This paper is focused on alternative rock music in the 1980s and the 1990s in Slovakia. Within this field, the author concentrates on the specific area of the theatrical dimension of the concerts and music videos of various bands (Chór vážskych muzikantov, Karpatské chrbáty, Ľahká Múza, Bez ladu a skladu, Teória Odrazu, Jesus Underground Band, and Chiki liki tua). He interprets the eccentricities, bizarreness, and excesses of their poetics in the context of the theories of “culture from below” and “DIY culture”, as well as of defiance, criticism, and, especially, parrhesia (Michel Foucault) – open, direct speech, which is associated with various risks but, at the same time, allows one to acquire dignity. From the perspectives of music, visuals, and worldview, the eccentricities of alternative rock in the aforementioned period were expressions of inner freedom and the need for alternative articulations of a different way of life and a different artistic expression.
