                                             to so-called 'garage' music such as Blazin' Squad and So

                                               entire Emo subculture is rooted in music. Emo is short
                                               for "emotional" or "emotional hardcore." This type of
                                               music came about in D.C. in the 80's The type of
                                               people who listened to this music had common tastes
                                               in fashion, and like many other fashion eras, they all
                                               began dressing the same way. Now the term Emo is
                                               associated more with behaviour and style than it is
                                               with music. Simply don a pair Converse, a studded

chavs" are said to be aggressive and arrogant teenagers and
                                         young adults, of underclass background, who repeatedly
                                         engage in anti-social behavior such as street drinking, drug
                                         abuse and rowdiness.

                                         The main music genres chavs listen to are-
                                                R&B
                                                Hip-hop
                                                Rap




My chosen genre of my magazine is going to be R&B. I am going to be aiming
my magazine at teenagers and young people. I have found out that most R&B
magazines such as vibe magazine are aimed at young people as they use a lot
of informal language like slang. Townies and chavs are probably my main
target audience as they listen to R&B and music like R&B. Chavs and townies
are young people who think there cool because what they wear and what they
do, these are two groups of people who listen to R&B. With R&B magazines
using slang chavs and townies understand this as they use slang a lot.




        A bold title which stand out to the audience to get their attention.
        An image of an artist or band on the cover. Normally dressed in casual
        clothes. (jeans, polo shirt, hoody, trainers, high tops) I have also found
        out that some of the artist in the images on R&B magazines are very
        smart such as wearing a suit.
        Cover lines to draw the audience in and reveal what is going to be inside
        the magazine.
