2. My Genre
I have chosen to use the pop genre as it is well-
known and what I most listen to, making it
easier for me to engage with my audience. The
main target demographic of pop music is young
teenage girls which I will easily be able to relate
to, hopefully achieving what they want to see in
a magazine.

what I need for my magazine as the pop genre is
what is most popular and mainstream.
