So I then looked into lyrics and musicians I liked, such as the smiths, kooks, arctic monkeys which gave me ideas such as 'This Charming Man'. This I did like, however I felt that it would be something that has either been done before or over done. Also I felt that it didn't create the vibe for my magazine, or that it made the audience feel misjudged. Simply because when I look at the statement, I imagine a posh, suited and booted male and well, my men are all quirky, rugged and punk - bingo. With this thought in mind, I then looked into relevent musicians that matched the criteria of my men. People with a bit of edge, old school, punk etc. With this I came to Greenday and one of their songs Jesus of Suburbia. Possible phrases in this song I considered were:
-Clipped Wings
-In a land of make believe, that don't believe in me
-To alcohol and cigarettes and Mary Jane
-We are the stories and disciples of the Jesus of suburbia
- I am the son of rage and love.
I liked them all as they were all cryptic and original. They also weren't obvious at all, which is an element I really like. They're poetic in a way, which is quite endearing. I'm still torn with which one to pick, but so far I'm swayed to ' I am the son of rage and love' because it's slightly more obvious what the zine will be about.
I'm going to ask my seminar group and see what they think - call it consumer research if you will.
