ABSTRACT

The paper entitled Hedonist Lifestyle in Music as Reflected in “Rock Star” Film by Stephen Herek’s is a story about American rock musician who is correlated with lifestyle such as sex, drugs, and fashion. The aim of this paper is to figure out how exactly the hedonist lifestyle takes a part on rockers life and behavior. This paper is expected to clarify some facts about the rockers, the life, and also how they gain their dream. While the problem I found in this paper based on movie is how huge the influence of the hedonistic lifestyle for their life.

The subject of this graduating paper is a film entitled “Rock Star”. The object of this graduating paper itself focuses on the hedonist lifestyle in American rock musician. To complete the main data and information, the writer here uses a library research and read the books related to the topic. These supporting data in this graduating paper is taken from the article, journal, internet, and film review. The data was analyzed using American popular culture, sociological, and historical approach.

The important notes of this paper are viewed into point, that rocker tends to have these hedonist lifestyle as their way to raise freedom and idealism, which are sex, drugs, and fashion. Sex for them is rebellion who is breaking society norm and a fighting symbol of calmness, while drugs is manifestation of freedom and also the tool to socialize and to establish public image of which is powerful and hard life. While in fashion, it becomes image to perform their social and personal identity. They cannot increase their creativity without it, because it has become lifestyle in their life.
