Interviewing the Focus Group

We interviewed, what we thought, the age groups that gave the most attention to the music video 'Glamorous' and the R&B genre as a whole. The people that we interviewed were around the ages 16 - 18 years old. We felt like this age bracket were most active in their interest for the music industry and the songs link to the famous video game GTA V. Part of making this assumption came from the comments left under the music video on youtube:



We came to the conclusion that the people commenting were mainly teenagers because they used 'slang' words such as 'lol', 'yooo' and 'tha'. There are also several references, throughout the comments, to GTA V; which has obviously peaked the teen generations' interest in the song.

From this we conducted two interviews from this age bracket. The first interview was with Lexy and Megan who expressed their interest in music beforehand and said about their interest in Pop/R&B.
The second interview was with Matt, Tom, Josh and Neetesh, who gave different perspectives on their views of the representations and ideologies associated with different types of genres.

This is the interview we conducted: Interview with focus groups
