Music Magazine Name Research

NME Magazine

Named after the onomatopoeic word that derives from the sound made when playing a power chord on a distorted electric guitar, Kerrang! 




Q Magazine

Originally it was to be called Cue (as in the sense of cueing a record, ready to play), but the name was changed so that it wouldn't be mistaken for a snooker magazine. Also, they thought a single letter would stand out more in shops. 



 
 

VIBE Magazine

Originally, the publication had been called Volume before co-founding editor Scott Poulsen-Bryant gave it the name Vibe. The reason for this was because it means enjoy oneself by listening to or dancing to popular music.
              


 Blender Magazine
Named blender because definition of blender means a person or thing that mixes things together so meaning a mixture of different music genre's.
