Final choice of genre

When thinking about which genre I would choose, I originally looked to the genre of music that I like the best which is Musical Theatre. I kept trying to think of ways that I could make it work but in the end, I decided that it was going to be too hard for me to do. It would be like making a music magazine for Alternative Reggae and Folk Dance Euro Pop or something.
I decided to stick to normal conventions of a magazine and choose something that would sell and that people would be able to give opinions on easily and something that I would be able to find out a lot of information about (i.e. statistics, target audience) where I wouldn't be able to find anything like that out for a Musical Theatre magazine since one doesn't exist.

The choice that I originally decided to go with was pop. I thought I would like to do this style because there weren't many pop magazines around but when I tried to think of magazine names and picture styles for a pop magazine but everything started to come out with rock/indie features. I then thought of the name 'Anthem' for the magazine name and I really liked it but that also reminded me of a rock magazine so I decided to change the magazine genre from pop to rock.
