Punk and Oi! Rebellion? Music and Commodification of the Youth Subcultures in Czechoslovakia at the Turn of the 1980–90s
Original language description
The paper aims to convey why there was an increased interest in punk music and related genres that became part of the mainstream in 1990, and the specifics of such popularity, by studying the transformation of the perception of punk music and related genres in the historical and social perspective. The paper elaborates on the theory that the boundaries between alternative creation and mainstream were more fluid at the turn of the 1980s and 1990s. For a short time, punk moved from the very edge to the centre of the music industry and become the focus of interest by mainstream media. The paper also brings forth some arguments why it was only a short phase. It points to the place of workers’ pub anti-aesthetics as an important cultural figure influencing the socialization of the generation of the “Husak’s Children”. What were the expert reflections of this music production, for example, in the form of music reviews released by official publishing houses? What role did the generational and class identifications of individual artists, music publicists, and fans play in the reception of punk? The research is based primarily on the analysis of official and unofficial music journalism, but also on interviews with the people involved.
