Abstract

The article focuses on the rise of hip hop in Myanmar and its significance in shaping youth culture and political sentiment, as discussed by journalist and academic researcher Naomi Gingold. Her research highlights how hip hop emerged in the mid-late 1990s under military rule, serving as a form of self-expression that subtly challenged cultural norms and conveyed political discontent despite heavy censorship. Gingold emphasizes the impact of pioneering groups like Acid, whose debut album marked a cultural milestone by addressing themes often overlooked in mainstream music. The genre's evolution reflects the aspirations and frustrations of Burmese youth, particularly in light of the tragic execution of hip hop artist Zeya Thaw in July 2022. [Extracted from the article]
