Hip hop culture emerged in the 1970s as the culture of the socially deprived groups, based on art forms and expressions. Hip Hop Macedonia is an organization dedicated to preservation of original values of hip hop culture. As such, its members developed mul­tidisciplinary art forms and a wide range of other cultural forms of a "hip hop generation", so they can maintain the core values of the culture in this period of society's transformation from modernism to postmodernism.
