Music Stereotypes.


Music Stereotypes:

Pop: Boy bands, Justin Bieber, Taylor Swift, Chart music.

Goth: Evanescence, poetic, dark, depressing, a lot of black.

Indie: Acoustic, random bands that nobody has heard of, misunderstood, feel left out, isolated.

Rock: MCR, A7X, B182, Green Day, SWS, PTV, BMTH, BFMV, AA, YM@6, 30STM etc.

Punk: Sex Pistols, out of time, aggressive, anarchists.

Country: Acoustic, out of tune, hillbillies, songs about loss or relationships.

Rap: Black people, gangsters, hood, growing up in harsh surroundings.

Classical: Posh, orchestras, suits, older people, piano.  

Link: These stereotypes all fit into society in the way that they form subcultures and groups of people tend to be attracted to each other based on similar music tastes and styles. They can form groups based not only on age group, seen a lot in the pop and rock genres, but also within the style of music that can appeal to a secondary audience of older people, such as goth and punk.
