ZINE THEMES ROUND 2

IF YOU HAVE A BETTER IDEA, SPEAK NOW OR FOREVER HOLD YER PEACE


1. CLASS AND HIPSTERISM
2. CHANGES IN HISTORY BOOKS (that have or haven't happened yet)
3. FUTURE PERIOD FILMS SET IN THIS TIME (what they will look like and deal with topically)

  1. Film set shizz is bunk...That's clearly a subtopic of the aforementioned.

    but instead can it be: "ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTION IN ESSAY/CARTOON SKETCH FORM - If I were a food, who would play me in a film about my life?"

  5. i like that ^^^. i refuse to be a part of some wack hipster bashing shit. there is nothing new or interesting to say there. hipsters have rich parents and pretend to be poor, love irony and grizzly bear, yadda yadda yadda i'm falling asleep writing this.

  6. it aint like that, avoiding the issue of class in a zine made by 100% privileged white males is kind of ridiculous, maybe to satiate the hipster in you we should think of a better title, but really its about the idea of being "cool" being completely market driven, you are a vacuous soldier of the thrift-store gestapo etc. etc. EDIT: YOU COULD TALK ABOUT WAVVES BYPASSING CAPITALISM BY USING CRAPPY RECORDING EQUIPMENT LOL LOL LOL

  7. like i said, talking about hipsters is generally a bad idea. talking about cool goes down a righteous path of boringness. DADA
    the people who use the word cool in quotes like that come across as bitter fruitcakes (ive been guilty myself, dont get too mad)
    the idea of class is good tho, putting ur white asses in relation to the society as a whole, maybe throwing in ur two cents in solution (communism?)
    then you could throw in my idea of changing history, as in what we explain now as the truth will be explained differently in the future. how?
    then also the idea of future movies set in this time frame, like will communism still be confused with fascism... or will these anti-universal health care shlubs be the bad guys? the malcolm mcdowells? or fruit actors or whatever, with the whole food movie idea

  10. ur zines gonna be like a gimmicky themed restaurant if you get too excited on some single idea for it. just let it be, make it. talk about shit you wanna say. conspiracies, lies, communism, popular opinion, science, the future, fruit movies, etc. if you dont force it, the zine will take on an identity of its own. maybe the theme for the theme-needy can be THE ANSWER

    this zine better fucking exist or this has been a disaster cake tragedy

    ps.
    i read a comment saying somewhere that it shouldnt be rehashed information from the internet or whatever, but i disagree. im too lazy to look for all the cool shit you guys find, and would probably never know about it otherwise. AND you can put your opinion with it, ya? or present it in a certain context, so as to suggest something? then itd be just a limb of your own expression. so google away!
