A british weekly magazine that has been going for 50 + years. It used to be good but it has turned into a magazine for pop fans who realise they are too old for Smash Hits when they start university and feel the need to listen to 'cool' music. It is shit. Too image obsessed and is always trying to create 'scenes'. Slowly the quality of journalism has deteriated from once being good to now giving away free glossy posters and only have one page a album reviews. Some say it is the fault of the current editor. (Conner McNicholls or something like that)

Poorly written, sensationalised UK music weekly. Likes white music. No longer the 'bible' it once was, concentrates on and indie scene that is slow diluting itself into the mainstream.

Someone who solely bases their music tastes on whats hot in the nme and calls themselves indie, then typically writes all these bands on their myspace in an attempt to be new and cool rather than backcatoluging through other genres of music.
favourite bands include: klaxons, hadouken!, the young knives, metric, les incompetents, vincent vincent and the villians, and any bands that havent quite reached the mainstream yet, but are publicised in nme. usally dont own any of these bands albums but have downloaded one of the tracks from limewire. generally doesn't buy any clothes unless their from topshop/topman.
