A Most Uncomfortable Read. Vice is a free glossy magazine based in New York City that covers contemporary independent arts and youth culture. The magazine’s readership is comprised of young post collegiate collectors of alt.cultural.capital. It is well known for being controversial, often striking an ironic pose on debauchery, sex, drugs, violence, and social issues involving race and economic class.
The magazine is also famous for pioneering a feature they call the “DOs and DONTs”, which has since been imitated by other competing magazines. The feature displays candid photographs of strangers in public places accompanied with a short piece of commentary either ridiculing or praising the person’s fashion and perceived sensibility. Vice is commonly scattered about in American Apparel retail stores adding to the stores and flair. We personally loved the recent article about how to steal sodas out of vending machines.
