Title
Punk: The Do-It-Yourself Subculture Research Paper
Subject
History of Punk DIY culture
Description
The punk movement is often viewed as a youth culture based on teen adolescence angst. However, punk as a subculture
goes much further than rebellion and fashion as punks generally seek an alternative lifestyle divergent from the norms of
society. The do-it-yourself, or D.I.Y. aspect of punk is one of the most important factors fueling the subculture. Independent
record labels, the D.I.Y. press, and the D.I.Y. venues are what have kept the punk subculture alive since the late 1970s. The
creation of the punk subculture has allowed individuals who seek an alternative lifestyle to thrive. The D.I.Y. record labels and
independent pressing system creates a social network that allows for punk music and ideologies to be distributed. This social
networking allows punk bands to travel from city to city playing at D.I.Y. venues and fueling the overall subculture.
