Conclusions/Justification
Kerrang magazine mainly feature punk and rock artists in
their magazines and this will only attract people that enjoy
listening to thus type of music, this can also mean that less
people buy these magazines as not many people enjoy this
type of music.
Many people will rather listen to pop music than rock or
punk music as it may be a bit intimidating, this can lead to
the Kerrang company not earning as much money as the
others because of the lack of different music genres or
artists featuring their magazines.
