abstract = {The article is concerned with the transgressive dimension of the Pet Shop Boys’ works. As follows, the artists are situated in the cultural context that helps to understand their approach to popular music, with a focus on potentially transgressive aspects such as hybridisation, authenticity, maturity/adulthood, irony, androgyny, masculinity, and gayness. The case study to be presented here is The Resurrectionist, a song inspired by historical facts. Two possible readings of the song are suggested here; both tackle upon existing social norms, revealing their true nature and provoking the audience to question their validity.},
