The document discusses research into the target demographics for a magazine about the music genre of grime. It would target teenagers and young people, as grime is an underground urban genre not well known among older age groups. It would also target those from a middle-class or lower-class background, as grime lyrics often reference struggles of lower-class life and contain slang not familiar to higher classes. While grime started within the black community, the magazine would now target a wider racial audience as grime has become more mainstream.
2. The music magazine genre I’m
going to be researching and
creating is a ‘Grime’ magazine.
The age range for a grime
magazine would range from
early teens a reason for this is
Grime is a urban and a
underground genre which most
people above my age range
might not be aware as this
genre is not global as other
genres such as ‘Hip-Hop’
there's not a pacific genre for a
grime as it will attract both
male and female however it is
more common with boys as
most grime artist are male and
males that listen and enjoy
reading about grime would
want to espier to be like these
grime artist they hear on TV.
Age range
3. Grime usually attracts a middle class society as its very urban and people in a
higher class society wouldn’t really listen to grime as they most higher
class people wouldn’t understand the ‘slang’ and most grime music
contains explicit words which higher class people might no be used to
hearing in a song also because people from a rich society's might have
never heard of grime as it isn’t as global and not heard of.
Social class
4. employment
As most people that would read a grime magazine are teenagers,
most likely they are going to be un-employed so to get money to
buy a grime magazine they’d have to ask there parents or
guardian for pocket money to buy a magazine. However some
teenage do have part-time jobs to pay for luxury things they need.
The price range of a grime magazine isn't as expensive as mother
magazine such as a hip hop magazine as it isn't as global as hip
hop so therefore the price would have to be low to get people of a
lower class society to buy
5. Ethnic group
When grime first started it mainly targeted a black community as
most of the grime artist were from a black background and most
black people could relate to the day-to-day things they rap about
such as money and struggling in a lower class society however
now that grime has gone mainstream it targets a wider racial
audience as we see different races rapping on TV today. Therefore
my magazine will target a wider racial audience as most races are
aware of grime as it is today.
