La posibilidad de crear una publicación que recoja tus propias inquietudes ha encontrado en la Red todo un mundo de posibilidades: los Zines dedicados a toda la clase de contenidos han llenado Internet de creadores.
Sustituyen a los tradiciones fanzines, aquellos que se construían con unos cuantos recortes de papel, la técnica del collage y mucho que decir; una estética `underground´donde lo que más importaba era lo que tuviera que decir y que se repartía de mano en mano o se vendían en tiendas de cómics.
Los nuevos zines aportan una publicidad mucho mayor, una posibilidad de expresión con más trascendencia y la capacidad de interactuar con lectores y creadores con los propios intereses.
Recogemos algunas de las razones que dan credoras de Grrrlzines
Believe it or not, I was inspired to pick up guitar and form my own punk band after reading a riot grrrl zine. My parents told me girls should not play rock music, they told me to get piano lesson instead and I was like “What the fuck?”
(Carol, Grrrl: Rebel, Malaysia)
I hope to build and celebrate a supportive network of proactive, creative women, reach out to younger women to encourage them to critique mainstream media, and have fun in the process.
(Christa Donner, Ladyfriend Zine, U.S.) Just to get the zines I love out to a wider audience (…), and to see the zine scene in Australia grow. I want more kids to discover zines as they're a way to deal with angst, boredom and depression. With my own zine I just like the idea of my writing being read and having people responding to it. I love independent publishing. I also love zines as an artistic expression.
(Kristy, Smitten Kitten Distro, Australia)
I've decided that I want to produce something that'll CHANGE people's mindsets, make them think and talk about it, make them angry, make them stand up and spit, scream and stomp on it. I want them to fucking feel for something. People are getting more and more jaded and bored as the days go by and they cannot seem to emote anything in their senseless and aimlessness. I want to stop that. I know I can’t single-handedly start a revolution and overthrow the government or anything like that. All I wanted was to start a tiny little revolution in all my reader's minds and hearts that I hope it will lead to bigger changes.
(Trent J. Edwards, Trippers Zine, Singapore)
