Most unwanted zine / Liz Mason.

In a series of personal essays, lists, and photo collages, Liz Mason combines themes and tropes survey respondents reported least enjoying in zines. The Most Unwanted Zine contains a satirical piece from the perspective of a self-pitying and narcissistic "social justice warrior," exaggerated poetry, photos of 30 fire escapes, a recipe for an inedible vegan pie, and more. The zine ends with a parody of Allen Ginsberg's poem "Howl," in which the author includes readers' various gripes about their zine-related pet peeves. --Alekhya.

"Based on extensive zine research and surveying, The Most Unwanted Zine incorporates everything people like least in zines. Inspired by Russian conceptual artists Komar and Melamid and their genius creations like 'The Most Unwanted Song,' The Most Unwanted Zine is a true charmer for any long-time zine reader. In Liz's own words: 'The #1 thing people said they didn't want in a zine? Poetry. So there's that. The #2 thing people complained about zines? Shitty construction. So there's that. But also, don't miss a self-involved perzine rant, ridiculous font decisions with bad letting/kerning, a poorly laid out photo spread, the obligatory punk scene report, vague or meandering ramblings, lecturing with pedantically big academic words, whining and more!'"--Antiquated Future description. https://antiquatedfuture.com/zines/the-most-unwanted-zine/
