Music Magazines: Genre & Representation

The main audience for music magazines is men, even though it may have a lot of women readers it looks like it targets men because of the way that they are presented. For example, they will have a male artist on the front standing in a powerful dominant stance. All the colours are mainly male, the font, the articles. There is nothing in there which would interest or benefit women. This is good because most other mainstream magazines target women and there are barely any for men.
Most magazines are the same genre...rock. But music magazines to categorise music magazines so companies make more money and so that they can also categorise artists which makes it easier for the makers and readers.
