When considering ideas I found that it was difficult to think of original and catchy titles that were associated with music and also gave an indication to the the genre of my music magazine. Therefore I decided to focus more on titles that connoted the genre of my music magazine rather than deriving from musical dialect. Taking this into account I have formulated some ideas for the name of my own magazine.
Praised - derives from the word popular; this is therefore relevant to my magazine as it is a popular and in trend music magazine. It is also used to describe one's respect and gratitude towards something, especially in song, this therefore shows that my magazine not only focuses of the gossip of artists but also the quality of the music itself.
Craze - "an enthusiasm for a particular activity to object which appears suddenly and archives widespread but short-lived popularity" As my magazine is about trends, which can also be referred to as a craze, it clearly describes my magazine. It also creates a sense of excitement and so encourages the readers to buy the magazines to keep up with the 'craze'.
Mania - "an excessive enthusiasm or desire; an obsession." This also does not refer to music, although it does describes the feeling that my magazine would give you. It represents the obsession that society has with modern, chart music and how we can become so involved in it, just like my magazine.
Fix - this suggests addiction. It implies that my magazine will be the 'fix' to people's music addiction.
Air - Charts music is around us everyday, even if we don't consciously seek it out. Popular music plays in shops and on the radio all the time. Therefore Air suggests that my magazine focuses on the music that is everywhere (just like air) and evokes the idea that it is an essential part of your life.
Novelty - 'the quality of being new, original, or unusual'. For this I decided to focus on the 'new' definition of the word. Chart music is always changing. What is popular depends of the social attitudes at the time. Therefore Novelty connotes that my magazine focuses on what's new, and suggest that it is essential if you want to keep up with the current trends.
