This paper explores the sonic dimensions of cultural memory through the lens of popular music, understood as a site where social, historical, and affective meanings are nego-iated. Focusing on the post-Yugoslav space, it examines how mainstream rap articulates a shift from memory-saturated narratives\u2014especially those marked by political conflict and collective trauma\u2014toward an \u201cendless now\u201d characterized by apolitical materialism and hedonism. Drawing on big-data lyric analysis, the study interrogates this temporal transformation not as a complete rupture, but as a layered reconfiguration of memory practices. We argue that the market-driven internationalism of regional (t)rap music still harbors residual and rearticulated forms of
\nboth individual and collective re-membrance. In this way, sound becomes not only a vehicle of forgetting but also a resonance chamber for suppressed or transformed histories, embedded in new affective and commercial regimes.<\/p>\n
