Why Zines Should Replace your Instagram Feed
Рет қаралды 55,062
Zine's are the original instagram feed, and it's time we return to this OG format, to find our way back to a slow appreciation of art and ideas.
In this video I'll be sharing my zine collection, plus the history of zine culture and zines as a solution to those exhausted and disheartened by social media algorithms.

Its been and gone.. what we need is a ZINE renaissance!! Tho i think i would pluck my eyes out if i had to read the fluffy ones advertised in this video.. i much more prefer things that make me laugh.. usually in INCREDIBLY bad taste.. not making fun of anyone.. MAKING FUN OF EVERYONE!!! Whether u have a stump leg.. or a bung eye.. gay, straight trans etc.. i think political incorrect zines are the funniest ive ever read.. but they died out in the 70s and 80s.. i would LOVE to see that again.. im not a hate filled person.. i would never want anyone to feel victimized.. i just think that freedom of speech is incredibly important.. and freedom of IDEAS are even more so.. The other day i have an awakening.. i saw this feminist "STAND UP" .. i had already written about 10 messages in the comment section about how her comedy isnt COMEDY and is just a lecture.. and bad mouthing men.. and i like to think im fairly sharp.. but i had been shooting people down like this for years.. it suddenly dawned on me.. THIS!! is how THEY SEE MY COMEDY!!! I instantly deleted my messages and shut up... funny how u can stand on a soap box and be guilty of defying the very ideology u espouse. Either way.. MORE ZINES no matter how flowery is a GREAT IDEA!! :)

Thank you so much for showing these wonderful zines! I made a batch of zines for her funeral after my beloved aunt had past. I embellished each one with beads, ribbon and felt angel wings. Everyone loved to take home the little token as a small reminder of her long life. To this day I also love looking through it. ❤

I love that you're talking about ZINES!!! Oh, I miss them! I loved learning the true history- fascinating stuff. I thought they were just a thing from the 80's and 90's since they became a cult favorite past time at my high school in the mid 90s and I even started to make one when I was a teen. I had a couple that friends made and used to pore over them constantly. I really feel the same as you in regards to "over instagram" and wanting to get back to the slowed down, focused, and intentional appreciation of art. I think it's why I've turned to following a lot of artists on youtube. *One last thing: I highly recommend Frannerd here on YT and as a wonderful zine/comic artist- she's amazing :)

I used to love zines back in childhood when I would get a lot of fanart zines of my favourite anime/games etc. For some reason I never joined the dots on it being its own accessible medium for any topic under the sun! Excited to start exploring and maybe even makes some of my own! Also surprised to see how accessible zines are near to me, Stockport is practically on my doorstep! Can't wait to take a look :D

I'm also new to the zine scene and just recently helped kickstart a few fanzines that I can't wait to see how they turn out! I'm definitely going to have to check out the zine about making zines, I'm inspired to make one myself! I also wanted to say that you've had me thinking about my own social media use - since one of your last videos. It's insanely difficult being the little guy trying to be noticed, so in response I've made a discord server specifically for artists and my handful of patrons to gather round and be heard, in effort to not fall prey to the scroll-trap. Hopefully the community blossoms with time and we can all support each other. ❤️

Unfortunately, when I went to order them, the shipping from the UK to the US was wayyyy more than the zines! This happens to me so often. I see a wonderful print, go to order it, and the shipping is astronomical I miss out on a lot of special things ☹️

Last year, I've considered doing a zine but after a homing situation popped up out of nowhere (and is still ongoing), I postponed it indefinitely till I get myself sorted out. Towards the end of the year, I want to do a Quarantine Experience Zine talking about what I have done and learnt during my time in Lockdown. The type of Zines I want are artbooks and fan comics. I wish I can contribute to a zine but I never find out about them in time.

Doing zines again has been on my mind for a while now. I like that you brought up the consumption aspect of art on instagram.

I really recommend going to zine fairs when we can again. I know a fair few are doing some online events (Hackney Comic & Zine Fair are definitely doing something) now. A few comic stores even stock zines- GOSH comics in London has a small selection and I always tend to end up browsing there too, not at the moment though obviously! It's cool to see so many people making and talking about zines.

I have never been a 'churner' when it comes to art...I tend to put a lot of ideas and details into one piece and don't often feel inspired or original so I would hardly post...in fits and starts and constantly feeling depressed about my productivity. This Zine idea fits in much better with my pace of life and I also like the idea of getting out again and promoting face to face when we can! Very inspired thank you!
