We're baaaack!

Hello there, dear scenesters,

Ready for another dose of your favourite bedtime stories?

Yes, that's right. The Scenester, the zine that stole a thousand hearts and sent many a reader groping for their spectacles to see if what they thought they had read was actually printed on the page, is now finding its way back into public view.

After french exiting the scene back in the late-90s, we have re-grouped. Seeing that no one had really filled our shoes whilst we were gone, as if having woken up from a deep slumber (rather like a coma is more like it), we find that, horror of horrors, things are exactly the way we left them!

Although much of our once quaint "indie" ethos, ideas and tastes have become much more widely accepted within the broader community (whereas once we were vilified, ostracized and caricatured as elitists for espousing them), the same type of scenester-like-cum-hipster behavior pervades, which we now take as our cue for doing what we do best.

To those who do not know what we are talking about, we invite you to read our inaugural piece, How to Be a Hipster (soon to come out). This should act as a primer. As far as our regular readers are concerned, this site though sparse at the moment will soon be packed with the stuff you came to love (to refresh your memory, visit our Print Issues page). For those young initiates who are coming in from the cold, you can catch-up on what went before by checking out Our Story.

We invite one and all to be engaged with the site. We look forward to your reactions, comments, liking, dissing, lingk-ing, finger-pointing, navel-gazing, rhapsodizing, ranting and overall engagement with us.

Whatever the shade or color of your beliefs, whatever your creed or tribe, whichever dialect or language you speak, whether you refer to us as Der Zhinester, Les Scenesterables, Da Sin-stah or just plain The Scenester, we welcome you (back) into these pages.
