"Punks Around" is a zine series published by Microcosm Publishing. Each issue of “Punks Around” features a story written by a contributor drawing from their experience in another country or region's punk scene. The stories are not empty descriptions of the scene, but first person narratives. The project provides an opportunity for people to shares their stories and practice their hand at creative writing, becoming a sort of archive of transnational and transregional punk counterculture.
