Sažetak
In addition to the fact that it is almost impossible to imagine everyday life without
music, music can also serve as a mirror in which various changes, influences, va-
lue systems, the presence of certain ideologies, as well as gender roles and desira-
ble male and female behavior are visible. Turbofolk has not declined in popularity
over the last thirty years; it has evolved following world music trends. By combi-
ning trap music and rhythm with tremolo singing technique, trap folk was crea-
ted, a genre that portrays a society in which alcohol, drugs, prostitution, crime,
luxurious lifestyle and status symbols are part of everyday life. The popularity of trap folk and its performers is obvious from the multimillion views trap folk son-
gs receive on YouTube and other streaming platforms and the popularity of trap
folk singers on social networks. The aim of this paper is to analyze gender dis-
course in trap folk lyrics with a special focus on stereotypical gender roles, con-
struction of gender identity, and patriarchal ideology. Critical Discourse Analysis
will be applied in the analysis together with the theoretical background of gender
studies. The purpose is to point to the changes in society which influence younger
generations in particular and are reflected in the songs and lyrics mentioned.
