Summary/Abstract: The article offers some clarification of the stratification of literature, specifically addressing the popular genres, journalism, “unofficial” folklore, and non-literature (paraliterature). The observations are focused on phenomena dating from the end of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century. At the same time, the proposed approach expands the chronological scope and tries to problematize and update the imposed stratification of literature, taking into account the differentiation of the readership and its preferences. Several phenomena are highlighted, with the emphasis being placed on song genres and especially on the phenomenon of Angel Angelov Dzhendema (“the Hell”).
