Social Identity and Indie Music: Me or We
The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of social identity on the consumption of Canadian Indie music. Data collected in 2008 with a self-completion questionnaire comprised of measures of social identification, values, opinion leadership, and consumption behavior for Indie music were used to address four research questions. Strong identifiers with Indie music (SIs), compared to weak identifiers (WIs), were found to have a stronger …
