Those who listen to R&B/Hip Hop

In order to gain a better understanding of those who listen to R&B/Hip Hop, and why they enjoy it. I decided to ask some people in my contact list on a social networking app called ‘Whatsapp’.

Using 'Whatsapp' as part one of my research, allowed me to easily manipulate who answers by choosing who to ask out of my audience. The majority of the audience I asked are female but I was also able to include some male preferences as well.

From some of the feedback I was able to obtain from my contacts, I was also able to get some of their opinions on why they do listen to R&B/Hip Hop. Most of the responses consist of them being able to  enjoy how most of the times the genre is able to matched every mood they may be in, as well as ‘being able to connect to my heart and culture’. The R&B/Hip Hop songs that have been published usually have lyrics which are based on real life people struggling and how they overcame them through love and family. This is what I think also helps proves the point of Dyer’s Utopian Theory, allowing the audience to listen to the music and make that song their reality.
