bobby madness replied to Craven Rock's discussion Anti-zinester sentiment! How do you feel about the term zinester?"I think its a lame term,but unfortunately one that fits most zine people.Other terms that fit,like "Overpriveledged""Worthless""Self righteous"and "Inconsequential" are also annoyingly apt."
Kari Tervo replied to Craven Rock's discussion Anti-zinester sentiment! How do you feel about the term zinester?"After a few years of using the word, I'm ready to weigh in: I don't like the term "zinester." I thought it would grow on me, but it hasn't.

Craven Rock replied to Craven Rock's discussion 200 Zine Read-a-thon Challenge!!!!"I've really loosened up on what I'm allowing myself to call a zine as it gets further into the year.
