講綱：
[[[[馬來西亞地下音浪考掘：龐克世代的歷史與聲響]]]
自 1970 年代末以來，一股噪動聲浪漸漸在馬來西亞主流社會之外迴盪著。當時在馬來西亞半島東海岸，一群頂著 Mohawk 頭、足蹬皮靴的馬來青年，每週末聚集在瓜拉登嘉樓的總巴士站，交換彼此珍藏的卡帶、樂迷誌與服飾配件。這些龐克愛好者相約搭乘長途巴士，前往首都吉隆坡或鄰近的新加坡，在繁華城市的唱片行裡，搜尋著來自龐克與新浪潮的音樂卡帶和專輯。
隨著1980 年代馬來西亞經濟的蓬勃發展，越來越多年輕人紛紛湧入首都吉隆坡尋找一席之地。與此同時，1970 年代末席捲全球的伊斯蘭復興運動，也逐漸將馬來西亞社會撕裂為世俗與保守兩派。一邊是城市現代化與資本化的快速擴張，另一邊則是馬來民族主義與伊斯蘭主義的全面崛起，兩股力量交織，醞釀著一股翻騰的時代暗流。身處時代困局之中的馬來年輕人，卻在音樂次文化中尋覓到一種賴以生存的精神價值與慰籍。
這是一場關於時間與龐克噪音的旅程，由身歷其境的見證者 Joe Kidd 引領，探尋馬來西亞龐克與地下音樂場景的幽微歷史。講者 Joe Kidd 被馬來西亞地下音樂場景譽為「龐克之父」，他不僅是馬來西亞龐克運動的早期參與者，其創辦的樂迷雜誌《AEDES》、唱片公司 Sonic Asylum Records 與 A.G.E.，以及在《The Sun》報章上的音樂專欄《Blasting Concept》，皆在推動和記錄馬來西亞地下音樂發展的進程中，扮演著極為關鍵的角色。他的親身經歷與長期觀察，將揭示馬來西亞龐克音樂如何回應當時的社會氛圍，並在主流文化之外，建立起獨特的聲音與社群。
這是一場關於龐克社群的低語、關於 DIY 精神的吶喊、關於在既有秩序之外，創造自身聲音的渴望。

OUTLINE
====Excavating the Underground Roar: A History of Malaysia's Punk Generation and Its Sounds===
Since the late 1970s, a burgeoning sonic rebellion has echoed beyond the fringes of Malaysian mainstream society. On the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia, groups of Malay youth sporting Mohawk hairstyles and Doc Martens would gather every weekend at the Kuala Terengganu central bus station. Here, they'd trade their coveted cassettes, fanzines, and clothing accessories. These punk enthusiasts would then hitch rides on long-distance buses to the capital, Kuala Lumpur, or neighboring Singapore, embarking on pilgrimages to city record stores in search of punk and new wave music tapes and albums.
Fueled by Malaysia's economic boom in the late 1970s and 1980s, an increasing number of young individuals gravitated towards the capital, Kuala Lumpur. Simultaneously, the global Islamic revival movement of the late 1970s gradually fractured Malaysian society into secular and conservative factions. On one side, rapid urban modernization and capitalist expansion surged forward; on the other, a comprehensive rise of Malay nationalism and Islamism unfolded. The intersection of these powerful forces brewed a turbulent undercurrent of the times. Caught within this intricate web of circumstances, young Malaysians found in music subcultures a vital source of spiritual sustenance and solace.
This is a journey through time and the raw energy of punk noise, guided by firsthand witness Joe Kidd, as we delve into the nuanced history of Malaysia's punk and underground music scene. Revered as the "Godfather of Punk" within the Malaysian underground music circuit, Joe Kidd is not only an early participant in the Malaysian punk movement but also a pivotal figure in its documentation and progression. His seminal fanzine AEDES, his influential record labels Sonic Asylum Records and A.G.E., and his insightful music column "Blasting Concept" in The Sun newspaper all played crucial roles in shaping and chronicling the evolution of Malaysian underground music. His personal experiences and long-term observations will illuminate how Malaysian punk music responded to the prevailing social climate, forging its own distinct voice and community outside the mainstream.
This is a narrative woven from the whispers of the punk community, the defiant shouts of the DIY ethos, and the yearning to create one's own sound beyond the established order.
