In this blog I will mostly be discussing what a music magazine is and the purpose of a magazine. Also a brief paragraph about The first ever music magazine and a fact about that. Next a comparison about magazines and online music websites.
A music magazine is a way to learn about music for people who do not listen to the radio or who does not go online to read or learn about bands/artists.
Each magazine has its own genre of music it represents. Genre means the type of music that artists and bands do - Rock, Indie, Pop, Singer song-writer, Folk, Rap, House. My preferred genres are Indie Rock and Singer song writer.
The very first music magazine was "Banjo Mandolin Guitar magazine" created in the UK, founded in 1903 by Mr Clifford Essex. The magazine is also known as "BMG".
The most popular music magazine in the UK at the moment is "Q". It calls itself "The Worlds Greatest Music Magazine". Less music magazines are being sold each year because more people find it easier to read magazines online. The future of music magazines is not looking good for entertainment use.
Music magazine print are different than music magazine websites. In my opinion the online magazine website is better because it can be updated more frequent than the print. If something happens which is important to the music world, you can go straight online and read about it straight away where as if you prefer reading the print magazines you would have to wait until the next week/month when the next magazine has been released to purchase.
