Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the article is to analyze the phenomenon of kitsch in music with the distinction of the receptive nature of the subjective experience of the individual in the conditions of its objectification of reality. The methodology of the research is based on the phenomenological method for the objective study of the kitsch problem in music, outlined by subjective experience in perception, judgment, and feeling, and the hermeneutic method that forms the basis for explaining the phenomenon of kitsch in music as a reproduction of creative processes in external manifestations. The scientific novelty lies in the new perspective of the study of the phenomenon of kitsch not in the figurative forms of art inherent in him, but in music, and understanding of the artistic value of kitsch in music through the prism of the subjective experience of the individual and his objectification of reality. Conclusions The phenomenon of kitsch and its receptive character with the pop-classic musical genre in the cultural and artistic space of the present are comprehended. The main focus is on analyzing the kitsch category from the subjective positions of the individual in terms of its reality objectification. The artistic value of kitsch in music, which appears in the opposite interdependence with the aesthetic, is singled out. It is proved that kitsch is a peculiar result of the requirements of modern reality, where the music itself is an installation, an objective reflection of reality through its own subjective experience.
