This volume examines the global influence and impact of DIY
cultural practice as this informs the production, performance and
consumption of underground music in different parts of the world.
The book brings together a series of original studies of DIY
musical activities in Europe, North and South America, Asia and
Oceania. The chapters combine insights from established academic
writers with the work of younger scholars, some of whom are
directly engaged in contemporary underground music scenes. The book
begins by revisiting and re-evaluating key themes and issues that
have been used in studying the cultural meaning of alternative and
underground music scenes, notably aspects of space, place and
identity and the political economy of DIY cultural practice. The
book then explores how the DIY cultural practices that characterize
alternative and underground music scenes have been impacted and
influenced by technological change, notably the emergence of
digital media. Finally, in acknowledging the over 40-year history
of DIY cultural practice in punk and post-punk contexts, the book
considers how DIY cultures have become embedded in cultural memory
and the emotional geographies of place. Through combining
high-quality data and fresh conceptual insights in the context of
an international body of work spanning the disciplines of
popular-music studies, cultural and media studies, and sociology
the book offers a series of innovative new directions in the study
of DIY cultures and underground/alternative music scenes. This
volume will be of particular interest to undergraduate students in
the above-mentioned fields of study, as well as an invaluable
resource for established academics and researchers working in these
and related fields.
