Na primeru hardkor scene u Beogradu u tekstu se ukazuje na ulogu svetskih i domaćih masovnih medija prilikom konstituisanja scene, kao i njihova uloga u formiranju njenog identiteta i načina funkcionisanja. U odnosu na hardkor scenu u Srbiji, masovni mediji su odigrali bar trostruku ulogu. (1) oni su glavni kanal kojim je ova scena pristigla, u prvom redu preko stranih masovnih medija (MTV), (2) oni daju materijal na osnovu kog se formira slika mainstreama, etablirane kulture kao i svih relevantnih Drugih, (3) svojim negativnim interesovanjem (neinteresovanjem) za samu scenu čine da hardkor ostane kulturno nevidljiv, što povratno utiče na unutrašnju dinamiku scene.In the paper the author examines the hardcore scene in Belgrade and points out the role that foreign and Serbian mass media have had during its constitution, as well as their role in the formation of its identity and the manner of its functioning. Mass media have affected the hardcore scene in Serbia in at least three ways: (1) they were a main channel to which this scene first came in Serbia, primarily by foreign mass media, (2) the material they provided was used to form the image of mainstream, established culture and relevant Other images, (3) they have made hardcore invisible in a cultural sense by their negative interest, which has in turn influenced the internal dynamic of the scene
