REASONS WHY MUSIC MAGAZINES ARE DYING

A few weeks ago my friend was sadden with losing another one of her subscriptions like most of us, to which none of it was her fault.

Simone this is for you.

The extinct of these magazines is due to the decline in advertising revenue coupled with the growth of free online music media that most of us - mainly the youth thrive on.

1. There are fewer superstars, and the same musicians show up on every magazine cover. (Can we say Beyonce, Rhianna, Lil Wayne, JayZ, etc.)

2. Music magazines have less to offer music lovers, and music lovers need them less than ever anyway.

3. Music magazines were an early version of social networking. But now there's this thing called "social networking".

So these are the reasons why our cherished magazines are being placed in the time capsule.
