Nowadays, the names of rock bands as a separate class of onyms are not sufficiently investigated, unlike toponyms, ergonyms, zoonyms and other names. In order to identify the linguistic features of the names of rock bands, this work considers etymology, structural and grammatical classification, semantics and functional specifics of the Ya-kutsk rock band names, which may reflect the state of the spiritual and moral culture of the «informal youth group». The study can be the key to revealing the values of young people through cultural and social connotations.
