Conventions of pop as a genre

Did I meet or challenge them?

Conventions

• Artists wear modern, stylish clothing.• Artist usually very happy and content with life. • Music is often about love or relationships.• Often groups show the unity associated with

teens, the primary target for this genre.• Music videos usually show the pop through

the song, but also the setting.• Pop magazines are often brightly coloured.

I have included both groups and solo artists, so to cover each possible demographic.

The magazine itself, is brightly coloured, so to appeal to teens

Columns for text, conventional to any magazine.
