One of the most important challenges of Afghan immigrants in Iran is to provide a definition of "self". This issue continues with more severity for the second generation of Afghan immigrants living in Iran. The effect of music on the identity of immigrants in Iran and its role in integrating them with the host society is a topic that has not been given enough attention. Data collection in this research has been done through library sources and fieldwork. Field studies has been realized through finding the gathering place of artists and musicians and conducting interviews with them.
The second generation of Afghan immigrants living in Iran has a mixed identity and at the same time considers itself to belong to several geographies and cultures. Afghan immigrants in Iran are in a complicated situation, because the Iranian part of this identity is in crisis and the other side, the Afghan part, has no objectivity and has not been recognized by the host society. Music is present both in the course of discourses and systems that impose identity on people, and as a tool to resist them. The first generation of Afghan immigrants tries to impose their traditional identity on the next generation through Afghan folk music, and on the other hand, the second generation of Afghan immigrants uses Pop, rock and rap music as a means of resistance. This issue can be examined from different aspects; on one hand, because of the generation gap that exists and that young people want to show their identity differently, the difference is that they want to bring their cultural identity to the fore regardless of their national and ethnic identity. on the other hand, the tendency of the second Afghan generations toward these genres can simultaneously be interpreted as an effort to connect with their peers in Iran to join the global Genres.
The new generation of immigrants want to determine their own destiny and not surrender to destiny. Therefore, they need to find another musical space with which they can express their identity. For this reason, because folk music, with its special characteristics, has not been able to meet the needs and desires of the new generation of Afghan immigrants, the efforts of this new generation to choose a new music genre can be interpreted as an effort, in order to change or improve their status in society. In the cultural programs of the diaspora community of Afghans living in Iran, which are held in official spaces, only folk music accompanied by traditional instruments is present. This issue can indicate the presence of the first generation of immigrants in the cultural sectors of the Afghan diaspora society, which is trying and insisting on keeping traditional music alive and preserving what it considers to be authentic identity. While we are witnessing a more informal flow of the musical life of the Afghan diaspora community in Iran, where pop, rock and rap genres are often used. In this article, the rap group Qalam, the rock group Arikin were investigated.
