Target audience for my magazine

The target audience for my magazine will be for people in the age range of 16-30. This is because people in this age range will be more likely to enjoy the genre of music my magazine focuses on. For example, someone who is in the older generation such as 50's/60's for instance, they would be more likely to enjoy listening to older music. The audience for my magazine will consist of both males and females. However, there would probably a higher percentage of males who read the magazine but I'm not making my magazine gender specific as anyone can read the magazine regardless of their gender in society. If I was to give a percentage ratio of the likely male/female audience it would probably be 60% males and 40% females. The magazine would not effect who the target audience is in terms of their occupation as the magazine would be cheap enough for the audience to buy regardless of their job. 

The people who would read my magazine would be likely to listen to music through devices such as their phone, iPod etc. However, they would also be likely to buy music in the format of vinyl records. Those would would buy the magazine would enjoy listening to music, playing instruments such as the guitar etc. and going to gigs and festivals. The target audience for my magazine would enjoy listening to groups such as Arctic Monkey, 1975, The Last Shadow Puppets, Oasis, Catfish and the Bottlemen etc. In terms of socio-economic group, my target audience can vary as the magazine does not restrict to one group but the most likely socio-economic group my audience would fall into are working class and skilled working class. This is because based on the bands the magazine features, they wear quite normal clothes showing them to be quite humble and not all about having really expensive flashy items. Typically people will try to be like the people they like/look up to. Therefore, the audience of the magazine will follow along with this and be quite normal everyday people who don't feel the need to have expensive, flashy clothing items as both them and the bands in this genre are more about the music.
