At the same time, in the context of modern social and historical development, the emphasis is on the formation of a special kind of mass art-popular art, which becomes a mirror of socio-historical events that are important for a particular time. At the same time, in the context of modern social and historical development, the emphasis is on the formation of a special kind of mass art-popular art, which becomes a mirror of socio-historical events that are important for a particular time.

It is determined that such symbolism is most fully and deeply revealed in the context of the genre content of pop vocal performance, which today is defined as a new academicism, i.e. deep and concretized professionalization that provides its own socio-communicative and expressive-artistic canons, forms the basis for understanding and interpreting events of modernity and socio-cognitive function.
