Summary/Abstract: This article brings into discussion a successful band of the mid-1990’s, Pulp, known for its witty lyrics, daring messages, and, not least, original frontman. By its uncompromising view of British capitalist society, Pulpʼs music became synonymous with the criticism of the industrial city and the mockery of the people with low aspirations. The paper presents some of these instances, focusing on the categories of women that appear in the lyrics. The author is interested in the interconnection existing between women and their destitute urban environment: the former borrow features from the latter, and the other way round.
