The Average age of alternative rock audiences are around late teens to mid twenties. I think this is because the alternative rock music is quite explicit with its lyrics and this follows in music videos with mature intertextuality and moderated scenes including nudity and sexual references.
My audiences hobbies may include playing a musical instrument probably guitar to feel a stronger connection to their music. My audience will also feel very close to music and will want to be very in touch with their music.They may also play video games included guitar hero and rock bang and sing it! this is another way to get involved with their favorite genre of music.
The target audience are both male and female however they are both equal as to who likes this genre more and it is very hard to figure out the exact percentage as the genre is mainstream and has a very large fan base and audience circulation.
A lot of my target audience will go to gigs and festivals to see bands of similar genres such as pop punk and industrial rock. They may also go to concerts to see their favorite bands and follow tours and be really involved with their bands performances and being supportive in the fan base.
Apart from teens i may also have an older audience as peoples who listened to 80's alternative rock may still be interested in the modern alternative rock such as people who listened to nirvana and R.E.M which alot of modern bands are inspired by as these two bands started alternative rock.
Because i have to remember this older audience i have to think carefully about how i sell my artists album. Inexperienced younger audiences will be able to download the album through Itunes or Spotify however the older generation will have been brought using the traditional way of going out and buying an album therefore CD covers and Digipaks are still and important element i need to focus on to keep all of my audience interested.
