| 總結: | Social networking services (SNS) such as Facebook has caused a shift in the way people
interact with each other and construct their identities. Looking at the Singapore metal scene,
this study seeks to understand the way Facebook has changed the interactions within the
scene and how notions of identity and authenticity has shifted. In-depth interviews with
members of the scene, as well as analysis of a local metal Facebook Group seek to find out
more about how Facebook has affected the behaviours and attitudes towards these topics.
Findings suggest that Facebook has not only not resulted in the reduction of the importance of
face-to-face interactions, but rather act as an extension to the offline scene. It is also
suggested that notions of authenticity has also changed. |
