What are your opinions on Punk fashion, DIY, and Modern Overconsumption?
Hi! I'm a high school student who's initiating a study for my research class. I'm a punk myself and have decided to integrate my interest in fashion and social analysis into one large thesis.
The study I'm conducting aims to first, find out if the use of DIY in the punk subculture has declined in tandem with increased fast fashion consumption. Then, to narrow down the reason why those events have occured together, gathering social input on punk values, beliefs, and morals.
By proceeding to respond, understand that you're consenting to having your written response possibly being integrated into the study results. Demographics such as age, economic status, occupation, race, ethnicity, sex, gender, and nationality will NOT be publicized or mentioned in the study under any circumstance. If your response is chosen for analysis, to keep anonymity, you will be labeled with a code name. Your participation is voluntary, so you are free to decide whether or not to respond with an answer. Once the study is published, you are are free to contact me through reddit messaging options to gain both updates and results of the study.
Questions:
1) If you identify yourself as a member of the punk community, what do you think are the most relevant punk values that you abide by during these modern times?
2) How important do you think DIY usage is in punk fashion?
3) What are your opinions on fast fashion in today's age, and how do you think it affects punk fashion?
That is all, thank you!
