Critical Review #1: Duncombe

Duncombe wrote about zines and the bohemian punk scene that is going through the world. This section of Duncombe's book is about the how the zines give the punks who are a part of bohemian diaspora a community to be a part of. Eventhough this comminunity is not in the outside world the people who take part in this created the underground for the community to spread. 

The underground is described as a "non-geographical sprawl,"  but is mainly a list of places that where the creators of the zines can get together such as concerts and coffee places like that. With this undergound the people are comming together and bonding on their individuality andtheir differences that bring them together.

DIscussion Question: We have talked about how the punk scene is so inviting and non discriminatory, with this idea do you think that if people who were not part of the zine scene tried to join would be welcome to converse about the different ideals? Also do you think that the zine scene if it were to head mainstream would the individuals who were part of the original creators would they leave and not stay true to the zine?
