Popular Culture and Turkish Folk Songs

Abstract

Daily life is included in popular culture. With the influence of globalization, popular culture has had rapid and instant effect and been experienced all around the world. One of the fields on which popular culture to which standardization is inherent is influential is music. As a result of standardization that has emerged under the influence of globalization and popular culture, local differences and cultural richness has been rapidly destroyed. As in many branches of art, the pleasure derived from visuality has taken the place of art in music. The visual messages, the visual and the auditory filthiness created by them especially in popular music are tremendous enough to turn the social structure upside down. Folk songs are what are most seriously damaged by this degeneration due to their anonymous nature.Considering our consciousness of music, it is a fundamental responsibility to stand against the destruction, commoditization and estrangement of folk songs from their history by popular culture. This study focuses on three main points. First, it is required for folk songs not to be deprived of their historical background. Second, the value of folk songs should be preserved against the threat of popular culture. Third, it is important to stand against the degeneration caused by the commoditization of folk songs by capitalism. Within the framework of these three doctrines, the subject will be discussed and the conclusions will be interpreted.
