(Casey Casem calls 'zines the "alternative newspaper." If you have the same
opinion, you need desparately to read this. In a way he does have a point,
but most "hip" people see that as an insult, I know I do. We are for every-
one, we don't focus on one clique or any clique. Everyone needs to be
involved. We are not "Rock the Vote," but we are making an attempt to unite
the future decision makers of the world.)

--=>HEY MAN, WHY DO YOU CALL IT "KILL YOURSELF?" THAT'S OFFENSIVE!
People suck, plain and simple. I hear it everyday, "oh my god, i have
split ends," or "i broke a nail," or "my teacher is giving me a B, what
will I ever do?," or "he was making fun of me." Sure everyone has feel-
ings and express them in a different way, but I don't wanna hear your
bitching and complaining because I don't care. In addition, "why isn't
pot legal? that's so dumb," or "jesus, they should get rid of that law."
If you want that law to go away, peel your dingleberry ass off the love
seat and organize people, do something, anything. If you are that
concerned with losing fifty cents KILL YOURSELF!

º There are alot of problems within this country, hell this planet. Everyoneº
º knows what they are. But I don't want to hear them in the form of a º
º complaint. Here, we hope to show the problem in a form of an explanation º
º and not a complaint. Furthermore, we are doing what we can to provide º
º solutions to these overwhelming problems. Suggestions, solutions, etc. º
º are greatly needed. We don't have all the answers. We need solutions from º
º everywhere. We need unity. We need to get off our lint infested couches, º
º get our fingers out of our asses and maybe, just maybe we can change a º
º complaint into a suggestion and over time discontinue this zine because º
º it's purpose will have been served. º

Are staff isn't extensive. So we only have so many ideas. That's why yours
are so important. You, the readers, will add to our staff, supplying ideas
when needed, which is always. The time is now. Act. With out you we have
no purpose. Whether we agree or not, we will enter your message in the
'zine. E-mail address is requested so that others can write to you and
eventually a cicrculation involving those who reply, those who respond,
and everyone else. This world is in decay. It's time for Reconstruction.

PROBLEM 1 of 100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000:
There is an abcense of unity. For example, you go to a punk show, or
some burn-out fest for "neo-hippies" who can't cope unless gonja is
present, and even though all these people have a common interest,
I mean they must because they're most likely there to see a band or
some shit, they don't seem to unite. You go to a show, and I do it too,
and you just hang out with the people you know, making fun of those who
are probably really fucking cool. That's a problem. How do we fix it?
SOLUTION 1 of 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000:
Let's see, I'm not some "god," I could be wrong, and if you don't agree
with this, you tell me what the answer could be. But here's what I say:
Next time you rip off the flier for the next big punk rock show and
put it up on your wall, prepare yourself for a journey through the
unknown, boldy go where no freak has gone before. Do the one thing you
would never think of doing, just go up and say what's up, if you can do
it with your chemistry lab partner you could do it with them. And if you're
the one who this is happening to, don't be a prick or condesending or some
shit, because you aren't better than them because your both at the same
punk rock show. The more friends, the better. You have maybe 10 friends,
look at Hitler, he had thousands of people under him. I'm not saying that
you should create a dictatorship, I am saying that the more friends, the
more protection. If you don't get along with your real family, create an
alternative.

PROBLEM 0678 of 3897498:
Trend. Everywhere you look you're bound to find that R.E.M. invoked skin
tight shirt with a big ugly heart on it. You'll always find that girl
who dyed her hair white to impersonate the lead singer of the cranberries.
There's always that one "alterna-teen" as they call it, who flips through
Seventeen, Rolling Stone, Vibe, or any other mainstream teenage magazine
looking for the latest styles from their favorite Top 20 band.
SOLUTION 678 of 3897498:
You don't have to look like a walking advertisement for Gap to be cool.
It seems that so many people need to dye their hair or whatever to express
themselves. Sure it's art, and I like it, hell I have a leather jacket
with 400 studs and lots of painting on it. I like expression too, but at
the same time, people feel that this is the only method of expression but
it's not. How about writing a book or painting a picture, and if you can't
do this try speaking to people, bible pushers do it, why can't we? There's
nothing wrong with looking like a "freak" if you can back yourself up, if
you can spread your words of wisdom across this desensitized trash heap
called America.

PROBLEM 60 of 26:
In no other "scene" have I seen a worse example of the following, unless
you include gangs or some shit, than in the "punk scene." I like punk
rock, I like going to shows, I like the look, I'm into it. But I don't
like "you like the grateful dead? what kinda punk are you?" or "I'm more
punk because I have more tattoos, records, I've seen more shows, or
because I don't listen to that stupid new school shit."
SOLUTION 60 of 26:
Punk is punk, plain and simple. You don't have to have a mohawk. If you
have to ask someone if you're a punker, I've got news for you...

PROBLEM 200 of 6003:
I don't wash my hair for a few days at a time because it's less fluffy. It
bothers me when it's washed everyday. On the other hand, how about your
friend who says, "god, I haven't washed my hair or showered for a week"
when in reality he washes it once maybe twice a day or he who says,
"god I haven't washed my hair or showered for a week" and not because he
doesn't like washing his hair or smelling, he just wants to be different.
SOLUTION 200 of 6003:
Jesus, if you have to be so different as to not wash your hair I think you
are just way too cool for me. Expression can be conducted in so many more
productive ways. No one cares if you haven't washed your hair since 1956,
hell it's a good way to lose friends unless you're having some sort of
contest. Use your talents to your advantage, be something, because either
telling people you haven't showered or simply not showering is no way to
get the recognition we all want. It's psychological and we all need it.
Don't deny compliments make you feel better inside, because they do no
matter how little you shower.

TO CLOSE:
Greed. Materialism. Garbage. Which word doesn't fit? They all do. Don't be
selfish. Be glad you've got what you've got because if you take advantage
of your friends to get things you think you need, you'll end up with shit.
And if this still doesn't make sense, KILL YOURSELF!
