1. In this scene my informant and I are in the study lounge. We are sitting on the couches both pulling all nighters our eyes are puffy showing lack of sleep. We go out to have a cigarette and then go back in the study lounge to conduct the interview. My informant is a peer, a friend, a smoker, and a fellow insider of this subculture.

2. Music is a heavy influence on my informant along with his family's lifestyle. Along with the family influencing him it is exactly what influenced me to get a tattoo. I felt the only reason I had the power relationship over him was because I was the interviewer.

3. He speaks well, he will joke around, he hardly pauses you know he. The tone when talking to him about the reason behind his tattoo, I know he was serious but he covered it up with a sarcastic overtone. The emphasis was on stereotyping in our interview.
