Music Magazine Task 1
A music magazine is a magazine that contains information about music artists, songs and bands. There are different types of music magazines like Pop, Rock and rap. The oldest music magazine of all time is a magazine that teaches you how to play the guitar. This is called the BMG. Different music magazines are aimed at different genders and different ages. e.g, a rap magazine would be aimed at teenage boys and young adults aged 16-25. The most popular music magazine in the UK is 'Q'. The most popular music magazine in the world is 'Vibe' or 'Mojo'. I think the future of music magazines is they will become less and less popular due to technology taking over.
What is a Music Magazine ?
Below is the music magazine 'Vibe' with my favourite artist, Kanye West on the front cover. This would be aimed at teenage boys and young adults like me aged 16-25. I like this front cover because it isn't dark and depressing like other front covers i have seen of rock bands. I think this suits the style of Kanye West because he isn't the kind to have a dark side. I think if people who liked Kanye seen this front cover they would be very tempted to buy it.
A music magazine is magazine dedicated to music and music culture. Many music magazines typically include music news, interviews essays, recorded reviews, news about famous artists, concert and festival reviews.
The History of Music Magazines
The very first issue of billboard magazine was printed in 1894, however it did not become well known until 1936. This gradually evolved into radio airplay and recorded sales charts. Over time different genres of music were introduced and it wasn't long until NME ( New Musical Express ) was first issued in 1952. In the 1970s NME became the best selling british music magazine. Now there are a range of different music magazines with particular genres including rock, pop and classical music magazines.

There are different genres of music magazines such as
- pop
- Rock
- Rap
- Classic
- Heavy Metal
- Hip Hop
I think the future of music magazines is looking bad. I think this because technology is taking over now. I think nobody will by them because they will be free links to them online. I think this has already started to happen and I think from now on it will be downhill for music magazines.
