Audience classification for 'Blurred lines' Music video

Audience classification for 'Blurred lines' music video

My work today is discovering the Classification of the audience for the music video and song 'Blurred lines' by Robin Thicke. I'll be writing about the age range, religion, specific interests, geo demographics, etc.

Age Range:
I think that the specific age, for viewing a video such as 'Blurred lines' is around about the mid-late teens. This is because of the way the video is presented, its lyrics are rude and the music video is too much of a bad influence.The age range seems appropriate because the older a teen will be the less they will be influenced, because they'd know better.

Gender:
The gender that this video and song is aimed towards is both male and female, because boys watch for the 'eye candy' and the female audience watch because they want to be like the other girls. again I think that this is mainly influencing both genders, because the girls think that that is how they should act. Though, Males would be the more popular gender watching the video. This is because they are influenced to think that they should treat women differently, and more importantly, the wrong way.

Disposable Income:
In my opinion I think that there isn't entirely a disposable income for the specific audience. I think this because the audience either doesn't have a job, or has a form of job that doesn't pay. Although, me being a teenager myself, it is quite difficult to get a disposable income because of the world today. Though late teens can have somewhat of a disposable income because of apprentiships and they receive pay for doing jobs at home.

Religion:
In my opinion, Religious audiences would immediately turn away from this video and its lyrics as soon as the first sentence is sung. This is because the lyrics in this would be classed as a sin towards them and their religion. Firstly it shows women with a huge lack of clothing, which, also is a sin towards christians, since they believe the more clothes worn, the more close to god.

Ethnic Origin:
This music video seems quite offensive towards certain ethnicities, since it might not be how they are. Although the video does show people of different skin tone, it shows various ethnicities but in a westernised view.

Geo Demographics:
'Blurred lines would be popular from all over the world. It'd be famous everywhere because it is catchy, influencing and children think it is part of the new trend for music. It is played everywhere from towns, cities, seaside leisures, countryside and countries all around.

Specific interests:
The main specific interests for audiences watching this music video is so they know the clothing trends, make-up trends and hairstyle trends. Although, trends have changed through the years so kids think that the skimpy trends in the video are something that they would want to have. Also, speech is big in this. the video shows how there would be certain ways for a man to speak to a woman.

Ambitions:
The video in my opinion is ruining peoples life ambitions, because children now are trying to make themselves look as much like the celebrities as possible, which is bad because of the revealing clothing and bright make-up.
