| Summary / Abstract (Note) | This study examines the development of popular music in Mongolia over roughly four decades, focusing in particular on the emergence of globally inspired hip-hop and rap music. This is the period in which Mongolian popular musicians found their own voice within a rapidly expanding cultural mainstream. Hip-hop emerged within this mainstream as both a product of these developments and the result of the rise of a new generation of young people who defined themselves as distinct from the older, 'socialist-era' generations and used this music to declare this. The story of hip-hop's development provides us with a window onto the changing social, political and economic landscape of post-socialist Mongolia. |
