The number one magazine for people who really, really like The Smiths.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Originally known as the New Musical Express, the NME is one of Britain's best known and most divisive music magazines. Launched in 1952 as a newspaper, the NME picked up many fans by being one of the earliest proponents of bands such as The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. While slow to follow musical trends, the paper acted as a vanguard for punk and later socialist movements under the Thatcher government, and released several influential mixtapes for then-underground acts such as Scritti-Politti.Today, the paper focuses mostly on the indie and dance rock scenes. It has, however, become notorious for hyping nearly every band featured in its pages to near-messianic levels (especially if they're a British indie rock band) whilst in comparision demonizing all "mainstream"/pop artists (with some exceptions, like Björk). Sometimes the bands that it hypes become stars (like Arctic Monkeys and Kaiser Chiefs), other times they don't (anyone remember Shitdisco or Pull Tiger Tail?). It also has extremely close ties with youth television - most notably, The Mighty Boosh and Never Mind the Buzzcocks. And its own spinoff music TV channel.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Has nothing to do with Nightmare Enterprises.

Double Standard: In 2008 the magazine nominated Amy Winehouse for villain of the year, whilst at exactly the same ceremony nominating Pete Doherty hero of the year, even though Doherty's band The Libertines' original run ended under circumstances more messy than any controversy Winehouse would run into.

Fun with Acronyms: The fact that it's an acronym that sounds like the word "enemy" has been lampshaded often.

Award Show: The NME Awards have been given out since 1953. Naturally, the categories focus on music, though they have given a out a few awards for other mediums. They also Troll those on their list of acceptable targets by giving them less than desirable awards like "Worst Band", "Worst Album" and "Villain of the Year".
