Research on Music Genres and My choice of Music Genre.

Pop Music

I feel that although this magazine will be widely read as a large group of people enjoy this genre of music there are already various magazines on the market which cater to this audience, such as Sugar magazine.

Also I feel that because this magazine has such a wide range of differant bands and styles all in one genre that it would be difficult to pin point on specific area for the magazine which I am creating.

Indie Music

I also feel that there are alot of magazines for this genre of music which means that the people who listen to this genre of music may already have a magazine which they read weekly or monthly. These magazine are ones such as NME and Q magazine.


Alternative Music

I feel that this genre of music will be a good one to pick when making my own music magazine as not only do I enojy listening to this type of music I feel that there is a gap in the market for this type of music. Although the audience is not that great alot of people throughout the country are interested in this genre. Also I feel that although magazines such as NME contain small parks about the bands in this genre it is not specifically aimed at the genre in general and I feel that a magazine specifially for this genre will work well.

 Classical Music

I believe that although classical music is listened to by many people the magazine which I want to create needs to be appealing to a younger audience so that I will know what will appeal to them as classical music is listen to the majority of the time by the older generation. There are various small magazines which are published for this genre such as Gramaphone magazine and Classical music but they are not widely read, although there is a gap in the market for a magazine which caters to listeners of this genre of music I would like to also create a magazine which is interesting to me as the maker of the magazine.

 Rock Music

This genre of music also have various magazines which caters for its readers such as Kerrang. So there is not a great need for a magazine which is about this genre. Although it is widely listened to and I believe the audience of the magazine will be quite large there are already enough magazines which cater to this genre

R&B Music

This genre of music is listened to widely throughout the world and many magazines are already in publishing for this genre of music. I feel that because I do enjoy listening to this type of music it will be a good option to consider when creating my magazine. On the other hand there will be alot of competition when creating & publishing the magazine.

 I have chosen to use alternative music as the genre for my music magazine as I feel that there is a gap in the market for a magazine of this type and there are alot of appeals to this type of magazine.
