Parkour.

Parkour is an extreme kind of human amusement. Extreme sports are extraordinary actions which are dangerous and aimed at getting adrenalin. I think, the main aim of Parkour is to get adrenalin from dangerous actions while  reaching

conceived point.  All the actions in parkour are aimed to explore the possibilities of your body and at the expansion of your possibilities. It makes parkour rather like philosothy of self-development. That`s what I like in Parkour. What do You like in Parkour?

Gothic subculture

Hello guys!
I would like to discuss gothic style. You have seen goths - they wear black make up, gorgeous hair and they definitely stand out from the crowd. They are goths, and contrary to popular belief, there is nothing scary about them. Their dress styles consist of punk, Victorian, death rock, with mixtures from Medieval and Renaissance attire.

Goth fashion has a reciprocal relationship with the fashion world. In the later part of the first decade of the 21st century, designers such as Alexander McQueen and John Galliano brought elements of goth to runways. This was described as "Haute Goth" (High Gothic Fashion). The most famous 'pieces' include The Gothic Galliano Dress and Alexander McQueen Shoes.

So what is your attitude to gothic style?
Do you like Haute Goth fashion?

Hello, my dear friends!Some researchers argue that the listeners of hard rock and metal above the desire for aggression and depression. However, psychologists agree that this is not a consequence and cause drag heavy music. Besides that, the respondents showing negative trends feel better and more confident after listening to your favorite music. According to them, heavy aggressive music helps them to throw out the negative emotions, do not hoard them in yourself. Thus, some metalheads, consciously or unconsciously use the metal as a means of therapy. So, what do you feel while listening to this kind of music?More information in English you can find in my slide in our presentation and on my site page

Otaku and anime

  I think everyone has seen or heard about anime. I also know that a lot of people don't like or even can't stand such kinds of animated movies , but most of them don't have much information about it, about it's genres or a plot. Some say it's only for children or anime is not serious. But I can't agree with them. Films of Hayao Miyadzaki, for example, are full of wisdom, kindness and touches questions conserning our life.

 Then they say that they don't like anime because of it's strange characters who always have enormous big eyes. But there is a great amount of anime films where character are painted true to life.

 So, my questions are: if you are fond of anime, what genre do you prefer and what anime is your favorite one?
And if you are not - why don't you like this kind of cartoons?

Role players

Hello!
I think you have heard about or seen people dressed in hand-made armor, medival-looking dresses, holding swords and bows, speaking with an ancient accent? They are role-players, performing scenes from their favourite game, book, movie or some fistoric event. They can look strange or funny, but they really seem to enjoy themselves. Probably, you even find yourself wondering how it would feel to be a great warrior swinging a sword with a frightening prow or an oriental princess posessing some magical abilities, to be a creator of the history itself....
So what do you think, is switching from reality to a game, a fantasy good or not? Can it be harmful?

My attitude to punks.

Hello, my dear chaps!!!
I think it's a high time to discuss our topic now.
Having studied the information about punks, I got interested in it. 
The punk subculture includes a diverse array of ideologies, and forms of expression, including fashion, visual art, dance, literature, and film, which grew out of punk rock.
What is your real attitude to this subculture? How do you find it?
