Possible Names For My Music Magazine

I chose these possible names for my masthead as they are very short and catchy which is a very common aspect of magazines as long titles aren't as effective on the reader.

I also came up with these ideas after doing my music magazine title research, I found that all of their names had meanings behind them that also related and made connections to their genre. For example I chose the title piercing as you get noises and sounds that just pierce your ears and it also makes a reference to body piercings which is very commonly associated with the genre of my choice as my target audience tend to like and have piercings.
I came up with the idea of 'Mayhem' as the target audience of my magazine are known for being rebellious, trouble causes that create mayhem and disruptions. Also with some of the heavier metal, they purposefully create their music to be loud and all over the place which again presents the idea of mayhem.
'Heavy' also refers to the heavy metal aspect of my genre choice, This idea is one I'm not likely going to chose as it doesn't cover every aspect of my target audience.
'RIOT!' refers to the stereotype that all of the people in my target audience are loud and disruptive. It also refers to an album by the band 'Paramore' who are very popular among my target audience and it also describes the loudness of the music.
'Misguided' is to accompany the stereotype that the people in my target audience have been mislead or gotten into the wrong crowd.
'Harsh' is used to represent and describe some of the heavier music within the genre and describe a noise of the electric guitar.
I chose the title 'Uproar' to have as my final magazine title as this has very loud and disruptive connotations that go with it. It's these connotations that are mostly associated with all of my target audience and I felt like this was the better option as it didn't exclude any of my target audience.
