Shikanane
Definition:
Shikanane (from Czech "šikana ne" = "no bullying") is a cultural concept born in the independent electronic music scene. It stands for collective love, total harmony, and an open-minded approach to creativity.
It rejects negativity and unnecessary criticism. Instead, it celebrates diversity, mixing genres like Italo disco, house, techno, IDM, EBM (Electronic Body Music), and acid — but it is not limited to music. Shikanane is about accepting things as they are and creating together.
