When we are born we are all different, we all are individual to some extent.
We all have different tastes and thoughts and feelings.
Our individuality can soon start to follow trends and become
some-what of a follower. The audience for popular music is no different.
The audience is not created by the music industry in my opinion, however
it is catered for. The music industry satisfy audiences down the genre
of music they enjoy, which is shaped by the audiences own personal ideologies
The audience for popular music may however be more likely to be the type of person
to follow trends easily, they may be more susceptible to media power.
Overall I believe the audience for popular music to be down to
The type of person they are rather that just the music industry's control.
