| Abstract | ||||
| This paper delves into the linguistic analysis of Egyptian Electro-Chaabi music (ECM), also known as (Mahraganat) and its comparison with Electronic Dance Music (EDM). Drawing from sociolinguistics and cultural studies, the study explores the impact of these music genres on everyday language use, societal values, and cultural norms. It also investigates the behavioral changes in Egyptian society resulting from the widespread popularity of Electro-chaabi music, particularly in light of its influence on language and cultural practices. The significance of this research lies in its contribution to understanding the intricate relationship between music, language, and society, as well as its relevance to linguists, sociolinguists, educators, musicians, and researchers interested in the intersection of music and language. In the same context, the study carefully examines the usages of banded words in both electro-chaabi and electro dance music. When electro-chaabi only uses epithets, with no other categories used, electro dance music uses them extensively. The study emphasizes how these linguistic decisions reflect genre-specific culture and stylistic distinctions while serving a variety of purpose, including attracting attention, expressing disdain and questioning social convention. The study highlights significance of forbidden words in formatting emotional and thematic narratives by analyzing their societal and artistic effects, providing insights into the changing relationship between music and language. The next point addressed in the study is the use of sexual language in electro-dance and elecro-Caabi music, categorizing it into themes like sexual innuendo, descriptions of women’s bodies, words related to sexual interests and desires, and sexually suggestive content. | ||||
