Q2 - how does your music magazine represent particular social groups?

Representation of social Groups

I feel that my Magazine represent a variety of particular social groups, as the Genre I have chosen, dubstep, is specific to many social, ethnic or other categorised groups. The image that i have used on my front cover is of a typical Dubstep artist perhaps; dark skinny jeans, collared polo shirt and shorter hair, but this grouping can vary hugely. Throughout my magazine the images remain fairly generic towards this grouping, which in hindsight I feel that I should have introduced some degree of variety to properly represent the full range of artists through both ethnicity, social class and clothing differentiation.
Looking back through my magazine I also felt that the actual facial expressions of my models should have been changed up a bit, to create diversity throughout the images.
Moving away from the images, I don't think that I have represented social groups in any way, eirther through language used or appearance and layout of pages. If there was one, it would be to represent younger generations, as Dubstep tends to be a young scene, more or less devoid of elder generations.
