More Research into music press

Even though I have chosen to base my music magazine on R&B/Hip pop. I still had to research other music genres and indentify the different lifestyle people who listen to that certain music have, compared to R&B listeners.
Therefore i decided to look at 'Kerrang' music magazine.

Image Analysis on 'Kerrang' Magazine Cover

Kerrang Music Magazine
Genre: Rock/Punk
Appearance of artists and fans:
(Male) Black clothing, really skinny jeans,dull coloured tops, vans (shoes), long hair usually black or red and spiked up. Black make up such as eyeliner, tattoos, earpiercings (but stretched out) and sometimes black nail varnish. Overall dark colours and messy style
(Female) Black clothing, skinny jeans, vans (shoes), vest tops, ripped tops, tattoos black nail varnish, usually black make up, studded belts, or bracelets/necklaces.
Fans: Would normally follow the trend of the artist and wear and act the same as them.
lifestyle and entertainment choices: Do their own thing, give attitude towards things, they don't really care about things. Have an aggressive attitude too. Like to go to gigs, drink, 'go mad', do whatever they want to do.
Music style, typical song contents and themes: Songs are usually about love, sex, drugs and life. Not usually radio friendly as may include quite a lot of swear words.

Artists/Bands: Green day, Panic at the disco, bullet for my valentine, Lost prophets
