Target Audience of R&B music

Target Audience of R&B Music

The majority of R&B fans are teenagers and young adults. The ages of the target audience are roughly between 13-25. I have gathered this because of the explicit lyrics in some of the songs, the majority of the target audiene are also females and so the artisits continue writing similar songs with the same meaning to appela to the target audience. It is usually females that are attracted to R&B music because female R&B artists stereotypically make songs about being in love or heartbroken which is something that will appeal to a great extent to teenage girls and young adults. The fast paced R&B songs will also involve a lot of fashion and the synergy of music and fashion is something that will also attract females because if they are into that sort of music they are usually also interested in fashion. The target audience of R&B males is also majorly made up of females because they are portrayed in a very sexual way, through their nudity and lyrics. Females will find this appealing because usually they will also be physically attracted to the male artists. However some males will be attracted to the jewellery, depiction of wealth and the attractive females. The majority of the R&B target audience is of a black background as R&B developed from soul which is a music genre that has been popular among the black culture for many years.
