Q4 - Who would be the audience of your music magazine?

I think it is hard to define a specific group and audience at which to direct a music magazine, as music is heavily affected by own choice and extremely wide and diverse in catergory. However, were I to aim my magazine at specific groups and the category was age, I would be inclined to aim the magazine at young adults aged 15 - 21, as this is the most prominent age group for this genre. If the grouping was social class, I would mainly exclude upper class individuals and focus mainly on middle and working class teenagers. The genre dubstep does not tend to have any inclination towards any ethnicity.
I feel that there are certain factors within my magazine that promote the specific groupings that I have mentioned above.
For example all the images in my magazine feature tenneage males, due to the fact that as to gender grouping in this genre, the masculine role is dominant.
The image depicts the model holding an iPod touch, which is widely used throughout age and gender groups, but has the album artwork of the corresponding band.
Overall, the groups that i have specified are represented through the images in my magazine.
