The document discusses how the media product represents various social groups associated with punk music. It notes that while punk music is mainly made by males, the front cover features a female playing a dominant role. It also points out that contrary to stereotypes, not all punk musicians or fans have tattoos and not all are moody, as one interviewed musician shares funny onstage experiences. Additionally, the document acknowledges that while most punk music is loud, the main featured band describes their style as "fruit pop" and softer punk, showing there is a range within the genre.

1. How does your media
product represent
particular social groups?

2. Gender
Punk music is mainly
dominated by males. However
on my front cover I have a
female and she appears to be
able to stand her own ground.
She appears quite dominate
and looks like she’s screaming
or telling someone what to do
and that’s why she has a
megaphone.

3. Image
Many people believe that all people that listen or
make punk music are tattooed from head to toe.
However this is not true on all the images I have
used only 2 people have tattoos and they aren’t
tattooed as much as people believe.
The other stereotypical thought is that punk kids
are moody, never smile and never have any fun. In
my interview Mike shares his funny onstage
experiences. He also is quite calm and laidback.

4. Punk music
Most punk music is quite heavy and loud with a heavy
drum beat. However my main feature is based around
a band who describe themselves as ‘fruit pop’. They
are on the softer side of punk and are quite easy
listening however their music is still interesting
enough to hold punk lover’s attention. This shows that
not all punk music is ‘loud’ and ‘annoying’ there is a
range of ‘punk’.
