2. Pop Music
• There is a variety of forms of Pop magazines.
The recent popular one are Top of the
Pops, which provides latest news of Pop
songs, singers, etc. Smash hits, which is an old
one, has information mainly on singers and
songs of previous time.

4. • Pop magazines mainly aim at
teenagers, hence their front covers
usually have a bright background
colour (pink, white, blue, etc) and an
impressive image of a Pop singer.
5. Rock
• Like Pop, there are many different Rock
magazines. Classic Rock, which is a monthly
magazine first published in 1998, is now still
popular; Kerrang! is a weekly British Rock
magazine which was first published in 1981,
became the best-selling British newspaper in
the 2000s.

7. • The models on Rock magazines are
also Rock singers, but the
background colour of Rock
magazines is darker and simpler, as a
way to reflect this genre's
characteristic.
8. Classical
• Classic is not an easy listening type of music.
This genre is listened by a certain group of
people due to their preference, hobbies and
ages. Classical music mainly attracts people at
older generation. Hence, there are not too
many magazines for this genre. Some popular
are Music and Classical Music.

10. • The colours used on Classical
magazines' front covers are very
subtle. They are usually black and
white. Like other magazines'
genres, Classical magazines have
images of Classical artists, normally
with their instruments.
11. Conclusion
• The types of music magazines differ in colours
and styles (models’ style). While Pop
magazines have bright colours, Rock and
Classical magazines normally use simple
colours like black and white. Models on Pop
magazines’ front cover are Pop singers with
sweet and smiley images (sometimes
sexy), whereas images on Rock magazines
usually inspire dark, cold and crazy.
