This thesis aims to place Underworld in the context of Taiwan resistant music history, and want to figure out how Underworld contributes to the music and social awareness after the lifting of Martial Law. The owner of the Underworld had strong awareness of transitional justice; while after year 2000, cultural resistance become more and more important when we talk about resistance and protest. Generally speaking, Underworld gather people who love rock music and in the process of sharing the experience of watching rock performance, people will change their mind, open their mind when they experience music genre that they didn’t hear before, and we suppose this kind of experience is very important for emerging power of resistance.
The experience of Underworld has much importance for the succeeded owners in eperating their shops which we regard as places gathering people who care about their culture and society, like those existed cafe shops that hold forums with titles like transitional justice. This thesis aims for not only revealing the meaning of Underworld in Taiwan rock music history, but the more core purpose is to give some advices for the upcoming resistant spaces.
