Weener, I don't think anyone's being "snobby". We're just pointing out the stupidity of producing a new music-related print magazine aimed at teens and pre-teens.

All you could ever want to know about music is widely available on the internet, and whereas print magazines run weeks behind on the news, the internet is updated daily. All you have to do is find a blog or messageboard that caters to your tastes... and you even get to hear the music you're reading about.

The music industry is supposed to have it's hands on the pulse of our culture, but it's run by a bunch of ignorant and conservative old men who are only interested in securing their retirement plan. The failure of this magazine is totally in-line with the industry's lack of vision or even basic understanding of their consumers.

Music magazines are disappearing or transforming themselves into lad mags. Presumably, guys are still suckers for heavily photoshopped coverphotos of Fergie in a bikini. Just how long will that trend last? I don't know. Sex, like music, has become so dreadfully boring from over-exposure.
