Magazine are a rock band, originally from [[OopNorth Manchester]], England, noted for (arguably) being one of the TropeMakers of the PostPunk genre. Their lead singer, Howard Devoto, was originally [[FaceOfTheBand lead singer]] of the {{Music/Buzzcocks}}, but left after their first release, ''Spiral Scratch,'' allegedly believing [[ItWillNeverCatchOn that punk would be short lived]] and that something would need to be ready to take its place.

Nerd is now a redirect to an index per TRS. Also we don't trope real people unless they are playing a character


* {{Nerd}}: The band may play powerful post-punk rock and weird faintly jazzy electronic pop, but the scrawny, balding Devoto comes across as a [[NewWaveMusic New Wave]] nerd. He added horn-rimmed glasses to his look when the band reformed.

Not So Different has been renamed, and it needs to be dewicked/moved


* NotSoDifferent: "Feed the Enemy" darkly invokes this trope, suggesting that supposed differences are just someone's convenient lies.

Magazine [[PuttingTheBandBackTogether reformed]] for a while in 2009, with Noko taking the place of [=McGeoch=], who had [[AuthorExistenceFailure died]] in the interim. Adamson -- who since their breakup carved himself out a career in composing soundtracks, as well as a successful stint in Music/NickCaveAndTheBadSeeds -- left after a while, being replaced by Jon "Stan" White, and the band released a new album, ''No Thyself''. In fact, at the last count, they were nominally still going, if not visibly active.

* AccentuateTheNegative: Their songs tend towards [[invoked]] angst-verging-on-{{wangst}} with a lot of cynicism and paranoia. However, it's leavened with a fair amount of dry humour and {{surrealism}}.

* EpicInstrumentalOpener: "The Thin Air", opening side 2 of ''Secondhand Daylight''. The effect is spoiled on the [=CD=] version, as [=CDs=] don't have separate side 2s.
