Target audience

Lady gaga had a broad audience including male and females, because her music has many genres it can relate to different young people. The core target age I think would be 15-30 year olds. I think the way she dresses relates to younger people because its different and they are the age group interested in fashion. On the social-economic grading her music is categorized for groups D and E, mainly students. Females aspire to be her and she has the sex appeal to young men. Also her music would be played at clubs and discos and therefore the people who are going to hear it are young adults. http://laviniasc.blogspot.co.uk/2012/01/lady-gaga-target-audience-lady-gagas.html
