Technical innovations shape only a small part of computer and network culture. It doesn't matter much who invented the microprocessor, the mouse, TCP/IP or the World Wide Web; nor does it matter what ideas were behind these inventions. What matters is who uses them. Only when users start to express themselves with these technical innovations do they truly become relevant to culture at large.
Users' endeavors, like glittering star backgrounds, photos of cute kittens and rainbow gradients, are mostly derided as kitsch or in the most extreme cases, postulated as the end of culture itself. In fact this evolving vernacular, created by users for users, is the most important, beautiful and misunderstood language of new media.
As the first book of its kind, this reader contains essays and projects investigating many different facets of Digital Folklore: online amateur culture, DIY electronics, dirtstyle, typo-nihilism, memes, teapots, penis enlargement …

s of July 2019, this is no longer the nearly complete collection – it is now complete, at least as far as regular issues are concerned. It took several years of checking eBay and waiting for a few remaining issues to become available, but my patience (and yours) has now been rewarded.
I may still be missing some special issues, similar to the 1987 PC Tech Journal Directory, but it’s hard to say, since I don’t have a complete publication schedule.
I’ve also created links to all the Microsoft Languages NewsLetters that were published in PC Tech Journal, as well as an assortment of PC Tech Journal Disks containing published source code listings and more.

Remember conventions, before the pandemic? When people with one common interest gather in monstrous, fluorescent-lit halls for the weekend. Sometimes they drive each other crazy, sometimes they fall in love.
It all started when Girl Tony Hawk met Goth Britney Spears.
More specifically, it all started when we (Mia and Melissa)
met in a UCLA bathroom and talked about our love for The Breeders.
From there, a beautiful bond started to form over a mutual
fascination with all aspects of 2000s culture.
When quarantine hit in March 2020 and left us in a world
full of worry,we started to toy around with the idea of making
a Y2K-themed zine so we could bring positive, creative energy
into our lives.
We met up safely and started the zine by collaging with whatever
materials we had on hand while playing plenty of Liz Phair and
blink-182 in the background.
As time went on, our ideas and passion for the project grew
into the full-fledged webzine you see today!
More than just a webzine, this is a reflection of our generation:
how our 2000s childhoods formed us,
the way music and other media consumes us,
and why we hope to always keep a bit of the wild and
unpredictable nature of the noughties within us.
This is a movement.
This is Youth Culture 2000.

In the late ‘90s, an obscure site called Superbad pioneered jarringly bizarre, often ugly, but occasionally beautiful web design. It’s taken all this time for the rest of the internet to catch up.
