Dubstep Artists: What are they like live?

Recently, me and a few friends visited the O2 Academy Brixton to see popular Dubstep Act Nero. This was done purely for educational purposes of course..... nevertheless it allowed me to further insight into the Target Audience of this genre of music, comparing it with my research on UK Tribes. It allowed me to see if the perceived stereotypical specification associated with a fan of dubstep is as it's commonly thought of. Below shows a few video's that my friend recorded from the gig along with a youtube user's interviews with people at the gig.
Here is one of their more popular songs ^'Crush On You'^ as you can see the pictures shown on UK Tribes linked clubber gallery website Dont Stay In shows similarity to that which you could screenshot from here. This gave me some re-assurance that the classification I have chosen to represent my Target Audience was correct. As you look at the various videos taken, you'll notice that the similarities become more and more evident.
 
 ^Nero-Me & You^


^Nero- Must Be The Feeling^


As you can see in ^this video^ and as stated earlier, a youtube user recorded fans reactions before and after the gig. I can use this video to show comparisons between the images collated and the people who are interviewed, turns out, there is much more variety in terms of the types of people than I first anticipated. Many age ranges were taken into account, this can be used to help develop my ideas for my evaluation questions associated with my target audience (questions 2, 4 & 5)
