the non stop

Catalog Number: 
zine, the non stop
Date: 
1990s

Volume:

Abstract: 
An in your face angst ridden zine with prose that uses the food service industry as a metaphor for the objectification of women, social conformity and rape culture.
Language:

Notes: 
I argue this is 1990s era because of the way it looks but also because it does mention the riot girl movement very briefly as a popular fashion aesthetic.
