- Authors

- Abstract
As globally sprung up, punk subculture is evidence of how American influence has penetrated many life facets, including through youth culture. Indonesia becomes one of many countries that accept and practice the subculture. The discussion of the punk subculture in Indonesia can reveal the relationship between both countries, in which America becomes the powerful party while Indonesia is the submissive one. To find the American influence in the spread of punk subculture in Indonesia, Hall's representation theory is applied in the research. The theory is used in observing the punk community in both Indonesia and the US on Instagram platforms, particularly some posts that contain punk elements. By using qualitative method, the result of the research uncovers that Indonesia absorbs American punk elements in two ways: By assimilating it without adding other elements outside of punk and by integrating it into the Indonesian context. Both ways show the submissiveness of Indonesia in absorbing the foreign subculture. Yet, especially for the latter, it shows how Indonesia still has the power of resistance in accepting punk subculture by still maintaining mother cultural elements in practicing it, and in the end, it adds a new different color to the global punk scene.
