Hi everyone! I have chosen to focus on Straight Edge for my current module and need some primary / ethnographic work, so would be grateful if you could help me out with this questionnaire.
Just keep it real, and if you don’t feel like answering a certain question... then don’t. This questionnaire is not about exploiting what you believe in, but about enlightening people, and proving that there is another way of leading your life.
So here are the questions, if you’re up for it, please take a few minutes to answer them and send it back to me in a private message.
Name:
Gender:
Age:
City/State:
1. Do you consider yourself to be Straight Edge? If yes, since when? How and why did you become Straight Edge?
2. What is your personal background? (education, family…) Does it have a link with you being Straight edge?
3. Are you a member of a religion?
4. Do you have political opinions? If yes, what is their link to Straight Edge, according to you?
5. What does Straight Edge mean to you?
6. When have you first heard about Straight Edge? How did you discover it?
7. How many Straight Edge kids do you know?
8. In which shop do you prefer buying your clothes?
9. Do you consider yourself to be a member of a scene? Which one?
10. Do you feel like Straight Edge is strongly tied to music, or is it relatively independent from it?
11. What are your favourite kinds of music and favourite bands?
12. Are you a vegetarian or a vegan? Do you think vegetarianism or veganism is essential to be Straight Edge?
13. How important is the part played by Straight Edge in your life?
14. Have you ever felt pressure from non-Straight Edgers? Do you feel integrated to the ‘mainstream’? (in your job, with friends, at school…) Do you feel isolated from ‘mainstream’ because of your dedication to Straight Edge?
15. How often have you heard about Straight Edge in the news/media? How was it described? What was your feeling towards it?
16. Anything you want to add or say?
Thank you for taking your time!
