Brat Magazine

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 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 last issue to the printer. The circulation was going to be around 15,000 copies (?), and was to go to at least 4 different cities. The zine never got back on its feet from the betrayal even though the issue was reworked over a year later and revamped, ready for publication.

Members were linked to Anti Racist Action, Bodyhammer, No More Authority, The Brycc House, Highlands Lowlife, Verbivore, and much much much much much much more.
