Change to magazine music genre

As of now i have now changed the genre of music that my magazine will be about, this is because it has been suggested to me that grunge is dead and has now become a very niche market, so if I continued with my plans for a grunge magazine I would find it very hard to make it accessible to a larger audience.
So I have decided to do my magazine on Modern rock now with has a much larger audience, and the good thing about the genre is that it has had quite a lot of influence from grunge because after Kurt Cobain committed suicide Nirvana split up and the band went there separate ways, like for instance Dave grohl who used to drum for Nirvana went on to start a very popular band called Foo Fighters, they are more rock than grunge and I can hear in some of there songs slight grunge influences, this is also true for the second band he helped to found, which was Them Crooked vultures this was founded with John Paul Jones (best known as the bassist for Led Zeppelin) and Josh Homme ( better known for being the lead man in the band Queens Of The stone Age).
Modern rock also called Alternative rock differs from the original rock genre who had bands like ACDC and Led zeppelin, I'm trying to appeal to a younger audience so more recent bands that have come out Like Biffy Clyro and Foo Fighters, these bands feature less on guitar solo's and overly structured songs that have One Guitarist , one singer, One bassist and One drummer and maybe a Keyboard player, More recent rock bands have lost the structure of the oringinal rock bands and rock songs and have evolved with the times to create a new more up to date genre appeals to my target market.
