A music magazine is a magazine that is created and designed around music or a specific genre of music. It can be a variety of sub-genres or 'niche' markets. The longest running music magazine of all time focuses on Banjo\s, which shows how varied music magazines can be. Music magazines have evolved considerably over time. Kerrang is an example of a magazine that has kept its incarnation for many years, since its inception in the early 70's.
One of, if not the, most popular music magazines currently in UK circulation is NME magazine, and the most popular US magazine is Rolling Stone magazine. Music magazines appeal to audiences in many ways, most notably by featuring an artist famed for their contribution to a certain music genre, and featuring them prominently with interviews and concert reviews. I believe the future of music magazines lays primarily on the internet and social media sites. I believe these allow the music producer greater freedom over their promotion and production.
I am a fan of DJ Magazine, as it features the kind of music I most enjoy, and is one of the few to do so. It is largely interactive through polls of the top 100 DJ's. The current winner, Hardwell, recently won the title from 5 time winner Armin van Buuren. As well as artists, the magazine covers venues and festivals, as festivals are a crucial part of EDM culture. Many people enjoy EDM and it's culture, and there is no specific age people listen to EDM at. This allows the magazine to appeal to numerous people and create a magazine that appeals to several different kinds of people who all share a common love. Due to it's great community and interactivity, coupled with its strong internet presence, it becomes a very enjoyable magazine for all fans of electronic music.
