The problem of negative manifestations in rock culture

Doronin Vladimir Viktorovich

This article is devoted to the actual topic - the study of negative manifestations in rock culture, namely the reasons for the use of alcohol and drugs by rock writers. The choice of the topic is not accidental, since the problem remains one of the most acute both in society and in the youth environment, and in the culture of rock it has a special ambiguous attitude. In rock culture, it has a wide variety and in many ways, its causes are very different from the causes and consequences of these abuses at the household level. Especially it should be noted that the author does not try to justify these negative manifestations and the aim of the work is to study them from a scientific philosophical standpoint, in creativity, in this case directly in the rock culture. To be objective, the author relies on the works of S. Grof, J. Deleuze, T. Leary, E. Frumm, A. Camus and other thinkers.

Keywords:rock culture, rock-author, rock-hero, inner experience, transcendent experience, happening, psychedelic adventure (trip), metaphysical rebellion.
