1.This is a Ted Talk on fangirls by Yve Blake. This allowed me to learn that other people feel the same as I do about this issue, as well as learning other peoples perspectives. This has helped me as I will be quoting Yve, but also because it has given me much more to talk about. It has allowed me to think of new topics of conversation for my project such as the sexualisation of fan girls, I feel that this is a big issue but it had not occurred to write about it until this TED talk.
2. This is an interview of Taylor Swift talking about the different labels that men and women have in the music industry. This really helped me develop my idea as my piece focuses on fan culture, but it's interesting to hear that the singers themselves have the same issues as their fans.
3.I was searching for the definition of a 'fan girl'. I found several definitions all alluding to the same concept. This helps me define exactly what a fan girl is a well as understanding that there is a universal negative opinion of what a fan girl is. This allows me to further make my point as fan girls have many stereotypes surrounding them and these definitions confirm those stereotypes.
I have added a link to each photo to take you directly to the website.
