Michael Azerrad-isms to live by

Nadeem Salaam·October 29, 2015
ISM'S TO LIVE BY

“DIY is purely a mode of production and distribution it has nothing to do with what is produced.” There is no grand philosophical consensus as to what constitutes DIY music, but scenes are birthed when local population agree on what “it” should be, and who “yourself” is ought to be. People congregate, networks are formed, ideas are exchanged, and art flourishes.” – Michael Azerrad
