Target Audience & Sub Genres of Punk.

        I believe that our target audience will be of the ages 10-25 year olds and adults interested within the punk genre of music.

        The band will usually consist of three or four band memebers, two on vocals. The music uses simple but very effective riffs and chord combosm which is some times seen as 'Feel good music'. from a broad prospective it can offend people who like slightly heavier music. this genre was created when punk rock was split into many different and new catagories in the late 90's, creating sub genres of the like.

        People these days have become so over run with choice in the music industry that they are getting confused with the names Punk, and Pop-Punk music. Punk is the genre of the music which was considered the most 'hardcore' and original of the rebelious sound we know today as actual 'punk'. 

       Pop-Punk is a term used to name the music style of bands like Green Day, Blink 182, Good Charlotte, or Simple Plan.

       This bands were influenced by the skatepunk bands like Bad Religion, Nofx, Nirvana and many others. They then took their influences and  made the songs with more of a melodic sound, so that it would become more listenable for its audiences, so it would become projected into a mainstream audience, thus making the music more popular, and more well known. This is where the name of the sub-genre Pop-Punk comes from.
        As Pop-Punk has become more main-stream through out time, it has caused the rejection of it by many of the original hardcore punk-rockers, who are now against corporate, popular, and mainstream music brands. But to be honest, this is rarely ever the case as most punk and pop-punk bands are mainstream.

Nowadays pop-punk is influating other bands to create new styles of music like rock-pop or new hardcore-pop better known to the audience as 'emo music'

      Pop-Punk was always considered as this tyle that was around in the 80's, 90's and early 21st century, thus heavily influencing many of the great bands today. Pop-Punk also influnced fashion through-out the time it has been around. Compleing bands such as The Towers Of London, to dress in the way to make there image appear how their music is taken in.
      Alot of the first Punk music had dirty vocals, which consosted of swear words, and also dirty jokes. Where as Pop-Punk music only contains clean vocals, especially as their audiences range from as early as 10 years old to about 25-8 years of age.
