Hi, I am currently in the middle of my dissertation which is focusing on fandom, specifically that of Morrissey’s male fans and the connection they have which makes it like no other.
Being an avid Morrissey fan and follower myself I felt this forum was the best suited for my questions.
I would appreciate it immensely if any of you could spare a few minutes of your time to answer as few or many of my questions as possible or even just post an overall opinion/summary of what you feel. It will be of great help.
Once again, many thanks in advance and I appreciate you taking the time looking.
- What is it about Morrissey that makes you call yourself a fan?
-How important is your fan identity to you? Is it of a personal nature or all about Morrissey?
- Would you consider Morrissey to be a part of your own identity?
- With regards to your personal identity, do you try to be like Morrissey or does his personal views/lifestyle have an impact on yours?
- In today’s contemporary society, do you feel that Morrissey brings the news regarding his viewpoints and general information to the media or that the media subject and target Morrissey as news?
- Considering your own personal experiences and knowledge regarding Morrissey, do you consider Morrissey in any form as a religious figure/or have any similarities?
/
- As a fan of Morrissey, do you yourself consider Morrissey’s following to be something of a religious following/cult in any way?
- Do you personally regard Morrissey as a celebrity or as an intellectual figure in today’s modern artistic culture?
- What is different about Morrissey fans and what is required in your own opinion to be considered a ‘genuine’ or ‘real’ fan of Morrissey?
