Select Magazine June 1992

Select was a United Kingdom music magazine of the 1990s. It was known for covering the indie rock and Britpop genres, but featured a wide array of music. In 2003, The Guardian called Select "the magazine that not only coined the word Britpop, but soon came to define it."

History[edit]The magazine was launched under United Consumer Magazines in July 1990, intending to be a rival to Q magazine. Its first cover star was Prince.[6][7] Its first issue sold 100,000 copies. Between July and December 1990, its circulation hovered around 75,000. In April 1991, Spotlight sold Select to EMAP Metro. Under the editorship of Mark Ellen, the magazine began focusing on the baggy and Madchester scenes. The magazine soon became known for its coverage of Britpop, a term coined in the magazine by Stuart Maconie in its April 1993 "Yanks Go Home" edition, featuring The Auteurs, Denim, Saint Etienne, Pulp and Suede's Brett Anderson on the cover in front of a Union Flag. Several publications have called the April 1993 cover an important impetus in defining the movement's tone and opposition to American genres such as grunge.

Later, John Harris stepped down as editor, and was replaced by former Mixmag editor Alexis Petridis. Under Petridis, the magazine's image moved back towards its coverage of an eclectic array of music, aiming to reach what Petridis described as "a wide range of music fans".The magazine folded in late 2000, amid competition on the internet. Periditis later stated of its closure: "No matter how many features we did on Destiny's Child, people still thought we were a magazine about Oasis. We were forever associated with a music [genre] in decline."
