	DIY ethic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The DIY ethic is loosely tied to punk and various anticonsumerist movements, inasmuch as it amounts to a rejection of the idea that one must always purchase the things that one wants or needs from others.
		DIY questions the uniqueness of the expert's expertise, and promotes the ability of the ordinary person to learn to do more than he or she thought was possible.
		DIY artists share much more in common with and are thus more able to reach out to their audience than "arena rockers".

		In the 1970s, DIY spread through the North American population of college- and recent-college-graduate age groups.
		The DIY industry has grown markedly since the 1980s as DIY has become a popular weekend pastime for people wanting to improve their living conditions (and the value of their house) without the expense of paying someone to do it.
		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.

	Hardcore punk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Hardcore punk (or hardcore) is an intensified version of punk rock usually characterized by short, loud, and often angry songs with exceptionally fast tempos and chord changes.
		Like the British punk wave of 1976 to 1978, American hardcore was initially a tight-knit movement that evolved into an enduring genre.
		Some people though, consider the hardcore and punk scenes today to be elitist, as well as divided among those who's views vary on issues ranging from politics to DIY ethics.

	Punk zine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A punk zine (or punkzine) is a fanzine devoted to punk rock music, bands, or the DIY punk philosophy.
		The earliest UK punk zine was probably Sniffin' Glue, produced by punk fan and founder of the band Alternative TV, Mark Perry in 1976.
		However, the magazine never applied this term to itself, and indeed it is thought that it did not come into use until the early 1980s.

		A DIY promoter/organiser, who is often an artist herself/himself, will, however, have the freedom to promote (in the sense of putting them on a bill or recording and distributing music) whatever artist they like, as they haven't set themselves the goal of making money from the venture.
		Within the DIY scene, the task of promoting/organising is a valuable one as it provides artists with a forum to produce their art without having to have the time/skills/connections/knowledge to be able to arrange a gig or record and distribute their music.
		Despite its name, the DIY ethic is not necessarily about doing everything yourself, it is about providing artists with a forum to play and be heard without the confines of being financially profitable.

	Anarchism
		In Britain this was associated with the punk rock movement; the band Crass is celebrated for its anarchist and pacifist ideas; of note is also the Sex Pistols ' hit Anarchy in the UK In Denmark, the Free City of Christiania was created in downtown Copenhagen.
		Punk rock is one movement that has taken much inspiration from the often potent imagery and symbolism associated with anarchism and situationist rhetoric, if not always the political theory.
		In the past few decades, anarchism has been closely associated with the punk rock movement, and has grown because of that association (whatever other effects that has had on the movement and the prejudiced pictures of it).

		Punk Culture as we know it originated as a counterpoint to the prevailing culture of corporatism- corporatism, in the sense of relying on consensual standards and artificial entities for human organization.
		The punk ethic is essentially creative, because it offers a model to those who wish to have opportunities for expression independent of questionable support networks such as corporate sponsorships and contracts.
		While punk ethics have permeated virtually every artistic medium, the nature of contemporary real estate is generally hostile towards local variation.

		Punk ideology views the world and most that are in it as deeply corrupt and wrong.
		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.

		However, while the early punk scene appropriated anarchist imagery mainly for its shock value, the band Crass expounded serious anarchist and pacifist ideas, and were to become a notable influence within various late-twentieth century protest movements.
		Many anarcho-punk bands, especially at the local level of unsigned groups, have taken on what is known as a "DIY" ethic: that is, Doing It Yourself; indeed, a popular Anarcho-punk slogan reads "DIY not EMI", a reference to a conscious rejection of the major record company of that name.
		Again, these were usually very much 'DIY' affairs, tending to be produced in runs of hundreds (at most) rather than thousands (although there were exceptions, such as Toxic Graffiti, printed on photocopiers or duplicator machines, and distributed by hand at punk gigs.

		Anarchists have often been portrayed as dangerous and violent, due mainly to a number of high-profile violent acts including riots, assassinations, and insurrections involving anarchists.
		The use of terrorism and assassination, however, is condemned by most anarchist ideology, though there remains no consensus on the legitimacy or utility of violence.

		From punk fans to a punk band was obviously the most natural transition made by these clever kids with their hearts and minds all focused upon one common goal: to make music for change.
		With musical influences ranging from early punk pioneers such as Minor Threat and Bad Religion to current punk icons Rancid and NOFX it's obvious what has fueled the fire of Backside to continue what they are doing while remaining true to themselves and all in their surroundings.

		I guess punk has slowly submerged back in to the underground a bit with the explosion of all these pop bands on the scene here in the late 90's and early 00's.
		Some of the punk bands today like Blink 182 and Green Day who are in the mainstream got there because they did earn their way there by playing many, many shows before they ever hit it big...and who knows what or why these specific bands were chosen to be admired by mainstream media and public.
		In the 70s, early punk rock was a response to a similar lack of genuineness and feeling in the music of that era.

		These zines, and the movement, are characterized by sexual and gender diversity; dissatisfaction with a consumerism consumerist culture, proposing a DIY punk ethic DIY/ ethos in its place; and opposition to religious and political repression.
		During this early period of queercore, during the late 1980s to the 1990s, many of the punk bands involved were not necessarily queer but their political ideals included support for this cause.
		However, it was the shock tactics and confrontational attitude of early punk and industrial bands that Queercore employed, rather than activism or politics, since those engaged in the scene were not seeking acceptance from society but rather to condemn it.

		Sniffin' Glue is the name of a famous and pioneering monthly punk fanzine started by Mark Perry in July 1976 and released for about a year.
		Initially the fanzine sold about 50 copies and when its circulation rose to 15,000 Perry decided to close it because he was afraid to be absorbed into the mainstream rock journalism.
		NME acclaimed "Sniffin' Glue" as "the nastiest, healthiest and funniest piece of press in the history of rock'n'roll habits" and it really became the true chronicle of the early days of British punk rock as well as pioneering the DIY punk ethic.

		Moreover, it was believed by these die-hard hardcore punks that these new long-haired interpreters of hardcore were merely engaging in contrivance and attempting to mimic emotions, such as raw anger, that they truly did not feel.
		Many hardcore bands branched out and began experimenting with other styles, moods and concerns as their careers progressed in the 1980's; the music of many of these bands are some of the earliest examples of what became known as alternative rock.
		Some people though, consider the hardcore and punk scenes today to be elitist, as well as divided among those whose views vary on issues ranging from politics to DIY ethics.

		And I was only a child in the 1980’s when a network of talented underground, independent bands struggled to have their music heard in spite of the corrupted sales-minded music industry.
		They were not the first band with the DIY punk ethic to reach mainstream acclaim—REM had done it a few years before, albeit not to the same widespread effects.

	Definition of Record label
		On the punk rock scene, the DIY punk ethic encourages bands to self-publish and self-distribute.
		This approach has been around since the early 1980s, in an attempt to stay true to the punk ideals of doing it yourself and not selling out to corporate profits and control.
		Such labels have a reputation for being fiercely uncompromising and especially unwilling to cooperate with the Big Five record labels at all.

		Post-hardcore, as the name might suggest, is a musical offshoot of the hardcore punk movement.
		The earliest appearances of the genre were in Washington, D.C. in the mid- to late-1980s (see the era's releases on Dischord Records, for example), though it was not widely known until the early 1990s.
		It shares with its hardcore roots an intensity and social awareness as well as a DIY punk ethic, yet eschews much of the unfocused rage and loose, sometimes amatuerish musicianship of punk rock.

		When you do it yourself, whether "it" be redoing your kitchen, putting out a record, or building a web site, you have no one but yourself to blame for the results.
		A few months ago, Punk Planet ran a feature about "radical librarians" (as a good librarian I must tell you it was in issue no. 52) which got me to thinking about what, exactly, a "diy librarian" might be.
		But, a diy librarian would tell you that no pre-packaged library system ever does everything that you want it to.
