So this is from a few weeks ago, when the DIY punk group destroyed a Denny’s. When you say DIY do you mean ‘do it yourself’ like, crafts? People who make punk,,, crafts tore up a Denny’s or does DIY stand for something else
jkglfd;shgjhrietehjgfdal okay i’m going to give you a real answer too but first of all i am LOSING MY MIND over the idea of a bunch of like. pinterest craft moms going apeshit on a denny’s holy shit that is so fucking funny
“DIY” in the context of the Denny’s incident refers to an artistic and cultural movement. rather than allowing industry professionals/labels/corporations/big business to take advantage of your art, talent, time, and resources to make themselves money, you simply do whatever they would have done yourself. example: you’re in a band. you want to reach an audience and play shows and record music, but you don’t have the money, connections, or “image” to get anywhere within the traditional music industry structure (i.e., signing to a label). so you decide to buy a bunch of secondhand gear off reverb, and record an EP in your friend’s bathroom. you mix it on your laptop with garageband, design an album cover with gimp (or just scan a picture your buddy drew or w/e), and slap the whole thing up on bandcamp. you burn a couple CDs to give to people if they want them. now say you want to play a show, because that’s the whole point of being in a band, but the house of blues isn’t gonna let a group of punk ass nobodies play on their stage, so you shlep all your secondhand gear over to your friend’s basement while their parents are out of town, or over to a warehouse downtown that’ll let you rent their space for cheap, and you call all your other friends who are also in bands and ask if they want to play with you because then you can divvy up the cost between more people. you make flyers and make like 100 copies of them at the library, or maybe you just make a post on your insta about it, and people have to DM you for the address because technically the warehouse you rented isn’t up to code for hosting public performances and the cops will def shut you down if they find you out. you charge like five bucks at the door and make it a BYOB thing. you play to a crowd of maybe twenty or so people, and you sound like shit because your gear sort of sucks and your sound guy is actually just whoever’s in the sweet spot of most musically inclined and least stoned out of the group. you all scrape together just enough cash to pay the warehouse and get del taco after.
DIY is the life blood of the punk and queer communities. it gives people who otherwise would have a hard time getting their art seen and their voices heard a platform that they can control and it’s a really, really great thing
