How does your media product represent particular social groups?

My media product represents the social group of teenage boys (16-19) who are very into their music. The ones who are always listening to their Ipods on the bus, wearing jeans, T-shirts, a checkered shirt and vans. They are presented as talented, creative and slightly grungy. As my front cover shows there is a boy in the clothes described above; therefore the readers can feel inclusive with the dress codes and can relate to them as they are similar, this will also draw in more readers. By having the artist not looking at the camera shows that he is very interested in his music, talented as he has the skill to drum, creative as he would have had to make up a rhythm and grungy as he looks slightly messy and worn. It also represents them as stylish due to their modern dress codes, this is also reflected in the masthead as it has style and is slightly different to normal mastheads, making it edgy. The language and lexical codes used makes it represent this social group as stereotypical teenagers who like to make up words that are different, even though my magazine isn't aimed at all teenagers other teenagers may feel inclusive in this and also may want to read it even though they don't generally fit in with my target audiences dress sense and ideas increasing the reader profile.
