Uruguayan rock in the eighties: traditions unexpectedly reinvented

Evidences of musicians from the Eighties indicate that they played music in the same stages than musicians of the prior generation. Such a contact – that was conflictive occasionally – allowed the new musicians to build an idiosyncratic generational identity, and challenges the idea that the rock of...

description Evidences of musicians from the Eighties indicate that they played music in the same stages than musicians of the prior generation. Such a contact – that was conflictive occasionally – allowed the new musicians to build an idiosyncratic generational identity, and challenges the idea that the rock of the Eighties in Uruguay would have been born without artistic parents, as stated in the musical critic reviews of the time. This article examines, first, how critical reviews and chronicles contributed to the building of an eloquent discourse for the new youth subculture. Second, it questions the idea of orphanhood describing how musicians and journalists rejected and resignified certain elements of existing cultural tradition thus making the rock from the Eighties the defining cultural element of the decade.

Tal contacto les permitió construir una identidad generacional definida. Esto cuestiona la idea de que el rock de los ochenta habría nacido sin padres artísticos, como se afirma en las críticas musicales de la época. Este artículo analiza, en primer lugar, las críticas y crónicas que contribuyeron a formar esta idea, que fue central en la construcción de un discurso identitario para la nueva subcultura juvenil. En segundo lugar, cuestiona la idea de la orfandad y analiza cómo los músicos y periodistas adoptaron y resignificaron los elementos de la tradición cultural existente para hacer del rock de los ochenta el elemento definitorio de la cultura de la década. Universidad Católica del Uruguay2014-09-302025-12-22T16:37:19Z2025-12-22T16:37:19Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.ucu.edu.uy/index.php/revistadixit/article/view/39610.22235/d.v0i21.396https://hdl.handle.net/10895/5926Dixit; No. 21 (2014): Dixit; 4-19Dixit; Núm. 21 (2014): Dixit; 4-19Dixit; N.º 21 (2014): Dixit; 4-190797-36911688-349710.22235/d.v0i21reponame:LIBERIinstname:Universidad Católica del Uruguayinstacron:Universidad Católica del Uruguayspahttps://revistas.ucu.edu.uy/index.php/revistadixit/article/view/396/370Derechos de autor 2014 Dixithttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/deed.esinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:liberi.ucu.edu.uy:10895/59262026-06-16T06:53:15Z
