1. The article called "Fighting the Downfall: Youth and Rebellion Between 1987 and 1997" most resembled a magazine layout with the pictures and its column format. Though the information and citation resemble a research paper. It made sense in the way it was formatted because it fit with the subject matter of the culture of Generation X.

2. The format of the article makes the audience read it as a magazine, as the first thing they see is the pictures on the page instead of getting into the sometimes boring text. It draws in the younger audience which is the planned audience for this piece. The format also causes the reader to skim over the article and reading in on things that interest them instead of having to read in depth on everything in it.

3. If the format of this paper were changed from magazine style to make it look like more of a typical college research paper the whole topic chosen would look ridiculous and no one would want to read it. The only way this topic of pop culture of the Generation X can work is if its in the format of the conveyance of pop culture or a magazine style.
