		DIY Culture is about people formulating their own lifestyles, creating their own systems, setting their own agendas, raising their own issues, using their own vocabulary and finding their own ways to deal with problems rather than waiting for someone else to do it.
		DIY Culture is associated with a revival of non-violent direct action: protests against the M3 extension through Twyford Down in Hampshire were a catalyst.
		Some DIY Culture is linked with the mainstream media, using innovative direct action to capture the attention of national newspapers, television and radio, thereby raising issues and stimulating debate.

		DIY is also associated with the international alternative and punk music scenes.
		The DIY scene we know today is actually a re-introduction (often to city and suburb dwellers) of the old pattern of personal involvement in home or apartment upkeep, or the making of clothing, or maintaining of cars, computers, or any material aspect of living.
		In response to this sort of insight, in the 1970s, DIY spread through the North American population of college- and recent-college-graduate age groups.

		Most DIY tasks are within the range of most people who can read and follow instructions, although DIY has been responsible for an increase in injuries at home.

	Punk DIY (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Ska and punk shared a strong DIY ethic, and later it became common to blend their sounds to create punk-ska.

		Many of the connotations of DIY refer to zine and record producing; however, there’s also the general sense that making or modifying clothes, accessories, and etc. This more general sense has strong connections to feminism in the DIY community as these skills were generally attributed to females in the past.

	DIY punk scene and veganism - Page 2 - The Vegan Forum - a vegan message board
		About DIY I agree with smoothie also if I think that there are also other things that need to be said: DIY is also an alternative to the capitalist commercial system and a way of distribution of music, documentations, material and so on around all the world thanks to its network.
		In the DIY scene you can't say that one is a punk from the look because there is all sort of different people and differencies are our strenght.
		Crust punk bands have taken on what is known as a DIY ethic: that is, "do it yourself." In this way one can bypass the traditional recording and distribution routes, with material often being made available in exchange for "a blank tape plus self-addressed envelope".

		The ethic is based on the belief that a person can survive with little or no participation in the consumerist culture of our dominant society.
		It is my understanding that the DIY ethic comes from the idea of not relying on the government, corporations, or organized religion to support your lifestyle.
		It is also related to the DIY ethic of doing things for yourself without reliance on the normal societal patterns of consumption.

	mediageek: DIY for Just $4.95 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		This short Wired News article directed me to the The DIY Report, a new subscription website with a focus on "on teaching people how to create, promote, protect and distribute independent film, music and books using online and offline techniques." Most of the content requires that you be subscribed, so it's hard to evaluate it.
		To me, DIY media is about independence and exploiting the freedom to be creative and critical when you're not beholden to a larger, more powerful interest, be it corporate, the state or even an NGO.
		That's not going to happen if DIY is really just independent folks working in parallel, using the same techniques and operating under the same assumptions.

		Exploring the socio-political ethics behind the history of the fanzine and the industries surrounding it, Spencer builds an evocative argument for the case against mainstream publishing.
		These days the Lo-Fi approach is applied to many radically different art forms: music, visual art, film, craft, writing, political activism, social protest – but with “DIY: The Rise Of Lo-Fi Culture”, Spencer concentrates on the arenas of words and music – two fundamental disciplines within which the DIY ethic has both history and future.
		The impact of technology has once again breathed new life into the spirit of DIY, and Spencer ably considers the implications and pitfalls of ‘the new’ on the ideals and beliefs of ‘the old’.

		The do-it-yourself ethic has been influenced by the punk rock subculture in America, in addition to being a crucial element of said subculture.
		This significantly refocused my search to include only information relevant to the do-it-yourself ethic in the past thirty years (the punk rock scene first emerged in New York City in the 1970s) rather than the last fifty years or more (the DIY ethic grew out of the postmodernism that followed World War II).

	PIXEL :: Features :: Punk and Hardcore
		Punk rock and hardcore music arose from an underground subculture in the '70s and '80s that wasn’t satisfied with society; it was music that had something to say and demanded attention.
		Though they wanted to be heard, they wanted it on their own terms and shunned commercialism in music, creating a strong do-it-yourself ethic (DIY).
		The music itself has evolved into new sounds in many instances, but they still demand to be heard and continue to adhere to a DIY ethic.

		If your site does not have genuinely useful DIY info, doesn’t offer services that are useful to the DIY community, and/or doesn’t serve a purpose that empowers people to create something, we’re not going to surf past three pages of popups to get to it.
		However, we have a pretty strict view of the DIY ethic here, and don’t want to become an advertising clearinghouse.
		If you’re a band label that started as a DIY and is now making a profit, yes, that still counts as DIY, but after a certain threshhold you should contact us to talk about sponsored link options; you’re who we had in mind.
