Identity Crisis: Punk Subculture and Community 70 pages, screen-printed cover, photocopied insides (7 oz) * OUT OF STOCK *

Identity Crisis is a series of interviews with Northwest punks about their identities, and what being punk means to them. The interviewees run the gamut of the more scene famous (Chris Bauermeister of Jawbreaker and Nomy Lamm), to folks that were recommended by friends of the author. What makes this examination of punk culture so exciting though, is that Jen(the author) acknowledges long-standing patterns in the punk community, and encourages subjects to discuss these trickier issues. Nomy Lamm is asked about scene fame, and it's origins. Laura outlines how Punk and Queer are not specifically synonymous cultures, and Kristyn addresses class politics and the common and unrealistic rejection of corporate food jobs. This zine is thorough and certainly worth the money. Not only is it screen-printed and gorgeous, but it's also engaging, and really makes you think about the punk scene, and your place in it.
