Genre research

R&B Magazines- Although this magazine is classed as a R&B this style of music has changed from that which was heard in the 60's from this style/genre. It started in the 60's with Motown but the up to date version of R&B music is more Hip hop.
                                         
                                         

Pop Magazines

Jazz Magazines- Jazz is a music genre that originated at the beginning of the 20th Century with a regular rhythm, and typically played on brass and woodwind instruments.

Heavy Metal Magazines

Heavy metal developed in the late 1960-1970's. Heavy metal lyrics and performance styles are often associated with  aggression.  Heavy metal music has massive sound, characterized by highly amplified distortion, and overall loudness.

Country Magazines

Country music uses lyrics that tend to describe family life, love, real life issues and loss.Country music often consists of ballads and dance tunes with generally simple forms and harmonies accompanied by mostly string instruments such as banjos, electric and acoustic guitars. Country music is a genre of American popular music that originated in the rural regions of the Southern United States in the 1920's.

Overall, I have chosen R&B for my magazine because I know more about artists and listen to R&B music. I have chosen this genre because personally I think more people know who the artists and bands are because they are in the media and have a high profile. This type of music suits a large range of age groups and has stood the test of time.
