PANIC!’S TARGET AUDIENCE• Panic! At the disco would take all of this demographic into account when creating their music

videos. For example their fans seem to be quite creative as they enjoy writing and drawing, they would take this into account and create unique music videos to appeal to the fan’s creative side. This is evident in the music video for ‘Don’t Threaten me with a Good Time’ in which the lead singer Brendon Urie is in a club and is seduced and eaten by a weird tentacle monster. This would appeal to Panic! Fans as there isn't any other music videos with the same sort of narrative as Panic's!. The club scene would also appeal to Panic!'s fans since that a lot of them are lacking self confidence and probably wouldn’t be able to go to a club and socialise with people. This would fit in with Dyers utopian theory since this scenario would seem ideal to people with a lack of self confidence, it also offers escapism from the normal life of struggling to talk about people, this fits in with the Uses and Gratification theory.

TWENTY ONE PILOTS TARGET AUDIENCE• 21P would take all of this demographic into account when coming up with new music as to

appeal to as much of their target audience as possible. This is taken into account in their music video ‘Car radio’ as they appealed this video to the fans themselves. This can be seen as they normally include a deep message within all of their videos which gets the fans thinking about the message. The music also appeals to their target audience as 21pilots are often thought to be their own genre and cannot be fitted into a specific genre which each new song they make. This fits in with dyers utopian theory as the scenarios seen within 21pilots videos would be related and appeal to people who suffer from low self confidence and depression as the singer himself has also suffered through all of these. , it also offers escapism and identifying to the audience. Escapism is used to offer an escape from the normal life of struggling to talk about people whereas Identify is used so that the audience are able to see themselves within the artist as they see similar personalities/problems, this fits in with the Uses and Gratification theory.
