•My magazine represents young people this is shown through the type of images I have used. It is also shown through the mode of address, it is not at all formal.
•My magazine also talks about thing that young people enjoy such as fashion, reviews of the latest music and what musicians are doing.
My chosen genre is RnB and Hip-Hop, throughout history in RnB women have had equal status. Whereas in Hip-Hop males have been very dominant. Only recently have females began to break through and become equal to men in this genre. Female rappers such as Nicki Minaj and Lil Kim have paved the way for up and coming female rappers. Typically in this genre females are represented as being eye candy for the males for example wearing skimpy outfits, the lyrics used by male rappers and being stared at by men, Gaze Theory is often used to represent this. Whereas males are represented being dominant, rich and powerful this is often represented by them having a lot of money , driving nice cars , being followed by a huge entourage and having a lot of tattoos.
Hip-Hop appeals to a particular kind of audience as some young males want to emulate rappers for their status. This also appeals to some young females as they wouldn't mind being the girlfriend of a rapper. However both males and females enjoy the lyric used by rappers.
Where as RnB appeals to a wider audience
Over the years the lyrics used in Hip-Hop have become very controversial, even being accused of glorifying gang culture and violence.
