Ideology

Ideology is considered to be social beliefs, visions and opinions that sums up how a person or a group such as a social class thinks, acts and understands the world.

A stereotype is a thought that has been created by a group of people.

Ideology applies to music magazines because in the way the music magazine is presented, is the ways the audience think and see it. e.g if the magazine is dark and has a man on the front holding a gun or a knife ands tattoos on his arms, you would automatically think that the magazine is about rapping.

                                                                              
  When you see this image, your brain automatically thinks this is a rap magazine because of its stereotype. The man is holding a gun to his own head, he is wearing a vest and he is covered in tattoos. We think this because we have adapted to seeing rappers in this image because real life rappers look like this.
