The psychographics for the magazine are:

I think that the Reformer and the Resigned are the two main groups of people who read this magazine.





























I think traditionalists, Groupies and innovators are the main groups of people from this selection who would read the Kerrang magazine 






























I think from these groups of people, the traditionalist and contented conformers

Kerning readers are kinda out of the circle and keep themselves to themselves and have interests that not many other people have.
