Rock Music of Serbia

Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavian of which Serbia was part, as not an Eastern Bloc country, but also a member of the Non-Aligned Movement and as such, was far more open to western influences compared to other socialist states. The western- affected pop and rock music was socially recognized, and the Yugoslav rock scene was well established and covered in the media, which comprised many magazines, radio and Television concerts. Paralleling the disintegration of Yugoslavia due to the civil war, its rock scene also stopped to exist. And during the 90s the fame of the rock music weakened in Serbia, and though many main mainstream artists tried to sustain their fame, an underground and independent music scene established. The 2000s mark the renewal of the mainstream scene.
