DO IT YOURSELF (DIY)
DO-IT-YOURSELF (DIY)
Do it yourself (DIY) is a term used to describe building, modifying,
or repairing of something without the aid of experts or professionals.
The phrase "do it yourself" came into common usage in the 1950s in
reference to home improvement projects which people might choose to
complete independently.
DIY is related to the Arts and Crafts movement, in that it offers an
alternative to modern consumer culture's emphasis on relying on others
to satisfy needs.
The DIY movement is a re-introduction (often to urban and suburban dwellers)
of the old pattern of personal involvement and use of skills in upkeep of a
house or apartment, making clothes; maintenance of cars, computers, websites;
or any material aspect of living.
Subculture
The terms "DIY" and "do-it-yourself" are also used to describe:
Self-publishing books, zines, and alternative comics
Bands or solo artists releasing their music on self-funded record labels
Trading of mixtapes as part of cassette culture
Crafts such as knitting, sewing, handmade jewelry, ceramics, etc.
Designing business cards, invitations and so on.
Creating punk or indie musical merchandise through the use of recycling thrift
store or discarded materials, usually decorated with art applied by silk screen.
Independent game development and game modding
