| Zusammenfassung: | The last book of the New Testament has inspired countless narratives and cultural productions. In the realm of popular music the Apocalypse was embraced as synonymous of imminent catastrophe, generating a dystopian discourse. As a tool for analysis, the concept of "critical dystopia" has built a useful bridge between apocalyptic menaces, re-enchantment of the world, and social protest. On the other hand, "authenticity" is a sacred dimension within rock, the antidote of commercialism. This paper has two parts: first a conceptual review of the state of the questions and debate involved; and second, an exposition of selected songs, followed by a summary of their main traits. |
