The document provides an audience profile for a rock music genre. It estimates that the audience is split 50/50 male and female, though more females like rock music than males. The average age of the audience is estimated to be 19 years old, as that age range of 16-25 would most likely enjoy this type of rock music. The document then provides a visual analysis of the stereotypical fashion style of fans of this music genre, describing colored hair, makeup, clothing items like leather shorts and band shirts that allow fans to express individuality and find others who share their musical tastes.

1. Audience Profile.
I feel that the average gender for my audience profile is split 50/50 between Male and Female.
However, according to my survey more females like the music genre ‘Rock’ than males. I think that
the average age of my audience would be 19. I chose this age as I believe that people between the
ages of 16 to a possible 25 would like this type of Rock music. Also, the age of the people in my
music video match 16 – 25. I did this so that my audience would feel that they could relate to my
video and, therefore like it; find a clearer meaning in the lyrics that could represent their selves.
Below is an analysis of stereotypical fans of my genre of music:
Large, voluminous
hair straightened at
the ends and dyed in
multiple shades of
uncommon colours.
In-fashion headwear
matching the common
yet stylish outfit’s
Hair, again, dyed to
manner.
multiple, unnatural
shades to help
show diversity.
Large amounts of make-up
on eyes in a dark, slightly
gothic style. No other
make-up than, perhaps,
foundation used.
She wears leather shorts
with black tights. A
strange conception with
a hat, jacket and boots,
yet it fits with her style
and contributes to the
trend of black.
Doctor Martins footwear in
the common colour of black
to, again match, yet sparkles
and shines to add to the
trend of diversity.
She wears a band shirt to parade her style
and preferences, allowing her to not only
define herself amongst others, but to help
people who have the same likes notice.
Underneath combat-like
jacket is a vintage styled
cardigan. This again helps
her to stand out and feel
unique, just like how she
feels with her taste in music.

2. The reason most fans would dress like this is to have a sense of individuality, in the same manner
that they feel they are with their music taste. To like You Me At Six and other music of their genre is
straying from the preferences of the average person, according to the music charts such as the ‘Top
40’ and ‘BBC Radio 1: The Official Chart’. By matching their appearance to the styles of the music
they like, people make it easier to find other people who have to same tastes. This social statement
all helps towards sharing similar tastes, likes and opinions with other such people.
