Summary/Abstract: In this article the consumption of music is analyzed in the context of do-it-yourself (DIY) culture. DIY is a creative culture of music production that is opposed to mainstream production of music by corporations and industry. The author unfolds the notion of DIY culture in the sphere of music. DYI emerges as a form of protest to the mainstream music culture and to capitalism. Drawing from data of autoethnography, the author investigates the experience of participation in DIY music culture in Russia, DIY practices and their meanings from the participants’ point of view.
