Summary/Abstract: The article’s essence was the assessment of 45 years of the Polish People’s Republic, emerging from the rock press, both immediately after the fall of communism and in later years. Contrary to appearances, magazines popularizing rock and its related genres did not limit their topics to musical issues; for this reason, the long-awaited regaining of freedom, including the freedom of speech, also in print, almost automatically triggered the need to confront the past era. Editors, publicists, columnists, and commentators, whose original style and colourful language enriched the content, presented their opinions, thus providing – from today’s perspective – an additional source of information about the Polish People’s Republic, the transformation and the beginnings of the Third Republic of Poland.
