“…12 The pros of studying punk music as a subcultural manifestation have been reported previously. 6,12 As highlighted in mental health studies from other musical subcultures, 13 underrepresented communities have worse mental health outcomes, a higher risk of mental health problems and lower use of mental health resources. Additionally, stigma is common in underserved communities.…”

“…5 Examples of intertextuality in Spanish rock music have been previously described. 6,7 The evolution of the concept of intertextuality has been brilliantly addressed by Martínez 8 and critically evaluated by Irwin. 9 Trivialisation is the act of making something seem less important, serious or difficult than it really is.…”

Summary Previous research remarks on the role of the mass media in shaping our world-view and values. It is relevant for the psychiatric field since the literature suggests that the media and artistic representations emphasise violent and criminal behaviours of people with mental disorders. In contrast to the study of other artistic manifestations, depictions in music are much less explored. This article examines the subcultural portrayals of psychiatry-related violent and criminal behaviours in Spanish popular music; particularly, the dimensions of intertextuality and trivialisation. These aspects are relevant since trivialisation may contribute to a distorted and oversimplified view of mental disorders, while intertextuality can play a role in the dissemination, amplification and reinforcement of social beliefs regarding psychiatric problems.

“…Adicionalmente, cobran interés aspectos demográficos (como la vinculación de la música punk con la población adolescente y adulta joven, un período particularmente sensible para el debut de trastornos mentales). Existen descripciones en la literatura de experiencias vitales que relacionan el punk en particular, y el rock en general, con la psiquiatría y los trastornos mentales 22,23 . Del mismo modo, existen datos públicos en España (biografías, entrevistas y documentales) que vinculan la subcultura punk con experiencias personales de trastornos mentales y/o tratamiento psiquiátrico entre sus exponentes, incluyendo trastornos psicóticos, trastornos por uso de sustancias y conducta suicida 23 .…”

Resumen El estudio de las descripciones de los trastornos mentales en la música es escaso, pese a que la reproducción de visiones estigmatizantes puede afectar la búsqueda de tratamiento. El propósito de este artículo es describir los usos y significados de la locura en el punk español como base para la comparación con otros ámbitos. Análisis de contenido. Se revisó las letras de 3.653 canciones buscando los vocablos “loco”, “locura” y otros relacionados. Se identificó 174 obras, analizadas posteriormente por dos codificadores. El manual de codificación abarcó 28 códigos para 4 categorías: usos, sentidos y significados de la locura; tema central de la canción; término “loco” en frases hechas; el loco como personaje. Primaron los usos de la locura como descontrol, desenfreno e impredecibilidad. Entre las frases hechas, también fueron más frecuentes las asociaciones con descontrol. El vocablo loco predominó como expresión de cualidad. La comparación con datos previos sugiere que las ideas de la locura como “patología”, “pérdida de control” y “oposición a la razón” tendrían mayor universalidad. Los aspectos identitarios del punk español fueron el telón de fondo para los contenidos identificados, emergiendo la locura como seña de identidad y manifestación de alteridad.

“…A systematic and replicable methodological framework is crucial for overcoming the purely anecdotal character of the research on social representations of mental illness in popular culture 12 . In this way, the use of content analysis, as a research method, is growing, particularly when it comes to literature analyzing representations of substance use disorders in popular culture (e.g.…”

Research about the depictions of psychiatry and mental disorders in popular culture has been scarce and often lacks systematized research strategies. However, this tendency has changed in the last few years and it is now possible to find articles which investigate the social representations of mental illness through the analysis of the media, music, films, and other artistic manifestations. One possible indication of the emerging relevance of this topic is the inclusion of the MeSH term 'Medicine in the Arts' in the database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine in 2018. The study of the products of popular culture can give us information about common ideas present in the social imaginary regarding mental disease. One advantage of this type of study is the public character of the data. In addition, the fact that artistic productions persist over time enables access to information which could not be gathered through other qualitative research designs. In this way, the products of popular culture could be seen as what I call 'cultural fossils', which can be traced back' to the historical time in which they were produced.
