Polish counterculture from the 80s had a quite specific character which was considerably different from the counterculture and alternative activities undertaken in the Western World. The aforementioned discrepancy was mostly visible in a declared anticommunist (and, in a broader sense, anti-leftist) attitudes, but also in the conservative world view (declared religiousness), lack of emancipation attitudes (for instance, in the realm of feminism or sexual minorities). Even the alternative circulation (outside the official channels) was more often chosen because of the objective difficulties caused by the communist system constrains. Due to that, declared by the activists principles and values were just a consequence of the existing situation. The authentic counterculture (in a way it is described in the West) started to crystalize in Poland only in the 90s. It was due to the new (younger) generation of activists that emerged back then. It is clearly visible upon analyzing the articles in underground fanzines from the late 80s and the early 90s.
