Max conducted a survey about the indie music genre. Based on 45 responses:
- Most respondents were 16-18 years old (70.45%) and identified as male (48.84%) or other (27.91%).
- The most listened to indie bands were The 1975 (25%) and The Courteeners (17.5%).
- Respondents had mixed opinions on indie magazines, citing interviews and gig listings as positives but also finding the content pretentious at times.
- Most would prefer indie magazines be published monthly and would pay £1.10-£2.10.
