My favorite radio stations have got to be 95.5 and 102.7. While 102.7 focuses on the rap and R&B genres, 95.5 has a wider variety of music. I listened to channel 95.5 for an hour yesterday, and I heard pop, light rock, new rap, some old school rap, and a few R&B songs. Some of my personal favorites played included Hinder's "Lips of an Angel", Beyonce's "Irreplaceable", Ludacris and Mary J Blige's "Runaway Love", Mark Morrison's "Return of the Mack", Bow Wow's "Shorty Like Mine", and Kanye West's "Hey Mama".
I listen to this type of music because of the up-beat sound and content. I think that people who can relate to the content and issues brought up by the artists have the ability to futher appreciate the meaning behind the words. I also like channel 95.5 because I love to dance and go clubbing with my friends. They don't play country or heavy metal at the clubs! So sometimes people listen to certain genres of music because it correlates with a specific interest of hobby. I think another reason people lean towards a genre has to do with their upbringing. My grandpa wouldn't be caught dead listening to Tupac or Biggie Smalls. But I love them!
One last comment, the target audience for radio stations like 95.5 or 102.7 is definitly high schoolers (or even younger) to about 25. You can prove this by listening to the type of music played and the advertisements between songs. During the hour of listening I did, I heard about 5 club or bar advertisements. Not to say that individuals over 25 do not go to dance clubs/bars, but the majority of people who do are younger.

There are clubs out there that play techno and heavy metal, but they are under ground and you will not find them unless someone tells you about them.
So does this mean that you would listen to rock and country if they played it in clubs? haha and did your harsh upbringing in Macomb county lead you to pac and biggie? haha
Look like a lot of us listen to 95.5. I enjoy they're music too. Is dance music the only music you like?
I'm a rock/alternative person myself, but when I'm buzzin up at the club I like to dance...
i agree i like 95.5 as well
i think it is upbeat also
"They don't play country or heavy metal at the clubs!"
That depends on the kind of club you're talking about.
