Generacija 5 (Serbian Cyrillic: Генерација 5; trans. Generation 5) is a Serbian and former Yugoslav hard rock band from Belgrade.
Generacija 5 was officially formed on July 1, 1977 by Dragoljub Ilić (a former Korak member, keyboard), Slobodan "Boban Đorđević" (a former Korak member, drums), Jovan Rašić (a former Zlatni Prsti member, vocals), Dragan "Krle" Jovanović (a former Zdravo member, guitar) and Dušan "Duda" Petrović (a former Pop Mašina member, bass guitar). Dragan Ilić's brother, composer Sanja Ilić, after reading a newspaper article about fifth generation computers, suggested they should name the band Generacija 5.
They released their debut 7" single with songs "Novi život" ("New Life") and "Izgubljeni san" ("Lost Dream") in May 1978, and after the single release performed on the rock evening of Festival Omladina in Subotica. Soon after, Petrović left the band due to his army obligations, and was temporarily replaced by Miloš "Cajger" Stojisavljević. In 1979, Generacija 5 released their second 7" single with songs "Svemu dođe kraj" ("Everything Comes to an End") and "Noćni mir" ("Night Peace"). They performed at the music festival in Opatija and won the Best Use of Folk Music Elements Award. In October Rašić left the band, and was replaced by a former Zebra member Goran Milošević (brother of female rock singer Slađana Milošević), with whom the band moved towards more commercial sound. In November, they released their third 7" single with "Umoran od svega" ("Tired of Everything") and their cult ballad "Ti samo budi dovoljno daleko" ("Just Remain Far Enough"). At the time, their music was used in Zoran Čalić's movie Foolish Years.
