Wspólne drogi kultury sowizdrzalskiej i muzyki punkowej
Common paths of plebian culture and punk music

Summary/Abstract: The article addresses the connections between plebeian literature and contemporary post-punk. It analyses the similarities between the song Adelaide and an excerpt from the Conversations that King Solomon the Wise had with Marcholt the fat and bawdy, demonstrating the similarities between punk culture and plebeian literature. Based on his analysis, the author juxtaposes the ideological background of the texts, which turn out to be a critique of the myth of love: both the late medieval conception and its transpositions present in contemporary culture. It turns out that pop culture, like grassroots plebeian culture, feeds on highly artistic cultural models. At the same time, both modes of expression, the plebeian and the punk, expose the world of high culture as incompatible with reality and life in the strictest of senses.
