The Role of Music Magazines

What role do music magazines have in the establishment of youth subcultures?
-> Music magazines play a vital role in the establishment of youth subcultures. Music magazines convey a certain image to go with different genres of music. For example an article about the band JLS would be represented in a different way to an article about the band The Enemy as they are different genres of music and therefore attract a different target audience. Different genres of music help to shape the personalities of teenagers as the music they listen to effects their lifestyle, for example the clothes they dress. Music magazines play the role of helping to shape the lifestyles of young people and also how they dress and speak. Therefore, music magazines influence teenagers lifestyles and therefore add to the establishment of youth subcultures as music magazine give teenagers an image for the music they listen to and young people follow this.
