Odnajdując i tracąc miejsce. Łódzki underground wobec doświadczenia miejskiej codzienności.

Finding and losing a place. The Łódź underground against the experience of urban everday life The Łódź underground had emerged from the punk aesthetic, yet it ab- sorbed successive genres surprisingly quickly: hardcore, industrial, later also, among others, techno and rave. It utilized diverse forms of expres- sion: most of all sound, but also projections, site-specific actions, graphic design or fashion. The article, drawing from the memories and output of several most important participants of the movement, poses the ques- tion, in what way the underground so easily absorbed new genres and aesthetic patterns on the one hand, while on the other – it remained so strongly separate. The separation is revealed in the tension between experiencing new, experimenting musical and aesthetic trends, and the overwhelming eve- ryday life of the post-industrial city. This tension was the reason why the underground movement was so intensely performative in its character, in which new knowledge and new inspirations were mostly created in action.
