Exploring music genre in different types of media

The genre I have chosen to cover is the indie/rock and popular music covered by magazines such as Q and festivals such as Reading festival. My target audience will be interested in a variety of outlets which are linked to this type of music, as music often inspires lifestyle. Here is a variety of media showing inspirations from this genre of music:

Reading/Leeds festival:








Websites, such as the Indie Rock Cafe website. This website covers new artists, established artists, reviews of new releases and performances etc. It is very similar to a music magazine, just a different type of media!



MP3 downloads, ipods, itunes. These new technologies available allow people easier, quicker and cheaper access to music than times before when all music was bought in shops.





Youtube Website - Allows music fans to watch live performances and official music videos of their favourite artists. It can also be used to discover new music.
