Can you make any general conclusions about your subculture as of right now? And if so, what are those conclusions? Do you think that what you have been observing is specific to the particularly community in which your subculture resides, or do you think it would be the same even if you observed that subculture in a different community (i.e. is being a server at Ruby Tuesday's the same everywhere? Would a club like the BSU Tennis Club or Campus Crusade for Christ conduct itself in the same way at Kent State? Do the same rituals, beliefs, behaviors, etc. surround all tattoo parlors? etc. etc). Think about how geography, demographics, political and religious positions, etc. play a role in influencing members of a particular subculture.
Some general conclusions that I have reached are that everyone in the band is committed to sounding good, also, all members love music and it plays a major role in each of our lives. I think a different genre of music might produce a different set of people. However, I have noticed that most musicians tend to do the same things. They tune their instruments, set up, and when it comes to off-stage life, many musicians fall into the fate of "drugs, sex, and rock 'n' roll." I think that since we are all from Indiana, we share the same mentalities on socioeconomic problems. For example, if Chris breaks his guitar, the band will suffer until he can make enough money to buy a new one. And, since we are all independent, we all would understand his situation, even though we don't play his instrument.
