In Indonesia, subculture tend to be associated negatively. However some of music band still exist and expanding even though with the kind of attribute that attached to them. The view from Pierre Bourdieu about cultural have been used by us to study capital conversion by Pyong Pyong, a music band in Pop Punk genre. This study offer novelty from the study orientation point of view, thus most of the previous study focus on visual commodification, as we offer the study of the dynamic of music agency in the music ecosystem. As for the data analysis, we conducted interview and documentation archive gathering. There are points that have been found that one of their advantages compare to other bands is their consistency. This consistency reflected by the high traffic earned by Pyong Pyong in the internet and social media. This achievement did not stand exclusively by built by inclusive pattern and with the sustainability principle. Future studies can explore comparative study with other Pop Punk bands from other cities such as Bandung, Surakarta, Yogyakarta, and many more to test generalization of the model, or inviting perspective from other Band in Semarang.
