Performance Art
For this I stood in a populated place and help a basket of candy, each piece of candy had an encouraging phrase attached to it. Many people were too scared to come up to me, but eventually some people did.
Im schizophrenic so Im used to doing things that get reactions out of people, but this was different. standing with my eyes closed as I basically encouraged people to come close to me wasnt the most peaceful experience, but I feel it was more a test for myself then for the passerbys
Music
Goth-
I noticed one of the artists on the list was Cabaret Voltaire and thought it wasn't fair the good Voltaire wasn't included. Voltaire is a goth cabaret singer and has sung songs for children's tv shows such as the Grimm Adventures of Billy and Mandy. He is my first thought when I think goth and shows that goth music can be just as cheery as any other genre.
Punk -
Rise Against is a very good band that falls into the punk subculture. The band members also encapsulate the meaning of the punk subculture too: vegans, straight edge, protesters. To me they feel like what punk is supposed to be: a rebellion against the status quo.
Hardcore-
Five Finger Death Punch has always been one of my favourites, I have always considered them hardcore. I know music fans always disagree with music classifications, but I think they're a good representation of the hard rock genre. Most of their songs have motivational lyrics and they as people are so sweet. (Theyve actually gotten booed out of Tampa before)
Virtual -
The Studio Killers main singer is a girl by the name of Cherry even though the real singer is a boy all songs are preformed by Cherry. There were many virtual bands to choose from, but I feel the Studio Killers are the most notable from recent times.
Nineties -
Green Day is a notable nineties band and is probably what comes to mind first for many. Everyone associates American Idiot with the nineties even though it was released in 2004 and they revamped their image due to their association with the nineties so they could make themselves relevant again

Xerox Project
For my Xerox project I copied my hands (in gloves) and made a collage of them. I wanted them to appear to be reaching for something. My (very expensive) scanner was not able to print things the way it should be able too, but I like the result because it looks like a computer glitch which helps give this a creepy feeling
