Brat Magazine was a youth-run zine in the late 90s that focused on Bardstown Road youth culture... at first. The zine did great, not only in Louisville, but in surrounding cities as well. The magazine grew, and the focus grew with it. Towards the abrupt end of the magazine, anything that affected youth in anyway was the subject of Brat's eye.
The magazine nearly folded in 1999 after a staffer took it upon himself to use the advertising money for his own gains, leaving the magazine high and dry and unable to take the issue to the printer. After some scrambling to raise money through benefit shows, issue #9 made it to the stands. Work began on an issue #10 that never made it to completion as staff members moved away, quit, or focused more attention on the Brycc House project. The circulation was going to be around 15,000 copies (the previous issue had been 10,000), and was to go to at least 4 different cities. The zine never got back on its feet from the betrayal, loss of volunteers, and burnout and slowly faded into non-existence throughout the summer of 2000.
