Demographics

Demographics is a particular section of a population. This can be based on age, race, sex, economic status, level of education, income level and employment, among others. 

Social demographic table...


Stereotypically certain genres of music will be more fitting to certain classes than others. For example class A are stereotypical listeners of classical music and would be considered strange if they listened to punk due to its anti-establishment and sometimes even anarchistic ideologies. 
However classical music do not tend to have music videos therefore I can not stereotypically associate a music video with this social class. Although, the fact that this has no music video could relate to the higher class having the free time and money to go to the opera and to orchestral performances etc...
Middle class and Lower middle class could both stereotypically be fans of similar musical genres as I believe that this consist of a mixture of most genres due to being in between. 
Although, working class would stereotypically be fans of rock music, or even punk or rap. This is because the topic within these genres is often about real life problems and life issues that are not really effecting the higher classes. For example Blondie- Hanging on the telephone would be more appealing to lower classes due to it referring to issues much more strongly directed at them.
