I suppose that it would make sense, at the outset, to explain why I'm here and what I'm doing.
Hmm. This sounds boring.
My name is Sarah Walker. I live in New York City and all higher education left me with is a master's degree and a taste for sociology, more specifically, the sociology of fans.
I've been watching the emo/scene movement for a little while now, and I hit upon the brilliant(ly stupid) idea of writing an academic paper on themes of sexuality in the culture surrounding Panic! at the Disco. My friends, who are very smart, looked at me like I was crazy. Like they don't sometimes want to write academic papers for fun.
Instead, I started this. I plan on posting every so often, tying old research and new experiences to the emo landslide that's got the young people all excited. And I'd love to hear your thoughts too. Don't be shy!
