“…Even less so are researches that specifically discusses indie music in Indonesia (Baulch, 2002;Moore, 2013;Barendregt and Zanten, 2015;Luvaas, 2020). However, the majority of this research agrees that attention to music and its relation to socio-political issues in Indonesia increased after the '98 Reformation era.…”

“…In its history, alternative music in Indonesia has long been used as a means of resistance against an authoritarian regime (Baulch, 2002;Sen and Hill, 2006;Martin-iverson, 2012; Barendregt and Zanten, 2015;Luvaas, 2020). Indonesian alternative music, which began to proliferate after the deregulation of the television stations and media ownership, became a symbol of resistance against order and conformity, two main characteristics of the new order regime (Sen and Hill, 2006).…”

“…Both in terms of lyrics and performative appearance, alternative music often shows blatant rejection of the establishment, control, and worship of the concept of development which is always echoed incessantly by the New Order government. Along with the collapse of the Soeharto regime in 1998, the landscape of the Indonesian music industry underwent significant changes (Baulch, 2002;Weintraub, 2008;Barendregt and Zanten, 2015;Luvaas, 2020). The strength of large label companies in the Indonesian music industry is slowly eroded by technology development, allowing musicians to produce, record, and distribute their work more easily.…”

This study sought to examine any form of criticism and resistance against the growing religious intolerance in Indonesian contemporary indie songs. The study of indie music is often marginalised in media and communication studies, even though the music itself is an effective form of media to convey socio-political messages. Indie music shows an increasingly crucial role within the map of cultural products in Indonesia mainly because it is considered an important means of conveying messages and alternative media for new Indonesian youth. Indie musicians cover sensitive issues within their lyric, including religious intolerance perpetrated by conservative Muslim groups in Indonesia. Through the discourse analysis method by Teun Van Dijk, this study found three forms of resistance discourse found in Indonesian indie music: a critique towards middle-class Muslims hypocrisy, rejection against the imposition of the sharia law, and the lament over the loss of humanity in religious practice. The research findings show that indie songs serve as a medium of resistance to a more secular, youthful audience against many issues seldom covered in mainstream media.

“…25 This cosmopolitanisation of the music-oriented youth cultures in Solo certainly helps to legitimate, in cultural terms, the increasing wealth of indigenous Indonesians (see Heryanto 1999 andBaulch 2002). In my PhD dissertation (2009) I describe how Agus's classmates and neighbours openly contest the value of being borju, which in turn influences his own behaviour and reflection.…”

“…Dalam konteks Indonesia, metal lebih banyak ditempatkan dalam kerangka kontestasi ideologis dengan kelompok elit dalam ranah ekonomi-politik. Baulch (2002;, menjelaskan bahwa awal perkembangan metal dalam level nasional di Indonesia, diwarnai dengan kriminalisasi dan politisasi. Kriminalisasi muncul ketika terjadi kerusuhan dalam konser Metallica di Jakarta pada tahun 1993, akibatnya metal diidentikan dengan premanisme oleh rezim Orde Baru yang berkuasa pada saat itu.…”

Beside, this article also attempt to elaborate the survival startegy of the metal agents in Yogyakarta to maintain the Do-It-Yourself practice.

This article is based on an ethnographic research, which utilized praticipant observation and in-depth interview as data collecting methods. The data collection process was carried out of six months.The findings based on the field research show that the resistance practice of metal agents in Yogyakarta was manifested through discursive and musical consumption practices.
