Summary/Abstract: This paper deals with popular (entertainment, dance or light) music in Yugoslav socialist discourses, in the period from 1945 to 1952. It is based on newspaper articles of the time, which provide insight into the ways in which the tension, contradictions and possibilities in everyday life related to music and dancing forms of entertainment, were identified. The analyzed data shows that there was an interaction of generative and restrictive practices in Yugoslav society. They indicate the way in which the image of popular music was shaped in the socialist discourse in the 1945–1952 period.
