Music magazine name ideas

I have started a new produt of making a music magazine and im trying to think of a few names. Here are a few I thought of.

Tubbstep - I chose this beacsue it is related to my name and my favotuite music genre Dubstep

The Drop- I like this as it represents the drop in the a Dubstep song.

Bassline- The noise which is sometimes in dubstep

WUB-The noise which dubstep makes

6- A simple but remeberable name has nothing to do with dubstep

Ozone- Could represent that that dubstep is effecting the ozone or is the ozone which is protecting us.

Audience of my music magazine (Dubstep)

Music magazine genre conventions (Dubstep)

The genre conventions used in my Dubstep magazine are very much similar that to a normal magazine with the masthead either at the top of the page or down by the side. The masthead is usually bold as brass so out sticks out straight away. The front page is usually uncluttered and organised to make it as sharp as possible. The content which is written on the front is not that wordy but short and sweet so the front can be as minimal but effective. The font style used is bold and clear so it’s easy to read. The reason most of the front page is bold is because Dubstep is quite a bold music genre and something a bit different, quirky and modern with its sharpness and minimal like look. The content is both informal and formal as Dubstep is very much aimed at people who like dance or electronic music these can be people from all backgrounds. The content on the front is usually in listed in a bold font to make it simple. The house style for most Dubstep magazine is dark colours like dark black, blue and red as dub step is a usually seen as a dark music genre. On most Dubstep magazines one image is used and it fills up the whole page, it’s also mainly of the whole body whilst performing their music so you can see them in action. Many different types of photos can be used. Overall these are the main genre conventions which are used in Dubstep magazines and I am going to follow these so I can appeal to my target audience.
