Perfect Audience Member

Perfect Audience Member Pop music is typically aimed at a mainstream audience. A  mainstream audience likes to stick with what they know; chart music, prime time TV and local nights out. A mainstream audience prefers to stick with what's safe rather than rock the boat.  A mainstream audience member is far more likely to listen to pop music than any other genre of music. Typical pop music conventions such as bright colours, upbeat tone and repetitive lyrics tend to attract these mainstream audience members. Including these typical conventions within my pop music video is how I intend to attract a mainstream audience.

Pop Genre

Pop Genre The term "pop" originally represented any music that was popular, even rock could have been considered pop as it was popular but in the late 1960's pop and rock became increasingly different from each other. Pop music is electric and often borrows from other genres of music such as; urban, dance, country and sometimes rock.
