Fake (zine)
Fake was a zine covering the Washington, D.C. punk scene.[1] The zine was edited by Irene Chien, a participant in Riot Grrrl DC, and was published out of Potomac, Maryland.[2]
The sole issue of Fake, Issue 0, was released in 1992 and included interviews with notable punk and alternative rock bands Bikini Kill, Cop Shoot Cop, Circus Lupus, and The Nation of Ulysses alongside poetry and essays reflecting on the scene, racism, sexism, and popular culture at large.[3] Chien described Fake as being about her experiences "being politicized into feminism."[4][5]
Chien's statement in Fake that she did not "claim to be revolutionary, consistent, or even coherent in my feminist theory or anything," was cited by scholar Marion Leonard in her book Gender in the Music Industry: Rock, discourse, and Girl Power as an "acknowledgement of inconsistency and changing perspectives [that] may be understood as a response to the complexity of female experience, [which] inhibited an easy reading of the author's stance."[6]
Fake was featured in the University of Maryland, Special Collections in Performing Arts digital exhibition on the D.C. punk scene, Persistent Vision.[3]
Circulation of Fake was approximately 150 copies and was distributed by Chien at punk concerts,[1] through mail order, and at Tower Records.[4]
