Collection: Diy
DIY is a vibrant, grassroots musical movement characterized by its raw, unfiltered approach to music-making, where artists prioritize creative authenticity over commercial polish. Emerging from underground scenes like Indie Garage Rock and Queercore, DIY embraces a decentralized ethos that spans global punk and indie communities, from Polish and Ukrainian punk scenes to the intimate Bedroom Skramz genre. Rooted in independent spirit, these musicians often record on lo-fi mediums like cassette tapes, championing local scenes from Olympia, WA to Limerick, Ireland, and spanning diverse geographic landscapes including Taiwan, New Zealand, Malaysia, and small indie pockets in cities like Lawrence, KS and Orlando. The genre celebrates musical independence, technological accessibility, and a punk-inspired ethos of self-production, where barriers between musicians and audiences blur, and raw emotional expression takes precedence over technical perfection.
