40 Years of Punk Advertisements


This video was presented at a UCLA Punk Event 2018; Curating Resistance Punk Conference. Now 2020 is a time where some very important punk bands are celebrating 40 years of punk rock, marking a significant milestone in music history that highlights the genre’s evolution and enduring influence.

Los Angeles Flipside Fanzine is there, capturing and documenting the vibrant spirit of punk culture, while also serving as a platform for emerging artists and underground voices. I also want to celebrate the many advertisers that contribute meaningfully to this celebration, as they play a crucial role in sustaining the punk scene.

This is a sample from when the Ten-Year Anniversary Issue # 54 came out, showcasing not just the music but also the passionate community surrounding it. Record labels, promoters, and the list goes on, all working together to keep the punk movement alive and thriving.

Through their collective efforts, we witness the resilience and creativity that punk embodies, reminding us that the essence of rebellion and self-expression continues to resonate powerfully, even today.

We were a phenomenon of punk adventure as we grew and supported a scene together. The bands and the behind the scene punks are the symbolic friendship, an explosion, of those who made it happen.

Photographers and bootleggers, with the growing punk fans, who also are the ones who helped to shape the direction that the punk scene took.  

I will always remember your support. The financial backing of advertisements in each issue of Flipside Fanzine was instrumental in enabling us to publish each edition. Thank you sincerely for your contribution.
