PUNK ZINE: “A punk zine is a zine related to the punk subculture and hardcore punk music genre. Often primitively or casually produced, they feature punk literature, such as social commentary, punk poetry, news, gossip, music reviews and articles about punk rock bands or regional punk scenes.”
I wanted to look into punk zines as they would be a great source of inspo for my own zine layout if I like the vibe, so here’s a list of a few ongoing zines I found:
1. MAXILLA
Founder: Lotte Andersen.
What does the zine stand for?
“Falling in LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE and… figuring it out in London.”
2. Badlands 777
Founder/editor: Founders Chloe Lamb, Jade Lamb and Lilli-Rose Bailey.
What does the zine stand for? A tribute to and celebration of females world-wide.
3. Cuntry Living
Date founded: 2012.
4. Don’t Get Culty
Founder: Grace Pickering and Joseph Sweeney.
5. The Mushpit
Founders: Char Roberts and Bertie Brandes.
What does the zine stand for? “We like to think of Mushpit as a mix of the been-there-done-it big sister and your best friend. We stand for a voice that’s worlds away from the slick, straightforward women’s magazines on the market and focuses on the trickier, funnier, less glossy aspects of life.”
6. Girls Only
Date founded: 1 March 2014.
What does the zine stand for? “Our zine celebrates the fabulous work being made by the talented and unstoppable female artists that exhibit alongside or complete Girls Only residencies at our studio.”
7. O.O.M.K
Founders: Sofia Niazi, Rose Nordin, Heiba Lamara and Sabba Khan.
What does the zine stand for? “O.O.M.K literally stands for One of My Kind and figuratively stands for DIY and creative activism coming from women and girls.”
I love the aesthetic of all of these zines, and I’d definitely love to take Inso from the sort of scrap-booky, DIY, rough vibe for my own.
