In this task, I have looked into sub genres of the pop genre. The sub genre that I have looked into is Electropop and from this, the magazine that I have decided to research further into is MixMag. Electropop is a musical genre which is a mixture of electronic music and pop music. The sub genre became popular during the 1980s and has still remained popular. Various electronic instruments such as synthesizers are used to produce the music, Electropop is characterised by a distinctive low frequency synthesiser.
There are many different magazines which are specific just to electropop, an example of an electropop music magazine is MixMag. MixMag is a British music magazine which generally focuses on electronic dance and clubbing music. It was initially launched in 1982 and it is published monthly.
Electropop artists are artists such as: Ladytron- who are a band that formed in 1999, The Ting Tings- an alternative pop duo who were formed in 2004, Ke$ha, Lady Gaga and The Knife. The type of people that listen to electropop music are typically Men ages 18-24. Electropop music would typically be heard in clubs, on the radio and on music applications such as spotify.
By conducting this research into a pop sub genre, it has allowed me to find out more about the pop genre as a whole due to the fact that I now know that there are many different sub genres in the pop genre which I can base my magazine around.
A good post - but can you please include some pictures of artists/the magazine you have explored. Also can you provide examples of where you would typically hear the music?
