Representation of a social group in my magazine

The content in my magazine is ideally aimed at the younger adult, from about age 15 to 25. These people will listen to modern rock bands on a regular basis and could be able to play an instrument, so the part of the magazine that helps the person find a good guitar or effects pedal wouldn't be lost on them.  The social group will listen to a range of different artists and will also be willing to listen to new and upcoming bands to increase the amount of bands they like. My magazine features quite heavily on bands and not so much on solo artists as there are not that many solo artists in my genre. The reader will be into the whole 'band' scene and would have a large amount of interest in reading how many bands became famous or got a break and got a record deal. The clothing they would tend to wear would be quite casual like a pairs of jeans and a hoodie, sometimes the clothing style would border on grunge but still be fairly up date and relaxed.
