1960's 70's and 80's subcultures were a big influence on social groups, mod being one for example. Someones taste in music meant they dressed in a certain way and hung out in certain places. Mod was one of the subcultures which became popular in the 1960's. Although nowadays there isn't as big of a influence by Mod as they used to be, I believe there is a big enough audience for my publication.
My media product represents a very particular social group. They are a young group of female and males (20-25 years old) who are either studying in university or in their first time full job. Whatever they are doing it involves being creative. Their main creative interest is music. They attend many music events most weekends ,especially mod themed, which is where they meet people and socialise. My audience group social calendar also is full in the day with visits to cafes for coffee and Panini's inbetween work breaks and after uni lectures. Their social group is a large one which is made up of female and males who are all very individual.
One thing that individualises them as a person is clothes. They have a keen interest in fashion and are inspired by street style trends and enjoy shopping both in store and online regularly. They have wide range of clothing which vary from highstreet to vintage. Common items found in their wardrobes are well-wore levis and baggy vintage shirts.
My social group have a relaxed outlook on life. They are enjoying their young lifestyle which is full of creative work and socialising. They might be involved in relationships with people with common interests as them by their main priority is going out with friends.
As a young group of people they are fully involved in the use of technology. They use it as a creative platform to discover mod events to attend and to communicate with friends. My audience update their social networks regularly, letting people know what coffee shop they are in or what new clothes they have brought.
