NME review

For any indie snobs that regard themselves as too cool for school, NME offers a strong insight into the indie/alternative music scene. Seen as the figurehead within its genre, a certain superiority is maintained with the foreseeing of future artists, which are set to dominate the ‘NME stereo’. This mag immediately shunts out the weak and non-familiar and quickly redirects them back to like the likes of smash hits and other such delights. It raises the bar with its passion for both current and old school sounds, creating an insistent love affair for ‘genuine’ music fans. Its ‘involved’ writing form and ‘tell it as it is’ attitude connotates a style with substance approach, which anyone would find difficult to argue with. Finally with its mixture of artists reviews, gig-line up’s and quirky adverts, any self respecting indie enthusiast would be crazy not to regard NME as nothing less than the bible.
