Abstract

Despite the vast research into investing in youth education, health, and wellbeing, little is known about youth culture in the underground scene in Indonesia. This article is a follow up study from my research about music gigs in cafes and bars in urban settings. Music gigs and art in the underground scene appear as a counterculture to regular events that are often seen on television or in other commercial places. Gigs are designed to create an oasis, so the creativity of the space can be accommodated as much as possible. Gigs are held in a wide variety of settings, from public places to more private areas, even to open spaces in more rural areas. Currently, gigs are no longer focused on issues of space, but the increased attacks on the freedom of art and expression. This study examines the effects of persecution conducted by faith-based organizations on underground gigs in Indonesia. In sum, this study emphasizes how artistic expressions should not fit into one frame. The Indonesian government should abide by their obligation to protect artists and all persons participating in artistic activities or in the dissemination of artistic creations from violence and gender discrimination by third parties.
