This activity continued on into the 1990's, but few of the original publishers are active. A new generation of twenty-somethings have taken up the cause and continued onto the web.

Most fanzine publishers found the activity less than satisfactory. There were too many copycats, too few subscribers and advertisers. It was a labor of love, but the general features that were being promoted, independent music and culture, has become a fixture in American and European life.

You have to remembers the 1970's to understand how far we have come. Until the 1980's there were few cable TV or radio formats. Rock bands didn't have too many taverns and clubs to play in most cities across North America. Mainstream music was in style as well as the Disco craze which didn't use live acts. To sell your own record you had to have a recording contract from a major record company. Mass media was the only valid media in the 1970's.

Today, this trend towards independent production and spreading culture continues. Many would say it is still a vanity pursuit.
