Music Magazine Genre
Genre is the term used for categorisation of forms of
entertainment, a good example of this would be music; it is split up in to many
different categories with any piece of music fitting in to at least one of
them. R&B, Pop, Rock, Hip-Hop and Indie music are some of the popular genres
from the ongoing list.
In terms of various music genres, pieces of music are
separated depending on the set of traditions or typical conventions of types of
music, there are however several ways in which music pieces can be divided in
to the different genres, they can be defined by the musical techniques and
styles of the piece, the context and content of the themes of the music,
geographical origin can have an impact on the identity of a music genre
although a geographical category of music types can often stem off in to
branches of sub-genres, for example there is
genre for Brazilian music that stems down in to a number of smaller
sub-genres with the best known probably being Samba, which is popular in other
countries as well as Brazil.
After looking at the
different types of genres, for my music magazine me and my partner decided to
go for teen pop as we felt it would be a bit easier to understand why certain
codes and conventions have been used over others because we know as teenagers
what appeals to us and what doesn’t. Also teen pop is nowadays one of the most
popular genres around.
