Magdová, Marcela ; VEDRAL, Jan (advisor) ; ULLRICHOVÁ, Daria (referee)

The analysis of the work of the four chosen authors and the context of its creation confirms the initial thesis of the gradual convergence of the original subcultural phenomenon with the mainstream. In conclusion, the thesis attempts to name the circumstances that led to the change of the authors’ strategies and thus generally to the transformation of the mainstream subculture.
