DIY definition

DIY is an act of creating anything of self value through the hands. Its true value is understood through the emotion of relaxation and desire, and only through these emotions can true DIY entities exist. For without the proper emotions, true DIY cannot exist because DIY and emotions are interconnected. Societal duties is one conflict that strongly interferes with the flow of DIY/emotion bond, limiting the time and joy required for DIY projects. It is said that through societal duties or other duties, there is no fully DIY experiences, and only self duty, a duty to accomplish DIY can bring that emotion and experience.

DIY's role in todays digital culture is evolving quickly, but gains little acknowledgement, though it the act is commited. Through innovation, DIY has transform itself into an adaptive component of self and capital use, generating wealth, peace and popularity for the composer. DIY contributes to many aspect in society or contribute nothing to society at all, from protests to money to self satisfaction.

In the form of crativism, DIY products can greatly enhance the ideals of a particular movement.
DIY's role in tradition is to maintain it old, or either alter and abandon tradition for each generation and each individual. DIY craft can also be digital or mass produce throughthe hands for capital and for fame. In the homes and musuems it can be used for visible display and for human interactions. For the composer, DIY craft is used for self reflection and self satisfaction, even if the outside world never lay eyes upon it.


Question of true DIY  araises as these roles appear in society. Questions such as: is capital a contribution to DIY crafts or is craft for displacement and display true DIY because it doesn't contain the human interaction aspect? or is digital works DIY bacuase the traditional techniques are takened away from the process? Does mass production rid an original piece of its DIY aspects?

At the end of discussion, there are many support for each of these arguements, and its solution is only accepted through self explaination and self exceptance because every individual posseses their own belief of what DIY should be or is. Such as the WWII gen and the GEN X groups. Gen X believe that DIY can contain aspects of modernit and innovation, while the wwii group belief that DIY is solely base on tradition. I personally belive that DIY culture is an every day component of life,. The emotion of achieving something with the hands is present daily and thus so does DIY. The creation of anything through the hands with a desire to finish has the potential to become DIY.
