ABOUTGENRESTYLE & REPRESENTATION

CULTURALSIGNIFICANCEVALUES &IDEOLOGIES

The genre of music that my artist will be performing would be indie/alternative rock, suiting to the genre of my magazine ‘Scene’. My artist won’t be portrayed as a new artist, as she will be promoting the release of her sophomore album, therefore there giving the audience the impression that she already has a solid fanbase.

My artist will be styled mainly in black clothing, with some appearances of red and white. I chose this as wearing all black is becoming more current, even outside of the rock genre, and looks simplistic whilst still looking aesthetically pleasing. Despite this, black and red can be reflections of rock and thus suitable to the magazine’s genre and colour scheme.

CULTURAL SIGNIFICANCE Appearance wise, Crystal has been influenced by other artists in the alternative rock scene.

Through her extensive love of this music category, she has picked up certain conventional dressing styles of artists in this category. This is because she can relate to this dressing style and it is what she feels comfortable in. Regardless, Crystal still desires to portray her individualistic side, thus she is unafraid to add her own touch to these appearances; she prefers to go for a more vintage, old-school rock appearance. She is also comfortable enough to stray from the typical alternative rock look and go for more feminine styles from time to time, emphasizing how she can appeal to different types of audiences instead of being restricted to one thing.

Through this, Crystal has been influencing her target audience as they begin to follow her clothing style and appearance more often. This is reinforced through her releasing fan merchandise true to her own taste. She has also influenced listeners of her music to not consistently adhere to the typical conventions of genres, that music is a style of expression that can continuously be adapted and altered. Crystal constantly reminds her audience that music is about uniting people and allowing them to feel they can relate to others.
