Gender: MALE [ ] FEMALE [x]

Age: 16

Ethnicity: Australian (uh, I think my grandfather was Dutch, and my Grandmother was English. I think the other two had English and Scottish names, but were born here)

Family Situation (eg. Parents divorced, Remarried): Nuclear! 2 parents, one younger sister.

Favourite Music Genres: Anything and everything! Pop rock is good, but I also like Enya and Sarah McLaughlin.

Why do you listen to this particular genre of music? I like songs that sound nice, firstly, then ones where the people can sing, then ones with good or powerful lyrics, eg Youth of the Nation by POD. I also like fun songs like Hello by Cat Empire.

What is your parent(s)/caregiver(s) reactions to your choice of music? Doesn't really care, though they prefer stuff to their tastes.


Do you see yourself as similar to those bands/singers you idolise? Yes [ ] No [x]Why/Why not? Cuz everyones individual. Frankly, I dun know enough about them to draw conections.


How many hours, a day, do you spend listening to music and/or watching music videos? Maybe 1... less...

Do you believe that music provides a media for something to relate to? (eg. When you upset about a certain issue, you listen to a song with similar lyrics to that problem, and it helps you deal with it) Yes [x] No [ ]
Please explain Well, when you put it that way, some people might do it, but I don't.

Have you ever tried to copy lyrics from a song? (eg. The way you dress, your actions, taken a substance such as alcohol or drugs) Yes [ ] No [x] If so, what and why? That's just silly.


Is it in your beliefs that lyrics of rock music can be directly blamed for the rise of adolescent suicide? Yes [ ] No [XXX] How come? People don't kill themselves cuz someone told them too! That's just stupid. It's people who can't handle that maybe they're the ones who are doing something wrong that causes people to want to leave so they blame people who talk about it. It's kids lives that make them wanna kill themselves, not the music they listen to.
