Don't worry folks, I'm the one doing the writing! Both my pop culture professor as well as my anthropology prof have been asking a lot of questions about both my personal choices that lead to my "gothdom" for lack of a better word, as well as the subculture as a whole.
In order to try and make it...understandable (and not make it the size of an encyclopedia)....I'm going to base in a metaphor that is City Club.
This paper (and scientific journal article) will be SCHOLARLY and factual, my personal biases being removed as best as possible. Since I'm relatively new to the goth world, this should be relatively easy to avoid.
So, I guess what I'm asking for is people who would be willing to be interviewed (either by email, skype, in person, over the phone, etc). If I interview you at CC, you WILL get a free drink out of me (assuming you're old enough).
I'd like to inverview a vast array of people if possible: men, women, old (*cough* Troy *cough* ), young, as well as members of the various "sects" of gothdom (for lack of a better phrase).
If anyone would be comfortable being interviewed by me, please either drop me a post or a pm, I'd be really grateful!
Thanks so much!
