Audience Research Profiles

Pop music is generally heard by teenagers between the ages of 14 and 21, however older people also sometimes listen to pop music as well. There is no age limit, but some older people find pop music immature. Female are the main gender in the pop music industry.  Rap music is generally listened to by teenagers  between ages of 14 and 21 as well. Many older people will find rap music to inappropriate as they tend to use explicit language. Country music is listened to by almost all ages in parts of western America. In America children are brought into the likes of country because of their surroundings. However audiences in England would not listen to country music at all.

I compared the list of artists listened to by a 65 year old and a 14 year old to compare who they would listen too. The top artists for the 65-year-old listener included a few currently popular artists along with many  artists from years ago. While the top artists for the 14-year-old includes only the current artists.  Many 65-year-olds will not want to listen to current pop music, but rather pop music from when they were younger. Pop has changed a lot over time.
