uncut

Uncut is a term with multiple uses in language and media. In general English usage, uncut describes media that remains in its original, unedited form, without cuts, edits, or censorship. The term is commonly applied to audio, film, and video releases to indicate that the content is presented as originally produced.

Uncut is also the title of a British monthly magazine devoted to music and film. The magazine, launched in the late 1990s, publishes long-form interviews, critical reviews, and features on artists, genres, and cinema, with attention to both classic and contemporary work. It is known for its thoughtful curation and for reporting on overlooked or rediscovered recordings and films. The publication has been distributed internationally and has built a reputation among music and film enthusiasts for in-depth feature writing.

Beyond its use as a descriptor and magazine title, Uncut has been used as a formal title for various works in music, film, and literature, reflecting the idea of presenting material without alteration. In each case, the word signals an emphasis on authenticity and completeness in the presented content.
