How About I Am Outside Of Your Window takes a selection of lyrics and puts them out of context to emphases the weird, problematic and strange lyricism contained within the songs. The zine is not making fun of the songs or bands, in fact it is a funny, engaging and thought provoking celebration of emo lyrics and songs.

How About I Am Outside Of Your Window – A zine about creepy emo lyrics, embraces the DIY nature of zines to celebrate the genre of emo. It does not debate whether the bands or songs with the zine can or should be considered emo. Instead it asks questions on whether we, as fans of emo music, should take the music literally, or give some leeway to the creative talents of the musicians.

Milo Goes to Diversity and Equality Training takes a personal look at punk rock lyrics, attitudes and the exploitation of DIY art spaces. It is a perzine where memory and personal experiences are explored in order to look at how people take advantage of the open nature of DIY art, as a way to hide behind their ignorance and homophobia.

The zine uses illustrations, comics and text to present different ideas around DIY art and spaces. It’s not a comprehensive guide, it doesn’t present a solution and I am pretty sure lots of people will disagree with the concept and ideas within.
