Punk vs Riot Grrrl Zine
パンク / ライオット・ガール・ジン
Punk comes from Counterculture and Riot Grrrl Zine from Publishing and Editing. They are reached for with some of the same intent, which is where they get confused.

A DIY objection to the authority of the tidy, made by cutting, pasting and dirtying.

Cuts and pastes handwritten and typed words, then copies them as they are, keeping the photocopier's crushed blacks and the crooked page.
| Punk | Riot Grrrl Zine | |
|---|---|---|
| Era | 1970s–1980s | 1990s |
| Family | Counterculture | Publishing and Editing |
| Kind | Style | Style |
| Cues | Cut-and-paste letters / Photocopier noise / Handwriting / Ragged placement | Handwriting mixed with typewriting / Shadows along the pasted edges / Crushed blacks and coarse grain / Pages copied while still crooked |
| Best used for | Voicing dissent against the rules · Giving events and communities a raw voice | Writers inside a punk scene setting down what happened to them in the first person and handing it out themselves · Claims no commercial magazine will carry, put into manifestos and calls to action and passed out at shows |
| Type | Mix newsprint letters, handwriting and stamps | Write the declarations in large capitals by hand and paste the rest in as typed pages |
| Composition | Deliberate misalignment and overlap; disturb even the margins | Treat the spread as one sheet and favor filling it over leaving margin |
| Material | Copier paper, tears, black plus a warning color | Coarse photocopy tone, staple binding, the shadows of cut edges left in |
| Caution | Borrowed rebellion is hollow. Decide what you are protesting first. | Copying the coarse photocopy look alone gets nowhere without the writing itself, in which the maker gives a name and speaks in the first person. |
