Primary Research Data and My Interpretation

The survey I made had 5 questions and they simply asked you if you have listened to British rock, can you name any bands, is there a difference between the music you listen to and the language in this music, I asked them to rate the comprehensibility of the lyrics, and lastly state any additional information.

In the perfect situation I would have preferred to survey anyone who actually knows this type of music, and I would have liked it if they were musicians themselves. But in the time alloted I only had the chance to ask 15 of my classmates. As you can see from my previous post, only a couple of people said they knew what I was talking about. Interestingly enough if they said they did not listen to British rock they thought they wouldn't be able to understand the lyrics being sung. Yet a few people thought that they didn't think there was a difference from U.S. rock and British rock. Think to yourself, do Bruce Springsteen and The Beatles sound they same to you?

My Plan of Action

My plan to find all this information on my research topic: "British Slang: Music" is to use the internet to find articles describing British slang, to interview my classmates if they think "British Invasion" music as slang being used in it, and finally to listen to the music and look up lyrics to see if there is evident slang being used.

My Questions

- What are the characteristics of British slang?
- Do some artists/bands use more slang then others?
- Is there a difference between British slang and popular American slang?
- Does slang give British Rock its unique characteristics, or is it something else?
