My primary and secondary audience

My primary audience will be people who are fans of garbage the band and other alternative rock genre fans. Other alternative rock bands such as; 
  • Nirvana 
  • Pearl Jam
  • Red Hot Chili Peppers
  • Oasis
  • The Smashing Pumpkins
  • Green Day
  • The Killers
Their primary target audience is generally people who are around the age of 25-45 because the band was formed in the late 80's and 90's therefore the audience who were around the age of 20 then will be older now. These bands were also younger at the time therefore their audience could connect with the band. I will be getting audience feedback from my primary audience in the future and asking them for their opinions on the non-conventional music video I have created. However, with the female protagonist being a representative of the lead singer of 'Garbage' they will recognise and have the preferred reading of the music video. I have involved the lead singer enabling the audience to recognise the band and it being one of the only general conventions of the music video that I am involving in the music video 'My Night Drive Loneliness' by 'Garbage'. 

The secondary audience would be yet older generation; such as people age 25-40 due to the fact that garbage were large at one point in the 90's. Therefore when they were big people now will be around the age of 40 and probably male. 
tMy primary audience will be people who are in their late teens early 20's because of the dark rock theme in the music and I want this to be in the music video.
My secondary audience will be people in the mid teens and I think that my music video will be for all genders because their isn't a specific gender that is stronger for the audience of the other rock bands that I am taking inspiration from. However according to yougov.com the red hot chili peppers audience is leaning to more female listeners. .This could be because of the female gaze - because it is an all boy band females tend to be more attracted to them than males.
 In my music band that I am using there is one female lead singer and the rest are male therefore there will be both male and female audience's. also the lead singer is part of the LGBTQ people therefore her audience is even more broad than the normal band.
