Abstract
Abstract Punk fanzines in Israel peaked in the late 1980s and the first half of the 1990s with the appearance of a few dozen titles. These fanzines were the product of an urban culture that had developed in the suburban central-Israel towns, created by teenagers with a strong attraction to European and American popular culture. The immediate influences on the fanzine culture were punk, which permeated Israel at the time - increasing exposure to western popular culture - and the liberal-civic perceptions that spread among various sectors of Israeli society, primarily among the middle class. Fanzine culture was hence a specific, yet critical, aspect of the ‘cultural revolution’ that prevailed in Israel, characterized by the downfall of the old order of the established bourgeois hegemonies, and the rise of a new cultural order.
