Abstract
This article argues that after the disintegration of Yugoslavia, Yugoslav rock music lost
little cultural value and is still a prominent trigger of vernacular memories of the
socialist Yugoslav past, as well as a vehicle of socio-political commentary in post-Yugoslav contexts. In this view, music is understood as a galvaniser of affective relationships
to that past and to post-Yugoslav presents. In the first part of the article, the author
discusses the theoretical and practical implications of digitally mediated music as
immersive affective environments, working within the framework of media archaeology and a digital archives approach. It is argued that Yugoslav rock has retained its
potency and appeal, where today, in a post-Yugoslavia context, it presents an outlet for
the recomposition of musical preferences through nostalgia and opposition to the
post-1991 socio-political developments. In the second part of the article, focusing on
Facebook and YouTube, the author investigates how Yugoslav rock has been reframed
in social media and how fragments of the countrys past are reframed in digital media
environments. A qualitative multimodal discourse analysis is employed here to investigate a selection of fan pages of rock musicians and bands.

Introduction
Music can be seen as one of the most intimate technologies of the crossencryption of human experiences into individual and collective entanglements of everyday life. It is an affective transformative force (see Thompson

Pogaar
and Biddle 2013: 7; see also Cvetkovich, 2003; Grusin 2010)1 that, through
playing, dancing, or listening to it, transgresses the apparent divisions
between the individual and collective, the intimate and the public, the body
and the mind. Thus, it also plays a role in social cohesion: a listening individual is not only immersed into the musical landscape but also following
Victor Burgins idea of simultaneous collective reception (1996: 158) into
an imagined listening collectivity. In digital media environments (DME),
the immersiveness is somewhat different as compared to offline spaces.
Music in DME is distinctly marked by its unprecedented spreadability
(see Jenkins, Ford and Green 2013), a direct consequence of the coding
of music into digital files and the mediums technological infrastructure.
Instantaneous publication, decontextualisation, sharing, and spreading,
and also the redefinition of temporal and spatial borders, add to a repositioning of the relationship between past and present. This opens up a number of issues related to the complexities ingrained in the workings of music
and memory.
This paper looks into the digital afterlife of Yugoslav rock music, new wave
in particular,2 and aims to trace how it is re-presenced3 in post-Yugoslav digitally mediated realities. I argue that Yugoslav rock and primarily Yugoslav
new wave has lost little cultural value and subversive charge, and that in postYugoslav settings it has retained much of its potency and appeal (though to
some extent it was also commoditised). If during the 1980s Yugoslav rock was
the prime outlet for system critique, during the 1990s it became the prime outlet for post-socialist new-state system critique (see Muri 2011; Pavlov and
unjka 1990; Spaskovska 2011; Stankovi 2001; Velikonja 2013). In this respect,
today new wave presents an outlet for the recomposition of musical preferences, as well as a vehicle of nostalgia as opposition to the post-1991 sociopolitical orientations of post-Yugoslav societies.
1 For more on the conceptualisation of emotions and affect in relation to music, see Thompson
and Biddle 2013.
2 Clear distinctions between Yugoslav popular music genres, in this case rock, punk, and new
wave, are not too important from the present-day perspective, at least not to the extent that
they were during the 1980s. Rather, temporal distancing of the period importantly contributes to blurring and transcending the lines of division.
3 I adapt the term re-presencing from Sobchak 2011 and use it to denote the phenomenon of
bringing the past (media, content, ideology, memories) into the present.
217
Accordingly, the second part of the paper analyses several Facebook fan and
musician pages dedicated to the Yugoslav new wave band Ekatarina Velika,4
and looks specifically at a curious case on YouTube, namely, at a channel
owned by Branimir tuli, the frontman of the Yugoslav rock band Azra.5
Focusing on these outlets, it will be shown how the affective potential of these
new wave bands music has been reframed in social media, and how fragments
of the countrys past are remediated and reframed in radically different contexts and media environments. To analyse the sources, a multimodal discourse
analysis (OHalloran 2011) of audiovisuals, descriptions, posts, and comments
will be applied. To be better able to situate the discussion on the uses of music
and memory in the post-Yugoslav context, the paper will be framed within the
debate on media archaeology (see Parikka 2012) and digital vernacular archives
(see Ernst 2013). This approach unveils the affective user agency involved and
elucidates the individual and collective agency in digital memory practices
that often entail excavating and curating digital content (see Snickars 2009,
see also Pogaar 2014).

Just to illustrate, during the war in Slovenia in 1991, the radio and television aired exclusivelySlovenian music, while years later the popular Radio Dur refused to play southern
music.
Musical tastes have been subject to politicisation already before, on the levels of genres
and subcultures (jazz in the 1940s/50s or punk in the 1980s), but this time it was radically
all-encompassing.
In Slovenia, for instance, one of the central tenets of the Yugonostalgia movement from
the early 1990s onwards was Balkan music, which in many respects served as a technology of resistance against the Slovenian nationalising culture-political discourse; see
Velikonja 2002.
Digital content and digitally spreadable music can be understood as a media object:
music is ripped from vinyl and artwork is scanned and posted (which includes sound,
image, and text).
219
It is the multifarious whatever around the object that in the case of ex-Yugoslav rock music in DME posits the music as an (audio, visual, and textual)
object, around which both archaeology and archiving unravel and, importantly, the whatever also feeds affect. In its elusiveness, the whatever is sticky
enough to be indiscriminately adopted by users who may or may not have
personal experience with living in Yugoslavia.11 Significantly assisted by social
media, users of different ages engage with their own or their parents or
familys pasts through listening to music, hence they indirectly engage with
the legacy of the historical period, becoming familiar with its bands and
musicians.
Content in dme, on websites, blogs, and social media, provide a kernel
around which ad hoc collectivities form, based on memory on-the-fly (Hoskins
2009: 94). Although such collectivities may be quick to dis-assemble, the
records of online activities appear somewhat more resilient.12 Social media as
platforms for sharing music facilitate the spreadability of content (e.g. a music
video) and reposition it as a space-time trigger of affective collectivity: watching a video and listening to music while reading comments, likes, or dislikes
presents the user with the opportunity to participate in an ad hoc collectivity.
Participation in such collectivities, also because of their transience, mobilises
users to engage with content often in an erratic and irrational manner when
liking certain content or when commenting on it. As superfluous and not
11

Although personal information in dme is often unavailable, it is nevertheless quite obvious from circumstantial evidence that a number of users that are engaged in re-presencing
Yugoslav music are fairly young but still affected by the sounds and rhythms of Yugoslav
popular music: Since they grew up after the wars, destruction and selective amnesia,
these young people integrated some moments of the imaginary past into their emotional
continuity with the past that was not theirs and that was prohibited (Jansen 2005: 253).
But they are still far from permanent; this is to indicate the fleetingness of the lives of collectivities, whereas traces of their activity may outlast them. On the other hand, it has
never been so easy to phase out information from living memory (see Lepore 2015; see
also Meyer-Schonberg 2009).

implied focus, is rather open: the admin posts a wide selection of music
spanning pop, rock, hard rock, new wave, and punk. The page predominantly
hosts music videos, i.e. embedded YouTube videos, but also posts photographs and notes. These can be seen as media archaeological and archival
activities on the part of the administrator, while from the visitors perspective the pages activity can be seen and investigated as a continuous archival
display.
Given the amount of time apparently invested by the admin, it is reasonable
to assume that he applies certain criteria when selecting what to post. The criteria, he says, are often intimate, emotional, and related to longing and his onetime favourite music: One of my favourite bands [Yu Grupa] will perform at
Cinema Club Sloga, Sarajevo, 21 June [Jedna od mojih omiljenih grupa nastupie
u Sarajevu, 21. juna, u Cinemas Clubu Sloga.:) /A/.] (Ex-Yu rock 1 June 2013).
In the early days of the ex-Yu rock page the admin also ran an internet radio
station playing music requested by the pages followers. As music videos are
posted, the admin simultaneously creates a micro-archive of music and gives
space for building an ad hoc collectivity. Yet this archive is not an archive by
design: its archival quality emerges from the admins motivation to dig for and
post music that, once posted, remains there for future reference.13
This archive is by no means all encompassing or authoritative, and it does
not claim to be. Only a fragment of Yugoslav music production (subject to arbitrary selection based on the admins personal taste and the users music
requests) is, or can be, re-presenced. The page nevertheless gives the opportunity to both admin and users to engage with the posted content, and through
the content, also with their past and their memories. It has to be emphasised
that admins and users are not just active consumers of content, but are also its
co-creators. This means that they actively practice media archaeology, often
driven by their memories and fuelled by the results of their searches and other
users responses to the unpremeditated archives. As difficult as it is to estimate
the impact of a particular page on its visitors, the total number of followers
(which is continually growing) and the number of likes in the posts hint at the
presence of digital music.
The value of such micro-archives from the user perspective, however, is debatable. If the admin can have some sort of control over the content and the development of the page, it is very difficult for users who only sporadically follow the
posts on their Timelines to keep track of the developments. The users who

It features a photo of a tombstone on the grave of the bands lead singer, Milan
Mladenovi, and a transcript of the epitaph:
[He died in Margitas lap, having just put on a jacket and his guitar, ready
to go to the gig at the Sava centre. He then weighed 35 kilos] / [Youre not
alone, youre not alone, I keep your shadow going on, I cover your face,
I repeat your words, Relax, get your bearings, be as you once were, be as
I know you were, bright, strong and confident].
Mladenovi died in 1994, and the continued interest in the singer and the band
reveals not only the relatively widespread prominence of ekv and ex-Yu rock
in general, but also emphasises the recurrent presence of the past enabled
through the massive mediatisation of the everyday.

If the Ekatarina Velika ekv page predominantly focuses on the lead singer
Mladenovi as the main progenitor and motor of the band both lyrically and
musically, Stefanovis profile(s) on the other hand open(s) up a different story,
a story of the first Yugoslav rock heroine. It further adds to the affectivity of her
afterlife, building on her biographical details and including quotations from
her biography O.Seanja (Feelings/Memories) and a number of photos.
Accompanied by likes and comments, Stefanovis digital afterlife is indeed a
life of tragic beauty, drug addiction, and devotion to art.
The life of the band and its members tragic fates retold in Facebook pages,
spreadily available for consumption and incorporation into individual narratives, continue to contribute to positioning the band as a trans-generational,
trans-ideological, and indeed an all-Yugoslav band. Despite being firmly rooted
226
Pogaar
in a very concrete history of 1980s Yugoslav socialism, the bands commemoration on Facebook indicates that the digitisation of music (experience) decidedly contributes to fusing musical experiences with conflated excerpts of
actual history and the personal stories of the band members and users.
The mediated conflation of the past and present is particularly telling for
the present day appreciation of 1980s Yugoslav rock. As mentioned above, the
bands and their protagonists actively and openly criticised the system and
society. Before their emergence, Yugoslav rock (not to mention other genres)
was mainly constrained to the Yugoslav milieu. However, the emergence of
punk and new wave in the late 1970s (partly in response to the economic crisis
of the late 1970s and the rise of nationalisms in Yugoslavia) positioned these
genres as musical, artistic, and intellectual outlets for addressing the complexities of the time. In many cases, the bands public appearances and actions galvanised intellectuals to begin addressing certain issues more consistently (see
Malekar and Mastnak 1985; see also Pogaar 2008).
With the collapse of Yugoslavia in 1991, new wave and punk, including ekv
and Azra, lost their imminent object of criticism and the socio-political frame
within which they functioned. However, they largely remained true to their
ideals and continued the anti stance in the new systems. It is this coherenceof
posture that continually enables the reframing of their music in a postYugoslav context, both as a philosophy and as an affective immersive sonic
environment.
Unlike all of the ekv members who only live in the digital realm, another
musician who started his career in the late 1970s, Branimir tuli Johnny,
frontman of the band Azra (one of the key bands of the Yugoslav 1980s new
wave scene), is still very much alive. His presence, however, seems to be more
digital than physical, given that he leads a fairly secluded life in the
Netherlands. After more than twenty years of self-exile, he has recently
actively taken control over his music on YouTube (and hence over a part of
Yugoslav musical heritage) and now curates Azra music archives (and also
produces new music) by means of imposing copyright claims over Azras
musical legacy on YouTube. Prior to tulis intervention, an unregulated mass
of Azra music on YouTube seemed safe from copyright claims. After YouTube
removed upload video length restrictions in 2010, the uploading of videoed
concerts and mix tapes increased enormously. At the same time, the protection of copyright on the part of YouTube scaled up as well, as the company

below disappeared between the time of doing research and revising this article: the video was suddenly No longer available due to a copyright claim by /c/
azramusic. Sorry about that.15
This was ironically anticipated in several now extinct comments to the
video: [tula will shut your channel :) if he finds out] (TutorialiWindows
2013) / [Hell take your video down and delete your account] (Miki Jevremovi
2013).
As it turns out, tuli has effectively managed to get YouTube to remove all
content that uses his music, including all the comments. Thus all trace of a
collectivity has disappeared as well. One particularly interesting case in this
respect was a user-made video in which tulis cover of Leonard Cohens
cover The Partisan was used in creating a digital memorial to a users (xPartizani0zauvijekX) grandfather who had fought in World War ii against Nazi
occupation. The video mobilised users to share stories of their own grandfathers who were members of the Yugoslav wwii resistance. Furthermore, the
song enticed users into an ad hoc collectivity and was thus rendered into a
place where the entire Yugoslav period was positively remembered and contested. With the subsequent removal of the video on tulis behalf, a cyberplace of memory was consequently gone, and along with it went the
micro-archive of intimate thoughts and feelings related to the memories of
users grandparents, the former Yugoslavia, partisan resistance, and Yugoslav
popular music.
In the aftermath of tulis copyright action, a very centralised YouTube
presence of Azra music emerged. Although some cyberplaces of memory
were gone, users were quick to adapt and new collectivities formed around the
videos. In this case, the affective whatever sticking to music, entangled with
users intimate pasts, memories, and presents was reinvented in a new setting. Regardless of the eradication of much vernacular activity, the affective
whatever of music was thus readily re-inscribed into the everyday of
post-Yugoslavs:

The two comments above are imbued with a passion for tulis music:

They explicate how tulis musical archive can in fact serve not only as a static
archive but also as a dynamic archive that allows for individual investment of
memories and expectations. In addition to being an archive of music, tulis
YouTube channel is also an archive of users responses, a record of externalisations of their thoughts and feelings about the music. Most importantly, it provides a space where videos and comments feature as kernels of affect
(regardless of how short their life may be).
In relation to this, I would like to introduce the concept of defragmented
affect, which follows the seeming fragmentation of affect in dme, and rests on
Thompson and Biddles argument that
music mobilises bodies through affective transmission. Sound is used to
create a particular ambience or atmosphere, via the induction, modulation and circulation of moods, feelings and intensities, which are felt but,
at the same time, belong to nobody in particular.

but let us focus here on music) acts as a catalyst of emotion/memory externalisation. The networked bodily reactions (clicking, cutis anserine, enragement,
etc.) presuppose user engagement with content and, dis-simultaneously, with
other users entangled with the same content. In this respect, defragmented
affect is closely linked to an ad hoc collectivity.
The defragmentation of affect importantly operates counter-parallel to the
fragmentation of individual/bodily presence in dme. The fragmentation
presupposes that the physical collectivity is absent and that the fragmented
state is incurred by the mediating power of communications technology and
social media: in dme, affect appears to be fragmented because of the lack i.e.
fragmentation of bodily/physical interaction that normally generates affective fields.16 But communication in dme, and particularly in social media, still
affords interpersonal interaction through spreadability and viscerality a
prosthetic physicality that materialises primarily in the bodily responses.
Networked interaction between content and users, enhanced by music and
based upon the presupposition of dis-simultaneous collective reception,
therefore digitally mediates affect and as it does so also defragments it.
If we return to tuli, there is another affective aspect that should be
addressed. Apart from curating his music, tuli also engages with Yugoslav
musical heritage (folk and pop songs). However, in the period where all things
Yugoslav are to a great extent deemed problematic, this lends to a pro-Yugoslav
and definitely anti-nationalist speculation. In his pop/folk interventions, tuli
manages to reach out to a post-Yugoslav national subject, his former Yugoslav
compatriot. Through his YouTube channel he thus publishes covers of numerous folk songs that resonate with national feelings, but they attain a distinctly
supra-national hue in his curating strategy. Once uploaded to his channel the
songs form an archive of folk (Macedonian, Serbian, Croatian, Bosnian) and
pop songs (including covers of the most popular Yugoslav singer/songwriter
Arsen Dedi, or the singer Ivo Robi). Much like tulis rock interventions,
these songs likewise tease out affective responses that stem from the mediated
conflation of history, i.e. of the pre- and post-1991 periods. Moreover, this also
suggests that in relation to pre-1991 music, the borders between genres for
todays listeners are becoming increasingly porous. Although the Yugoslav past
is not necessarily the central feature of users responses, the sticky whatever
emanating from cursory remarks and assessments in users comments, in his
old and new material, reveals the importance and relevance of the Yugoslav
past in the present-day consumption of tulis music:
16
The debate on the detrimental effects of digital sociability, clearly, is out of scope, yet it is
bound to dominate the debate about the role of digital media in the physical, social, and
psychological development of individuals and collectivities.
231
The above comment is an example of an affective response to the present historical moment. As such, it is an assessment of the past and present:
What to say to you Dzoni Do not come back [] Whatever you may be
doing there [] here the soul is slowly dying away, people here have less
and less soul, heres awful poison for the soul of man, believe me We
keep on fighting, and youre helping us with your voice and work, may
you live long and enthral us with your genius The whole Balkan loves
you, you know!!
miljandamjan 2012
Miljandamjan thus denounces the present and implicitly relates it to the past,
and he does so through (referencing) tulis music, which is re-purposed as
the motivating factor and galvaniser of discontent. Such statements, sentiments, and affects can be related to the processes of transition that effectively
deny the post-Yugoslavs the capacity to take care of their own fates (see Buden
2012). Accordingly, one approach to taking care of ones own fate entails
participating in the lives of digital archives, reclaiming the past through its
present-day mediatisations, and reclaiming the memories related to and
formed while listening to the music.
Conclusion
In the article I have traced the elusive digital afterlife of Yu-rock and I argued
that Yugoslav rock and new wave have lost little cultural and political charge.
Re-presenced and re-framed, this music is today an outlet for reclaiming the
past, either through promoting resistance to the present condition or through
prompting mundane musings about times past. More to the point, the sociocultural role of new wave and particularly ekvs and Azras digital presences
features as a prominent trigger of vernacular memories and as an important
part of voicing and articulating present-day concerns related to the socio-political situation in post-Yugoslavia. Much of the socialist-era rock has retained its
rebellious appeal, but after 1991 it has also regained its political charge, which
has been redefined in new circumstances. Re-presencing the music gives room

for the articulation of post-socialist discontent, which gains affective force also
through historical conflation. In this view I approached music and memory
through the theoretical perspective of media archaeology and micro-archiving,
which were used to pinpoint affective investments of non-institutional and
unpremeditated individual and collective entanglements. I thus looked into
the digital (after)lives of the once extremely popular Yugoslav rock acts in
order to show that they are very much present in numerous individual lives as
a marker of the (conflated) past.
Individual user engagement with music in social media, however, rarely
amounts to detailed debates about music and its role in ideological systems,
and it rarely leads to informed discussions about political topics or about the
ways of life in post-Yugoslav spaces. Still, the political remains an important
underlying feature in much music related activity, and interweaves the practice of uploading music, the cursory remarks, and the occasionally more
explicit and detailed references in the comments. Such a wide span of user
interventions, and particularly the palpable absence of reflective argumentation, substantiates the claim that Yugoslav new wave in social media creates an
affective immersive environment wherein the Yugoslav socialist past and the
post-Yugoslav present are continually re-presenced. The use of music as a mnemonic technology is specifically part of post-1991 cultural referential frameworks, which are frequently marked by the clash between cleaning the
unbecoming socialist past on the one hand, and the quest to re-afford users
biographical memories with a sense of coherence and normalcy on the other
hand (see Jansen 2005). Therefore, the digitisation and vernacular uses of
music importantly contribute to the preservation of the Yugoslav musical
legacy through social media and perpetuate the recurring interest in postYugoslavs lived and unlived (musical) pasts. Furthermore, the spreadability of
music facilitates the re-creation of shattered cultural spaces through the cocreation of memories.
Nevertheless, the potential of micro-archiving is shadowed by the transience of content in DME. Despite dme being a potentially infinite repository
of digital information, longer-term preservation and remembering is at best
uncertain. This is largely a consequence of the fact that social media are privately owned and bound to copyright laws. Crucially, they are not (musical)
archives; this function arises from their everyday use and the specific postYugoslav socio-political circumstances. Longer-term preservation of bottomup vernacular interventions and content, as crucial as they may be,17 is thus
17

233
hardly secure not only because content may be taken out of public circulation due to copyright infringement, but also because service providers may
decide to discontinue a service, radically limit its access (paywalls), change its
conditions of use, etc.18
Today, many users co-create their affective resonances in corporate spaces
that are under no obligation to sustain their service beyond immediate profitability (see Miller 2011: 197). Hence, it is fair to express concern that ad hoc collectivities will be increasingly subdued to perpetual and radical transformation
and cross-platform migration. The threat of an imminent end as well as the
permanent transience of content and interpersonal relations seems to be the
intrinsic make-up of ad hoc collectivities.
Still, music as a technology that rocks the collectivity in commonly shared
rhythms, serving as a distiller of memory and affect, has managed to survive
many technological transitions, from wax cylinders and vinyl records (78rpm,
16rpm, 45rpm, 33rpm) to the magnetic tape, the compact disc, and most
recently to digital files. Collectivities driven by defragmented affect, as I have
illustrated above, present a rich assembly of micro-archives of personal visions
of the past. In these archives, history (of popular culture and wider) is always
already conflated and intertwined with users individual histories, which hardly
makes micro-archives a reliable historical source, but nevertheless renders
them a source for deciphering affective investment. The facets of the bygone
everyday, whether lived, unlived, or imagined, are thus interwoven into the digitally mediated present through participation in an ad hoc collectivity. In their
mission to rediscover certain music and its affective load of the past, such collectivities are in many ways radically different from pre-digital ones. However,
they are still so analogous when it comes to individual affective investments
that, once defragmented, they bring people together across time and space.
