I need to think of a suitable name for my music magazine. As my magazine will be focused on indie music, having a name which fits the connotations of indie and music would be beneficial for me as it attracts my potential audience.
• The Matrix Number – form of intertextuality as the matrix number is an alphanumeric code stamped or handwritten into the run-out groove area of a gramophone record. The word “matrix” sounds cool and would attract a teenage audience
• Untitled- links in with the fact that indie bands are not well known and not mainstream. Sounds mysterious and weird.
• Squalid – synonym for filth and grime, fitting in with the grunge/rock/metal connotations. It isn’t a well-known and a very used word – suggesting sophistication and intelligence.
• Hush – goes against the connotations of rock and metal. Providing a unique and alien atmosphere to the magazine
• Sealed – another form of intertextuality, as the record will be sealed. Also creates a sense of danger and should not be opened. Could also link to how indie bands aren’t well known and are “sealed away” from the public.
