This is not an alternative culture magazine, but rather a magazine of alternative culture - an alternative to the decline of culture, literature, academia and the elite in our country; all of these are subject to a continuous process of degeneration. The degeneration of the nation has crossed the point where it can be fixed (from within), and requires the establishment of a new space, virtual and conceptual, that is a combination of profound parody and wild seriousness.

Wonder you haven't heard about it?
