A zine is a handmade booklet which is made in small quantities and circulated. The content is usually too controversial or niche for the mainstream media, usually surrounding sex, gender, equality, politics, strong opinions and views. The layout of the zine’s usually does not follow the layout of other magazines or newsprint in the media; the layouts are usually collage, unusual and unorganised. (RookieMag, 2012) They communicate powerful messages and strong ideas people don’t see in mainstream media. They are an outlet for creating something personal to share with other people. They are a creative and simple outlet for all types of people with different styles, personalities, interests and approaches to society. “... It was incredibly varied: …show more content…

(Duncombe, S., 1997, pg.11) Looking at fanzine’s from the 70’s I can see an association and inspiration taken from the Jamie Reid’s ‘God Save The Queen’ album cover; the strong colours of red, blue, grey and black. The use of collage from newsprint is also used in the zine’s along with the Xerox style which happens when zine’s are made in large quantities when photocopied again and again. The Sex Pistols were a very strong influence to the punk era in the late 70’s, as the album cover was very controversial.

They used the newsprint a lot more for strong, title pages with lyrics, collage and used typewriters to create the longer paragraphs for a neat, readable text as opposed to handwriting. Usually the text was shortened, vowels taken out; as seen in the title ‘Riot Grrrl. The use of colour was a lot more feminine and vibrant, but the use of greys and blacks are still present to reflect strong ideas and opinions through the pages. In some aspects the layout of Riot Grrrl is more visually appealing rather than the seventies zine’s: they have more of a layout and usually always have a underlying theme throughout the individual zines instead of fanzines which had promotion of their band and various opinions and thoughts on the social

Bryan Wenker 11-20-17 Mus 102 Term paper On one hand, you have the '70s. Which was: the decade that produced arena rock; when the Rolling Stones both still mattered and regularly played in stadium venues; then punk and disco were born; when radio started to strictly pairing music into different formats. Then the '80s turned over a new leaf which was: the decade where rap crossed over into the mainstream; when synth pop became a viable commercial force; when such pivotal groups such as Guns N Roses, and then solo artist Michael Jackson started achieving mainstream success when MTV was born and still played music videos (that's all they played, in fact) and was a marketing force to be reckoned with. Michael Jackson was labeled as “The King

Before the age of Rock, there was little to no expression and very little individuality because this was right after the second world war that promoted the suburban lifestyle of cookie cutter housing, and, “parents dressed their children almost exactly the same; boys in high collared button up shirts, slacks, loafers, with hair slicked back, and girls in plain or patterned long dresses, high ankle socks, buckle shoes or flats, and hair done up in curls, sometimes with a nice big bow as a final touch. They were taught to stay quiet and respectful, listen to pure, innocent music, and wear plain, "normal" clothes. The teens wanted more, and rock was the stepping stone that helped them get just that.”

Glam rock music was very diverse ranging from simple rock and roll like Alvin Stardust to complex rock of Roxy Music. Influence of music was drawn from bubblegum pop, guitar riffs of hard rock, stomping rhythms, and 1950s rock and roll.

These are some of the woes I go through when I look at today’s popular music, and they are the reason why I mourn for the good old and gone times of Thriller, and Billie Jean.
