b&n magazine is a free and independent zine originally from Germany, now based in Manchester, UK. We're trying to keep it monothematic, which mostly doesn't work out. The articles are either in German or English (or both sometimes) and deal with everything vague related to popular culture, music, politics and feminism.
I don’t quite understand what’s going on here, all I can remember is sticking this label on my notebook on Friday night and joining in on a game of silly puns based around the word “beatoff” and now this: “scenester” (quote Adrian Slatcher on his blog - love it!) Fat Roland has declared a new age of outstanding literary excellence (or so) coming straight from the M-C-R: the #beatoff generation, proud(ish) heirs of the Beat, Offbeat, Beatles and Bish Bash Bosh generation. What that means? No idea. But we’re all having a splendid time with it.
Being a great fan of self-plagiarism, I’ll just quote myself from Fat R’s blog:
“Wikipedia says on the Offbeat generation: “Young, untamed, good-looking and as influenced by punk rock as they are by Proust…”
Make that “not quite so young, mostly tamed, okayish looking, influenced by all sorts of weird music and certainly nothing they could possibly agree on as they are by Proust, the MEN and obscure blogs…” for the Beatoff generation.”
Make that #beatoff. We should stick with the hashtag-name.
