In 1992, former Salisbury University student W. Wirt Wolfe, III collected folk material. He conducted a fieldwork to study the customs and traditions of the folk group of hip-hop and rap fans. The first part of his paper retraces the history of hip-hop music. Then it attempts to portray what a hip-hop fan is by exploring the different aspects that distinguish this group such as fashion, attitudes, communication and more. Wirt interviewed several peers to supplement his analysis.
