False Start Distro replied to librarian's discussion Golden Age of Zines?"My golden age was the early 2000's. I was really young, probably 12 or 13 and had just discovered zines. The Pander boards were still up and I learned some invaluable stuff from the people on those boards and the zines they wrote. It really…"
Rick Bradford replied to librarian's discussion Golden Age of Zines?"I think what the Factsheet 5 period has over any other is, well, Factsheet 5. Zinedom was never so organized, well-informed, connected, widespread or cross-pollinated. F5 wan't the end-all-be-all but there's a lot of benefit to having a…"
Tom Hendricks replied to librarian's discussion Golden Age of Zines?"My zine Musea started in 1992. I think most of the nineties were good too. I've started the Zine Hall of Fame to salute many of the best zines from that era. It's at musea.us or at zinewiki

Madrea Marie replied to librarian's discussion Golden Age of Zines?"There are still tons of zines around, maybe more now? But that could be the Golden Age for zines, altohugh they were around much much before then. I think my own personal "golden age" would have been late 90s, that's when I discovered…"
"Every age is a golden age - every age comes to the same things in a new way.
I published my first (and only?) zine in 1977 when I was a teenage punk in the UK, going to London and seeing bands every week, we had to publish.
I published again in 1993…"
kami replied to librarian's discussion Golden Age of Zines?"so let me see if i read this right - i exist in an itsy bitsy world because pre internet i relied on things like zines to find bands?? isnt that what zines are for? sorry for growing up in a small town mate... i guess i shoulda expected my folks to…"
librarian replied to librarian's discussion Golden Age of Zines?"Heh. But, that said, were the original moveable type printing presses owned by the wealthy/business people; ie corporate interests? They weren't available to the masses to start with. Were…"
Dan 10things replied to librarian's discussion Golden Age of Zines?"I don't quite get this idea. Are you saying because they reduced the size of the audience and number of zines things were prevented from getting too mainstream? Because I think the strong underground/DIY ethics of zinesters has held pretty…"
Giz replied to librarian's discussion Golden Age of Zines?"I agree with zac, I think the golden age (in my point of view) is righ now. Internet & blogs saved the zine from the mainstream. people who were using zines as they uses blogs now are leaved the copy-shops, wich are now only used by the…"
kami replied to librarian's discussion Golden Age of Zines?"i think its a personal golden age - but also mine! :) late 80s, discovered zines, produced my own, early 20s ... found bands and movies and people thru zines and mail... its our golden era much like the music we heard in our teens and early 20s is…"
librarian posted a discussionGolden Age of Zines?
To me, the Golden Age was when Factsheet 5 was being produced - the late 80s and early 90s. Was it the golden age because it was pre-internet, and was pretty much the only way to get media that was not conglomerate controlled (that and punk records, a different discussion perhaps). That said, there was some media attention to the zine scene - books were being written on them, and some zines made it to the "mainstream", for good or ill, including FF5.Or was it my personal golden age because I…See More
librarian replied to MAS's discussion Is there a market for selling old zines as collectors items like comics?"I'm glad I stumbled onto this forum and this thread.
I have a bunch of cr*p around, including comics and graphic novels and board games etc etc etc that I need to get rid of.
And a big box of zines.
Philosophically, if I paid for the zines…"
