Planning and Idea Development - My Chosen Genre

The genre I have chosen for my magazine is indie/rock/alternative. I want my magazine to be the same style as the NME as I believe that the indie genre of music is becoming much more popular in today's generation and society. I want my magazine to be portrayed as quite vintage and natural as that style is also becoming much more common with today's youth. The indie/rock genre also has a wide audience and particularly fits in with the target audience I have chosen of students. On top of this, I wanted to choose a genre that I am familar with so I know what things to focus on and what will appeal to my audience.
