How large is this community?
- Never Shout Never's fan base is not very big. The band that plays indie and alternative music has not quite yet made it to the big leagues yet. Christofer Drew, the lead singer, only plays small shows with an audience of probably around 100 big-time fans.
Does your discourse community have a forum or discussion/communication?
- Yes, Christofer Drew has his own personal twitter were he updates fans about upcoming private shows and about new EP's he is working on. Also, he has his own personal Youtube and website where fans, like me, can go and catch up on what's coming next for Never Shout Never. The website also includes a forum where people can go and write about other Never Shout Never news and opinions.
Does your discourse community have a certain purpose?
- The purpose of my discourse community is to listen to the music that I love, become inspired by Christofer Drew's lyrics and messages, and show up to all his shows for support. Without the fan's Never Shout Never would not be able to keep making music and keep doing their shows.
Is your discourse community bound by rules?
- Basically, the rules for being a Never Shout Never fan are to just support Christofer Drew, buy his music, and show up to all his shows.
Does your discourse community offer useful textual artifacts for analysis?
- Yes, Christofer Drew writes all his own songs and the lyrics of his song's can be deeply analyzed to get a clear, meaningful message. Also. all of Never Shout Never's shows can be analyzed by the way he presents himself and his music.
