What Are Your Thoughts On Indie Music?

0 1.25 2.5 3.75 5

I have never listened to indie music.

I don't take notice of music genres

I know a few indie bands that I enjoy but I'm not a big fan

I've listened to it once or twice before though it is not a genre I prefer

I really love indie music

I like this genre but it's not my favourite

Here, I can see what people’s views are on indie music and although some

of these shows that not many people are huge fans of it, it also shows that they are at least familiar with it and enjoy it to an extent.

Because of these results, I will be keeping the music genre for my magazine as

indie.

How often do you buy a music magazine?

17%

83%

Never

Once a monthThese results show that people will rarely buy a music magazine. But

because of the few people who said they buy one once a month, I have decided to change the publishing

frequency of my magazine from every week to every month. This will ensure that people are more willing to buy the

magazine as they’re not having to spend so much money on it.

If you did buy a music magazine that belonged to a genre you are really interest in, what is the maximum price you would be willing to pay?

From the looks of these results, it’s clear that the price the audience are most willing to pay is £2.50. Because of this, I will keep the price of my magazine

at £2.50.

What do you think of the name ‘Untouched’ as a chosen title for an indie music magazine?

“Great.” “Cool.”

“It’s Great.”

“Very nice title, simple but gets the point across.”

“Sounds exclusive… it makes it look new and a must have.”

“It seems interesting. Might show the most unique indie bands.”

“Hmm… I like it. Untouched, underground, under the radar. Same connotations of discovery.”“Has an alluring air of mystery, intriguing, definitely not

mainstream so I wouldn’t say that most people will go for it.” “I like it, it is unique.”

Because none of these gave me any advice to improve, I won’t be changing the title of my music magazine as it seems like a lot of the people who commented on it liked it.

What kind of article do you prefer to read?

Interviews with an artist where the questions and answers

are all laid out neatly, with not much writing and an informal

fun tone.

A deep and descriptive article about a past event that has happened to the artist and

also describes current situations such as the release

of a new album or talking about troubles.

These results show that most people wanted to read a descriptive article, because of these results, this is the kind of article I will be writing for my
