Върху някои аспекти на хибридността в българския рок и метъл
Оn some aspects of hybridity in Bulgarian rock and metal

Summary/Abstract: The text outlines some aspects of hybridity in Bulgarian rock and metal. The focus is on metal music, rock is included, primarily because metal is a part of it, some of the external elements, used in metal, are from other types of rock music and some hybrid forms have a controversial status – they come from metal, in part, but are they metal? In addition to stable hybrid forms, the text includes examples of milder hybridity, wherein external elements are used, without creating a new metagenre. Another accent is the hierarchy of hybrid forms, tied to the way the source genres and micro cultures are perceived. An attempt has been made to explain the importance of self-defining and “external” (or outsider) definitions for the understanding of different musical categories, their use and perception, which can affect the genre-cultural hierarchy of hybrid musics.
