[EDITED to fix grammar, clarify questions]
Hey! I'm new here but have been a fan of Silverchair for a very long time. I'm a university student and am currently writing a research paper about Silverchair and would love to hear your opinions and thoughts about the band.
Basically, anything you want to say about them would be great. The focus of the paper will be about the gender and sexuality, but really, anything you want to share about how you feel about them would be awesome! Just post to this thread or email me: ttt3t@virginia.edu
Some questions, if you want to answer them:
Do you think Silverchair's music has gotten more masculine or feminine over the years? Harder or softer? What about their image? Does that affect how you feel about the band?
Does the band's personal life affect how you listen to their music or how you interpret it? What I mean by personal life is Daniel Johns' marriage or sort of "ambigulous sexuality (wearing make up, etc.) or Ben's image changing over the year (getting more buff/tanned).
Does Daniel's personal life/preferences, or the media attention to it - his veganism, marriage to Natalia Imbruglia, former anorexia, arthritist, etc. - affect how you feel about the band?
Do any songs strike you as being more masculine or feminine? More appealing to men or women?
Why do you like them so much?
Anything you'll share is appreciated. Also, I'm in the US, so any articles you can point me to via the internet would also be fantastic, because Silverchair gets very little media coverage here. Thanks so much in advance.
