Who would be the audience for your media product? (draft)

drawing of something like this:

although this is a parody photo, it is a pretty accurate representation of modern pop-punk kids today. these days there are high demand for Vans shoes, khaki shorts, back turned snapbacks, hipster glasses and plaid shirts. Usually they would wear a normal T-shirt with a skateboard brand on it or another band's merchandise.

America have big mega stores for alternative clothing, such as Hot Topic. Hot Topic is very big in the modern punk scene because it panders very well to punk clothing of most of punk's different styles. In Britain there are smaller stores, like Voodoo, that cater to alternative clothing. However, bigger stores like Topshop and Burton also have fairly alternative clothing too. Either that or punk is becoming more conventional in clothing.

modern punks seem to be very big in to sitcoms. From my time being part of the modern punk scene, favourite TV programmes include sitcoms like The Big Bang Theory and New Girl.

Music taste ranges in the modern punk movement, but usually it sticks to pop-punk, new hardcore (as opposed to 90s and 80s hardcore like Black Flag and AFI) and alternative hardcore. All have seem to have gotten more heavy in terms of sound but they've all stuck to the very emotional lyrical style found in emo music. Bands in particular are bands like The Story So Far (pop punk), Counterparts (new hardcore) and La Dispute (alternative hardcore).
