Transgressing and Transcending: Ethos and Counterculture in Rock
Keywords:
Rock, Counterculture, Transgression, Evolution of Culture, ethos, Values and PraxisAbstract
Establishing a precise definition of the characteristics that have distinguished Rock as a cultural movement, its permanence, and its evolution is not a simple task. In this article, we propose the elements that define the ethos of this cultural movement, fundamentally a break with the established, not only in external values, but even with the values themselves over time. We thus envision Rock as a movement in which transcendence is achieved through transgression.
