The Genre of my music magazine.

  The music genre which I have chosen to base my music magazine on will be Pop/R&B. I have chosen this particular genre as it is the music genre which I personally prefer, therefore I feel that I will be able to give a better representation of it, than I would with a music genre such as heavy metal, as I do not listen to nor do I particularly like it. The magazines which I have based my music genre around are "Q" and "Vibe", as they target the same age range as I am, and also they are a mixture of the two music genres.
The pop and R&B style's are very popular right now, as reality shows such as X-factor base their music around pop songs, but have also tried modernising their shows, to suit the new modern generation, by introducing R&B songs. I find that R&B has alot of sub-genres inside of it, such as soft rap, urban and "black" music. Most of the popular celebrity singers right now are from the pop "scene", for example:- Cheryl Cole, Katy Perry and also Lady Gaga.
Alot of adolecent female's copy the styles of and also idolise Cheryl Cole, and also young men are attracted to women like her.
