2. AGE
GREEN = YES
they do listen to
indie-rock music
RED = NO
they don’t listen to
indie-rock music
From the responses to my survey, I can clearly see that
the most ‘Yes’ answers to the question ‘Do you listen to
indie-rock music?’ are in the 16-25 age group. Only
one person in these age groups answered ‘No’.
3. GENDER
• From the results I collected, there is not much
difference between the number of female indie-rock
listeners and the number of male indie-rock listeners.
• However, I must note the one female 21-25 year old
who answered ‘No’ to the question ‘Do you listen to
indie-rock music?’
• There is a possibility that slightly more males than
females listen to indie-rock music, and I will
demonstrate this possibility in the next slide...
