Audiance Profile

Audience Profile

The genres of the band that we have chosen are Alternative rock, Pop Punk and Emo.

Alternative rock had originally appeared in the middle of the nineteen-eighties, meaning that the age of fans of the genre can be varied, ranging from younger people who are listen to musicians such as ‘Fall Out Boy’, all the way to older artists, such as ‘R.E.M.’ and ‘The Cure’.

Fans of alternative rock area also typically fans of similar genres, such as ‘punk rock’ or ‘Britpop’. Overall it seems that alternative rock is popular with a rather wide variety of people. It is both popular with males and females, and the age range of fans of the genre seems to range from early teens – 13/14 – to both men and women, in their thirties and higher. However it would seem that alternative rock and it’s subgenre’s aren’t as popular with those aged about 50 and upwards as they are with the younger audience.
