I haven't looked at one in years lol. I imagine most of them are out of business or digital only but I used to love looking at magazines as a kid

I used to read The Beano as a kid, and nut's and Zoo a bit later on.
Nut's and Zoo look like straight up porn mags but they were more of a " lads mag " and covered football and manly subjects. Had the company not closed down before a bunch of fags dropped the woke bomb on the world then they would be considered toxic masculinity mags these days no doubt. -

Oh yeah, forgot about the lad mags. I never bought em, but would read them and look at the pictures when they were around. Never understood the reason for buying them. Why not just biy a porn mag? They were kinda douchey, but still sort of entertaining.

Not since maybe early 2010's, and even by then, barely. Peak magazine reading was from like late 90's to 2008.
Had a sub of Nickelodeon Magazine when it first came out. Read friends' Nintendo Power. I remember liking the fan art section and trying to recreate one with Shang Tsung from MK2 farting.
Got into skateboarding mags when I was like 12. Big Brother and Transworld were bigger than Thrasher at this time. BB had some of the Jackass guys before the show was a thing. A little homophobic with the way it made fun of rollerbladers, but it was the 90's.
Got into punk from skateboarding and other influences, and got into zines. The ones I remember the most are Maximum Rock & Roll and Punk Planet, especially this issue:
There was also some MTV special about it and much later, a movie called Bomb City was based on the events.
Went through a normie phase and got like GQ a few times.[/autismramble]
