This video memorializes the Screw The Status Quo Zine, which published creative content online from February 2009 to Sept 2010, and stayed live until Aug 2011. The images featured are of STSQ contributors, slogans, remnant website images, and a bunch of art from the zine. The first song was by The Flowers Of Hell, the second by Heroin And Your Veins.
Sal, the STSQ editor decided to discontinue work on the zine after starting a new project with writer Jeff Campagna. The new project is called Zouch Magazine and some of the original STSQ writers, including Meghan Clarkston and Kyle Gallagher have also joined the new posse.
The editorial duo agreed to carry forward Sal’s original publishing philosophy, which is to work as a team, assisting indie artists and writers disseminate their work to a broader audience, ignore the mainstream as much as possible while building out of the creative energy of the team, organically and serendipitously. And to ultimately give indie creatives a powerful and global platform for amplifying their vision on the web.
