertybes ir informacijos perdavimo (medijų) formas. Rokas formavo ir iškeldavo naujas reikšmių ir prasmių dimensijas, estetiką bei socialinius siekius. Taip buvo Didžiojoje Britanijoje ir Jungtinėse Valstijose, ši populiariosios kultūros forma XX a. 9 deš. pabaigoje svarbią vietą užėmė ir Tarybų Sąjungoje - nuo Leningrado ir Maskvos iki Tarybinės Lietuvos.

ENThe lyrics of the Western rock bands underwent a significant transformation, with dominating themes of interpersonal relations and lust in the Elvis-influenced 1960s being replaced by the anti-establishment songs on social justice in the era of the Clash and U2. In Soviet Lithuania of the 1980s, the lyrics of rock bands underwent four major transformations in almost 10 years. During the Brezhnev era, the bands had to choose approved conformist texts in order to perform legally; later, in the lyrics of such bands as Rondo, Kardiofonas, and Katedra, praises to the current state of affairs were replaced by some Aesopian lines, the poems written by some approved and renowned authors, members of the Lithuanian SSR Writers' Union. In the late 1980s, with the start of Sąjūdis and the Velvet Revolution, the band members began writing song texts themselves, and a wave of sharp criticism or even scathing mockery of the Soviet system followed (especially punk rock bands). This trend was also present in other former Soviet republics. Finally, with the proclamation of the Lithuanian Independence in 1990, the anti-state and anti-establishment songs became unpopular again. It is significant that the distinctive and distinguished band of this era, Antis, split up by releasing the final single, an enthusiastic song "Lietuvos valstybė" ("The State of Lithuania"), in which singer Algirdas Kaušpėdas declared "Lithuania in the world" and urged for the international recognition of the newly reborn European state.
