young adults 16-34, the median age is 24.

Opinions on magazines/
what is your favourite
feature in a magazine?
“I love magazines! They
give the most up to date
information on your
favourite bands/artists
which is great because then
I know all about my
favourite artist/s like; tours,
festivals and new albums.
My favourite feature in a
magazine would have to be
the posters and interviews
they are wicked!”

think my parents are very fond of it! Haha”
