Subcultures Questions

[faketeenspirit]

Hello there,

My name is Jo and for my University Cultural Studies course I am doing some ethnographic research on subcultures. I am trying to find some information about the goth subculture, if you could answer these questions then that would be great :)

Thanks,
Jo xx

How would you define yourself?

What bands do you listen to?

What books do you read?

What films/television do you watch?

Do you think your subculture is more intellectual than the norm?
How would you describe you style?

What do you think defines your subculture?

Do you see yourself as a purist?

Have you ever experienced any discrimination because of your style?

Have you ever experienced any sexism/homophobia within your group (and why do
you think that is)?

Would you say there is a sense of “tribal” togetherness in your group?

What are certain things that you like to do?

Do you believe you are stereotyped (and do you think you are a stereotype)?

Would you say there is a crossover with your subculture and other groups?

Do you see yourself as unique?

Greetings Peasant. Have you come to kneel before Zod? Do you bend you knees in supplication?

How would you define yourself?

Define? You seek to impose limits on the majesty of Zod? You shall be crushed! Kneel, I command it!

What bands do you listen to?

Zod bans things, he does not listen to bands. You shall pay for your temerity!

What books do you read?

In future all books shall be written only about the majesty of Zod. I may occasionally read them to remind myself of my glorious history.


What films/television do you watch?

I watch only your film 'Superman'. Soon I shall find this son of Jor El, and crush him, for you have revealed his secrets to me, feckless humans

Do you think your subculture is more intellectual than the norm?

I am ZOD! None Compare. Kneel before my ebullience!

How would you describe you style?

I reign destruction on my enemies.

What do you think defines your subculture?

Again, you question the power of Zod. Be wary foolish Plant Houston peasant...

Do you see yourself as a purist?

All will bend to the will of Zod. I will tolerate no exceptions, not even from this weasley Lex Luthor.

Have you ever experienced any discrimination because of your style?

Ah, yes, they cast us into the phantom zone.... but now, we are free and vengence will be mine!

Have you ever experienced any sexism/homophobia within your group (and why do
you think that is)?!

There are cowards everywhere that seek to defame the majesty of Zod... yet they shall KNEEL!

Would you say there is a sense of “tribal” togetherness in your group?

We are bound by the trechery of Jor El!

What are certain things that you like to do?

The joints of my war machine must always be oiled.... IN BLOOD!

Do you believe you are stereotyped (and do you think you are a stereotype)?

None dare cross Zod!

Would you say there is a crossover with your subculture and other groups?

What, you think I am too weak? That I need allies to complete my conquest of this world?

Do you see yourself as unique?

There can be only one Zod! Kneel before my divine might!

You weren't expecting a serious reply, were you? Good luck in pinning down any "results". Trust me, I've tried this already. Your best bet is immersion and note-taking, be sure to get yourself a guide (to sign you in to Slimelight) and don't let ANYONE know what you're up to.
