ABSTRACT

In the digital convergence culture (Jenkins, 2006) and in the network society (Castells, 1996), the theories of personal branding, social identity, and the two-step flow of communication have become intertwined to create a model through which individuals and musicians share and embrace music. This paper examines the rise of social network for music involving both the practices of use and consumption and those of creation, sharing and distribution of innovative and independents musical reality. Social media have introduced radical changes in social and musical practices increasing the ability of creation from the bottom in contrast to mainstream. Moreover, thanks to performativity, collaboration and participation offering by Web 2.0, fit fully in culture “DIY 2.0” offering an interesting chance for the emerging underground music.
