Audience Research

Because I'm basing the magazine's music genre on punk music, I have looked into where the different sub-genres of punk are accepted.


It turns out that punk Is very widely accepted. Pop-Punk is very big with the masses and the mainstream because it's a lighter and more catchy side to punk. Pop-punk is accepted in UK tribes like emos, skaters, scene kids, DIYers, indies, Tumblr kids, Trendies and so on.

Hardcore punk is mainly associated with the hardcore movement. A can-be very elitist side to punk. They like short one minute songs that are full of shouts and scratchy guitars and messy drums. However, because of a side to Hardcore known as DIY punk (Black Flag fit into this one) DIYers will also accept hardcore punk.

Classic punk like the Sex Pistols is pretty much accepted by most UK tribes. Everyone and their dads know who the Sex Pistols are. 

The same very much goes for Grunge; Nirvana were the biggest band of their time, all kinds of sub-cultures and UK tribes liked them.
