1. Rock Music

2. Definition of rock
A form of popular music which evolved from rock
and roll and pop music during the mid and late
1960s. Harsher and often self-consciously more
serious than its predecessors, it was initially
characterized by musical experimentation and
drug-related or anti-establishment lyrics.

3. Stereotypical
The stereotypical
representations in my chosen
genre of rock, is that of a male
band, with flowing long black
hair and darkened eyes with
eyeliner etc… Also most
performers of rock are
associated with a drug
addiction or a human being
who does not care for their
body, with numerous tattoos
over themselves and dozens of
cigarettes smoked each day.
However the Magazine cover I
have chosen, does support this

4. Key Components of Rock

5. From these 3 rock magazines, you can see what the stereotypical style is and how it is used. Each
magazine contains a large main image, and a big bold bold masthead. The colour scheme is
similar for each magazine, all three use white, black and red. However KERRANG uses a small
amount of red to keep it subtle, therefore KERRANG differs from the other two styles of magazine.
