Class Survey on Genres

In class we were asked a serious of questions about music magazines and different types of genres. We discovered that within in the class the music that was most popular was Indie and Pop music. We also found out that the most popular scenes and social groups currently are:
Indie, Chavs, Pop Princesses, Emo's etc. You can tell social groups and genres apart by the way they act, the clothes they wear, their interests and there attitude.

Welcome to my first media coursework blog. Over the course of this blog I will be showing and building ideas  for my music magazine. I usually listen to variety of music, this differs from things like chart music, pop, indie etc. However I do enjoy listening to older music and usually turns out to be the better of the genres of music. My choice of magazine to study would be a magazine related to Fashion or the Celebrity lifestyle and gossip. By reading these types of magazines I find out new things weekly like what is happening in the life of the celebrities and also find out fashion tips and trends for the seasons. Even though I do enjoy listening to music I wouldn't find myself going to the shop and buying a music magazine. Music magazines seem to stick to one genre of music and I would rather read about my genres of music. The music magazine I have chosen is Q which is a magazine for many music lovers and they focus on all different types and styles of music from Katy B to Kasabian. Q is a very popular magazine and is just as popular as music magazines like Kerrang! and others. They create the magazines for different purposes and focus on different bands but are still just as popular as each other. Q is more of a journal styled magazine.
