NME review

For those of you who are not aware, NME magazine was first published in the fine but indistinguishable year of nineteen fifty two. It acts as music tabloid, somewhat giving life to the newer more quirkier of bands and artists by reviewing the work they have so tirelessly assembled. In many respects NME takes on the role of some form of secret society, feeding knowledge to those people who are already knowledgeable to understand information put before them. You may not have noticed but the vocabulary used also moves to almost distance the uneducated reader with what seem to be in house phrases. It is the analyzing of the relatively unknown band, the far fetched festival or the new sub genre which could scare off the average personality. Maybe it is this it reaches and strives for in an attempt to almost appear cool; or at least show that you must be cool to read it.
