The alternative cultural movements that spread in the field of mass culture by means of subcultural activities throughout the 1980s represented a form of resistance against the dominant culture and a deviation from the repressive state supervision. Increasingly often, these movements would become subversive yet tolerated forms of expressing the political resistance against the inefficient ruling system of socialist self-management. They argued for creativity as well as for the new models of behaviour and ways of life. During the 1980s, the alternative cultural movements with their principal representatives formed a critical wave that contributed to the Republic of Slovenia overtaking the rest of the Yugoslav state as far as liberalisation, democratisation, and tolerance were concerned.
In its main part, this contribution focuses on the presentation of the more renowned representatives of the alternative cultural scene, especially on the complex cultural and artistic entity, the so-called "FV Conglomerate" – a creative theatre and music group in the 1980s, which brought together the topical social contents and innovative technical and artistic means. Furthermore, in the context of the so-called "Disko FV" club programme, the group united and presented a diverse cultural and artistic production; provided the space where the alternative public could socialise; and documented the events by means of its own video production activities.
