Demographic Due to research I found out that genres don’t have an age limit, only the songs may be disturbing or x-rated to young listeners. Pop and rock music is based on opinions any age or person can like a particular type of music. Both rock and pop are issue all around the world, however the main stars generate from the uk and usa.

ROCK PUBLIC PECEPTION The public have many perceptions of Rock and its listeners as a whole, particularly those that do not indulge in the genre whatsoever. AUDIENCE – rock music is mainly expected to appeal to Caucasian people despite allegedly stemming back to the slaves of America. CHARACTER OF AUDIECE– it is widely believed that listeners of rock are withdrawn in character and suppress feelings of anger and depression. This Nis a stereotype and a misconception. BEHAVIOUR OF AUDIENCE – listeners of rock are expected to practise anti-social behaviour and exclude themselves from the company of others, who are unlike them. Other, very serious conceptions are that they take all part in negative activity such as drug use, devil worship and self-harm. SATANISM – rock and roll is heavily associated with devil worship or atheism. This is a common belief and although this may be true in some cases, it certainly isn’t for all. More recently hip hop and rap has come under fire for such activity, thus diverting the attention away from rock. ANGER – rock is a genre that is mainly performed in raised harsh voices, giving it the impression that it is an expression of anger; however, a lot of people do feel the opposite effects in the consumption if this music.
