1. Target Audience

2. Heavy Metal fans have developed a subculture of their own
and most of them completely follow the symbols , styles
and dressing style of heavy metal bands. For example , long
& vibrant hair .These subcultures are now commonly
known as “ Headbangers” & “ Metal Heads “. Fans affirm
their membership in the subculture or scene by attending
metal concerts, buying albums, in some cases growing their
hair, and most recently, by contributing to metal websites.

4. AUDIENCE
It could be said that due to the emergence of an intense ,
exclusionary strong masculine subculture heavy metal
has outlasted many other rock genres.Though the metal
fans are mostly young , white , male and blue-collars ,
however this genre is gaining popularity in other regions
as well. Identification with the subculture is strengthened
not only by the shared experience of concert-going and
shared elements of fashion, but also by contributing to
metal magazines and, more recently, websites

6. LYRICS & TUNE
For certain artists and bands, visual imagery plays a large role in heavy metal. In
addition to its sound and lyrics, a heavy metal band's "image" is expressed in
album sleeve art, logos, stage sets, clothing, and music videos. Death is a
predominant theme in heavy metal, routinely featuring in the lyrics of bands as
otherwise widely different as Slayer and W.A.S.P.The more extreme forms of
death metal and grind core tend to have aggressive and gory lyrics.
King Diamond, known for writing conceptual lyrics about horror stories
Deriving from the genre's roots in blues music, sex is another important topic—
a thread running from Led Zeppelin's suggestive lyrics to the more explicit
references of glam and nu metal bands. Romantic tragedy is a standard theme
of gothic and doom metal, as well as of nu metal, where teenage angst is
another central topic. Heavy metal songs often feature outlandish, fantasy-
inspired lyrics, lending them an escapist quality. Iron Maiden's songs, for
instance, are frequently inspired by mythology, fiction, and poetry, as in "Rime
of the Ancient Mariner", based on the SamuelTaylor Coleridge poem.The
thematic content of heavy metal has long been a target of criticism

8. Punk subculture emerged,
expressing youthful
rebellion and characterized
by distinctive styles of
clothing and adornment
and a variety of anti-
authoritarian ideologies.

10. Punk Rock is quite famous in
western countries as it’s
nature is loud and rough and
suits to the night life of
western countries but it is
getting popular on a very fast
rate in other regions as well ;
in developing countries such
as India.Teenagers find this
genre amazingly interesting
because of it’s colourful
nature !

12. Punk rock vocals sometimes sound
nasal , and lyrics are often shouted
instead of sung in a conventional
sense, particularly in hardcore styles
The vocal approach is characterized
by a lack of variety; shifts in pitch,
volume, or intonational style are
relatively infrequent.
This kind of music style attracts a
large crowd of audience , especially
those youngsters who are into Rock
Music !

14. As a genre, pop music is very eclectic, often borrowing elements from other styles
including urban, dance, rock, Latin and country ;nonetheless, there are core
elements which define pop. Such include generally short-to-medium length songs,
written in a basic format (often the verse-chorus structure), as well as the common
employment of repeated choruses, melodic tunes, and catchy hooks.
So-called "pure pop" music, such as power pop, features all these elements, using
electric guitars, drums and bass for instrumentation; in the case of such music, the
main goal is usually that of being pleasurable to listen to, rather than having much
artistic depth. Pop music is generally thought of as a genre which is commercially
recorded and desires to have a mass audience appeal.

16. Pop genre has developed overtime and with the passage of time many other genres
such as jazz , Latin , dance and etc have been influencing this genre.This is the most
faourite genre of people and attracts audience from every age group. People who are
into music are mostly fond of pop music , doesn’t matter if they are teenagers or belong
to the group of middle age and older people group.

17. Although pop music is often seen as oriented towards the singles charts it is not the
sum of all chart music, which has always contained songs from a variety of sources,
including classical, jazz, rock, and novelty songs, while pop music as a genre is usually
seen as existing and developing separately .Thus "pop music" may be used to describe
a distinct genre, aimed at a youth market, often characterized as a softer alternative
to rock .

19. Classical music is an art music.This genre is all about
literature and poetry therefore it attracts senior citizens
mostly.Youngsters are not that much into this genre of
music because they find it quite boring and not so cool !

23. Folk ( traditional ) music
appeals to senior people
mostly and to those who are
quite interested in their and
different cultures. Folk
music varies from place to
place but some songs falling
in this genre got popularity
on international level. For
example . India’s Rajasthani
Folk music is quite popular in
other countries as well , such
as Pakistan.

28. However , this genre is mostly followed by Christians because music
is an essential part of their prayers . Moreover , Christianity is the
mostly followed religion in this world. Gospel concerts are a great
attraction for Christian youth as well !

29. People who really love
music and can’t live
without it have many
options in music.
Music attracts people from
every age group and people
love following new trends
and some like being
stereotype but it could be
said that music is an
addiction !
