The aim of the article is to carry out an attempt to carry out a comprehensive analysis of the musical-aesthetic, socio-cultural, cultural-historical prerequisites for the development of rock music in Ukraine, which influences the musical-aesthetic thesaurus, forms the aestheticosphere, value orientations and, ultimately, determines the national-cultural identity of a young person. It is worth proving that musical culture, including the rock industry, has become the embodiment of musical ideals and mental and ideological attitudes of the Ukrainian music lover, which in turn influenced the processes of national identification and left a characteristic imprint on the ethnonational mentality and musical culture as a whole. The methodology of the research consists in the synthesis of art and cultural approaches to the study of the phenomenon of rock music in the Ukrainian art space, in the use of dialectical methods of analysis, synthesis, comparison, generalization and interconnection of cultural identity with the musical culture of the Ukrainian nation. The scientific novelty lies in the theoretical comprehension of the vocal and instrumental art of rock music in Ukraine as a phenomenon of musical cultural genesis and a form of national and cultural identification, in the implementation of cultural and artistic reflection on this genre and style variety. For the first time, the retrospection of Ukrainian rock music is presented in the context of cultural and historical processes of national identification. Through the prism of the author's approach, rock music appears as the embodiment of artistic and aesthetic ideals and mental and ideological trends, leaving a characteristic imprint on the processes of national and cultural identification, ethno-national mentality and the musical culture of Ukraine in general. The studied material allowed us conclusions that the formation and development of domestic rock music covers four stages. The four stages of the functioning of domestic rock music, which we have studied, contributed to the search for national and cultural identity, focused on the national aspect of the rock industry. In turn, this influenced the formation and cultivation of national features in rock music and musical culture as a whole, namely: in the introduction of the Ukrainian language as "fashionable" in the youth rock environment, in authentic intonation inclusions in arrangements, rock compositions, in the names of works and bands; in the use of folk traditions, folklore themes, regional motifs, dialects in vocal and instrumental rock sound of Ukrainian origin. These musical, aesthetic and cultural features of the national rock music contributed to the establishment of national and cultural identity, the popularization of the Ukrainian segment and the entry of the national musical culture into the world art space. The materials of this article were tested by the author in the process of teaching the course "Modern Popular Estradna Music" in the structure of secondary and higher music education and as a special course in out-of-school art education. A manuscript of the textbook of the same name has also been prepared, where domestic rock music is presented as a trigger and a business card of the national, cultural and musical identification of Ukraine.
