Ideology is the ideas, views and attitudes that one individual or a group of people hold. In media it usually refers to the ideas behind the media text.
Representation is a way of showing the ideology.
In music everything is in a genre and each genre has its own ideology. Therefore the ideology of a music genre is shown through its representation.
It is easy to see the representation of rock and pop music and how this shows the ideology of each genre. It is easy to compare these to genres due to the dichotomy between them.
It is clear to see that each genre has its own representation. It is important for artist to follow the ideology as it makes up the conventions and is therefore recognisable to audiences. The audiences get used to these conventions and so artists stick to them in order to appeal to the audiences and sell more music.
