"Pertama-tama, prinsip kunci indie rock Amerika bukanlah gaya musik yang terbatas; itu etos punk dari DIY, atau do-it-yourself. Persamaannya sederhana: Jika punk memberontak dan DIY memberontak, maka melakukannya sendiri adalah punk. "Punk adalah tentang lebih dari sekedar memulai sebuah band," mantan bassis Minutemen Mike Watt pernah berkata, 'ini tentang memulai label, ini tentang tur, ini tentang mengambil kendali. Itu seperti menulis lagu; kamu lakukan saja. Anda ingin catatan, Anda membayar pabrik yang menekan. Itu tentang semua itu. '"

To begin with, the key principle of American indie rock wasn't a circumscribed musical style; it was the punk ethos of DIY, or do-it-yourself. The equation was simple: If punk was rebellious and DIY was rebellious, then doing it yourself was punk. 'Punk was about more than just starting a band,' former Minutemen bassist Mike Watt once said, 'it was about starting a label, it was about touring, it was about taking control. It was like songwriting; you just do it. You want a record, you pay the pressing plant. That's what it was all about.'
