Guna membangun pengetahuan sesuai dengan narasi musisi metal ekstrem muda, penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif, secara spesifik etnografi, antara April hingga Agustus 2019. Untuk mengartikulasikan dimensi konfliktual dan hierarkisitas skena metal ekstrem, penelitian ini menggunakan perspektif Bourdieusian. Adapun hasil analisis temuan lapangan menunjukkan bahwa, pertama, secara objektif, praktik bermusik musisi muda dimulai dalam kondisi dimana kesenjangan sosial telah eksis bahkan sebelum praktik tersebut terjadi. Hal ini menunjukkan karakteristik skena metal ekstrem sebagai ranah perjuangan yang bersifat hierarkis -terbentang dari leval lokal, nasional hingga global. Kedua, secara teoritis, praktik bermusik musisi muda dalam skena metal ekstrem membutuhkan dan mereproduksi kapital yang sangat spesifik terkait dengan rule of the game dalam skena tersebut, kami menyebutnya sebagai ‘kapital metal ekstrem’. Ketiga, muara dari proses akumulasi kapital metal ekstrem, kapital sosial dan kapital simbolik, serta proses embodiment mengenai kode-kode budaya terletak pada mekanisme reproduksi doxa skena metal ekstrem yang mengutamakan tiga nilai penting yaitu otentisitas, kemandirian dan komunitas. Adapun ketiga temuan tersebut merupakan manifestasi dari perlawanan skena metal ekstrem terhadap kuasa Negara dan pasar dalam era neoliberal

This study explores the struggle and its subjectivity among young people in Yogyakarta who choose being-musician as a way of life. Faced with limited job opportunity, they manage and keep alive their aspirations as mucisian in the local music scene. Their decisions to become musician embody a certain element of resistance against dominant view of work that encompasses the idea of a clear career projection. Even so, they do not always rely on the entrepreneurialism practice and do not neccesarily express class sentiment. Their diverse form of articulation is often constituted by construction of their subjectivity and lives trajectory. In this article, we use Hodkinson’s thought on ‘whole lives trajectories, Connel’s take on life in Global South and Beck’s theory on the redistribution of global risk to explore the subjectivity and plural voices of young musician in Yogyakarta. Based on the empirical data, we argue that throughout their lives trajectories, young musician intertwine with three social units that are unique to Global South context namely family, community, and wider social network either with subculture or post-subculture roots. In their lives trajectories—aside of those three social units—young musician are also faced with the redistribution of local and global risk.

In the KKN Periode 79 of Universitas Atma Jaya Yogyakarta, Kelompok 4 (the Fourth group) of Unit A was assigned to the Hargowilis Village, Kokap, Kulon Progo, Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta. Due to the spread of Covid-19 pandemic, this period of KKN was held online. Therefore all of this KKN period programs was written upon secondary data. Based on online inquiries, Kelompok 4 has found that Hargowilis has interesting natural resources, and one of it was called Waduk Sermo. Moreover, our findings shows that Waduk Sermo has a crucial problem regarding to waste. Along with becoming an issue for Waduk Sermo’ attractiveness, it also potent to raise ecological problem, especially related to soil fertility. Thus we decided to propose waste management program called 3R that are Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle. We hope that the implementation of this waste processing, aside with increasing environmental hygiene and public health, will also lead to the economic development of Hargowilis.
