The audience for my music magazine is both male and
female teens. The age of the buyer will be 16 – 21; this genre is quite recent
to the music scene therefore not many of the older population would appreciate
this type of genre, whereas it will appeal to the majority of the younger ages.
At the ages of 16 – 21 you’d be able to read swear words in magazines without
thinking anything of it as you’re going through the grown up stages. I intend
on writing provocative content which is why I chose this age range; the
magazine will also consist of controversial images. The audience for the
magazine will be preferably read by a percentage of 58% males and 42% females.
This is the chosen percentage because females tend to listen to various amounts
of music genres e.g. pop, alternative, R&B and indie, whereas males tend to
listen to one or maybe even two specific music genres. Although this is my
specified percentage, the magazine is premeditated for both genres; this allows
my magazine to have a wider target audience allowing there to be a larger
readership resulting in more revenue and more profit coming in from the
magazine. Although when it comes to music magazines with this genre the
percentage of males is vastly more than females. The male readerships are
usually around 72% and females 28%; I didn’t go for this percentage as I wanted
to individualise my magazine; making is a more neutral based magazine for both
genres.
The social class is an aspect of my magazine that will
be miscellaneous. Alternative music doesn’t tend to have a specific social
class; anyone from any part of the world, from any background can listen to
this genre…there are no restrictions. I chose the social class ABC1 as the main
target audience due to its wide variety of classes and how high priced the
magazine is.
