Task 4: Extension

Ways in which musicians are styled to represent different genres of music

There are many ways in which musicians are styled to represent different types of music. For example, on 'Kerrang' magazine the musicians are styled differently to the likes of a magazines which represents Pop musicians. This is all because of the target audience for a genre of music. A girl who is into Pop music and doesn't really listen to any other genre of music isn't really going to be interested in Rock or Metal music, the musicians may even scare her because of how they are presented as well as how they present themselves. Like the likes of Slipknot or Motionless In White, because of the way these musicians present themselves many people would judge them on the way they look and won't even give their music a try, but bands like Bring Me The Horizon, Pierce The Veil and Sleeping With Sirens don't really present themselves in a way which is known as scary or abnormal, making it so more people are willing to give their music ago.

It's the same with any type of musician. Rap, Pop, Punk, Goth and the likes. Rappers are also a god examples, as they also represent themselves  and are presented different. Rappers usually wear baggy clothes with a baseball cap which sometimes is backwards. Things like this for different genres attracts a certain type of audience,  but also pushes away people from a different audience who don't like that sort of stuff. 

There are cases where people don't look at the way the musician is represented,  they just listen to the music and judge them that way instead of what they're wearing, as just because of the way they look it doesn't mean that there music isn't going to be any good, for the person knows they could really like their music but they'll never know as they never gave it a try.
