Research Blog 1 & 2: Cosplay

I chose as the subculture I would like to research, cosplay. I chose this subculture because I am a part of it, I cosplay at conventions from time to time. I enjoy it greatly and think it would be cool to learn more about it.


I expect to discover how it started and why it became so popular, who is it’s most common fans, etc. Going into this project I already knew a lot including that cosplay is the word used to describe dressing up as your favorite comic book, anime, or video game character for fun. I do not see myself running into very many difficulties with this topic. This topic should be fun for me and I hope I do enjoy it.
