Summary/Abstract: The subject of this paperis the study of rock poetry as a separate segment of subcultural and anticultural phenomenon of rock. The relationship between rock poetry and the official poetry opens an opportunity to review and cancel the relationship between the center and margins, and thus an opportunity to problematize statements about the inferiority of the rock culture in the relation to the dominant culture, which results in abolishing the distinction and fixed boundaries between subculture and high culture. That will be presented through the analysis of Nikola Vranjkovic’s poetry, published in a collection of poems Zaovdeilizaponeti. From the standpoint of cultural materialism, we will find its indisputable connection to the historical context in which it was written, as well as the connection with a political interest. By emphasizing the social and ideological motives, we will show the main features of the rock as a sociological and cultural phenomenon, but through a method of textual analysis, with all validated traditional methods of analytical approach, we will justifie its legitimate presence in the entire poetry. Evaluating it by the aesthetic Lipar / Journal for Literature, Language, Art and Culture 151 criteria, with highlighting the hermetic and the tendency to demythologize and ironize, we will find that it does not belong to a separate area with specific rules of art, and therefore we will draw attention to the need for hierarchy of popular taste.
