    My media product represents the rock music culture, which attracts both male and female listeners mostly of white ethnicity. The product focuses on white British people as that is my own ethnicity. It targets both males and females aged 16-20 because research showed about equal percentages of male and female rock music listeners in that age range. A female band was featured to appeal to both genders. Rock music also tends to attract two social groups - Goths and Emos, characterized by dark hair, clothes, and makeup.

    How does your

    media product
    represent
    particular social
    groups?

    My media product represents the rock music culture. Rock music reaches
    both male and female people mostly of a white English or American
    ethnicity. Now however rock music reaches a wider range of ethnicities as
    the music is becoming more popular. My magazine focused on white British
    people because this is my own ethnicity so I would know more about it
    than any other. I chose to target both male and female people because
    when doing my research the percentages of people listening to rock music
    was 48% female and 52% male so there wasnt a lot of difference. Rock
    music doesnt really specify towards a particular gender so targeting both
    was easy. To make sure my magazine was for both genders I used a female
    band. Male people would be interested in a female band as that is what
    they would be attracted to and what they would maybe want to read
    about. The female band was good for females and this could be someone
    they relate to as they are the same gender.
    For the age of my target audience I chose older teens and young adults, so
    people aged between 16 and 20. I did this because again this is the
    category I fall into so I knew more about what this age range would want
    rather than what older or younger audiences would prefer. I also
    photographed a band which was from this age range because it would be
    what my target audience would be related most to.

    Rock music tends to see two types of people come from it; Goths and
    Emos which are both quite similar. These are two social groups that listen
    to rock music and have a similar look to each other. Goths and Emos
    stereotypically have dark black dyed hair and wear dark clothes. Most
    band t-shirts for rock are normally black which is what these types of
    people would be wearing. Goths and Emos tend to wear dark makeup eg
    black eye shadow/eyeliner and black lipstick. This is for both female and
    male members are these social groups. Rockers like Goths and Emos
    sometimes also have face piercings and tattoos which is taken form the
    people from the actual rock band.
