Target Audience Notes and Moodboard

Today I had a look at the top music charts on iTunes and via the internet, we can see that pop is a very popular genre of music, if not the most popular. However, the pop genre is not everyone's favorite and isn't loved by all people or age groups as the genre itself is considered 'mainstream'. So in knowing this, I think that pop music is aimed more at the younger generation. Teenagers listen to a lot of chart music also so i believe that although pop is a popular genre of music it is not favored by everyone.
While some of the pop genre artists are aimed at both males and females, I would say that artists such as Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus and Beyonce are aimed mainly at females while artists such as Coldplay or Maroon 5 would be aimed more at both males and females.
The pop songs themselves may be aimed at those who aren't really 'into' music, suggesting that they listen to radio channels that play pop genre songs very frequently because its fun and easy to listen to (such as Capital, Kiss and Heart). Below is a mood board that I have created to represent the kind of people who listen to the pop genre. I've included friends and family in this to show my range of audience.
