Me and the Labels I Created: Warming Up Before a Paper Magazine About Subcultures

I once said one of my wishes with @Gaia and Uranus's kiss: If I have more money to spend, I will start a physical paper magazine related to subcultures and spend a lot of money on it Support authors who write in-depth and good articles.

It may be difficult to realize this wish, but this does not prevent me from starting to host the relevant tags of the things I love on Matters now - this can be regarded as a kind of warm-up before this wish is realized.

The following are some personal and public tags that I manage. Some tags are built before and have a lot of content; some are built after the birth of the tag management function, and the content is waiting to be added. Anyway, let's list them here first.

Nerdity Overdrive (personal tag of "Let Love Power Generation Project")

" Nerdity Overdrive " is the name I use for the Let 's Power Generation Project in Matters, and the content under this tag is the article that was born from the "Let's Love Power Generation Program". The content under this tag focuses on the introduction and analysis of subculture-related works hovering between technology and art: the works that have been introduced and analyzed so far include graphic art, games, music, films, etc.

Maybe at some point in the future, when the utility of the "Let Love Power Generation Project" is nearly complete, I will use this tag as a public tag, organize articles from all Matties, and turn it into a "by" nerds for nerds" column!

Welcome to pay attention!

Grey Millennium (personal novel serial writing tag)

" Grey Millennium " is a series of novels and essays that I started to create last year, and it is also a series of works perfected due to the catalytic effect of the "Let Love Power Generation Project". The series " Grey Millennium " tells about the strange, weird and terrifying events that happened in a northeastern city that had not been blown away by the spring breeze of reform during the turn of the old and new centuries. Each novel will have different characters, but the unease behind the rapid development of technology around the millennium will connect the fate of all these people...

"Summer Vacation of 1998", currently being updated, is the second installment in the " Grey Millennium " series and debuts in the form of a novel.

Game culture (public tag)

  - by gamers, for gamers. The Video Game Institute on Matters.

The tag " game culture " acts like a "video game research institute" and will host the best video game-related articles on Matters.

The human-computer interaction of video games is one of its biggest differences from many other art forms. To a certain extent, if no one plays a game work, it can only be regarded as a semi-finished product. Therefore, the interactive nature of the game, which requires investment of time, energy and emotion, has also made the group of players a "hardcore" who loves more seriousness, and the debates about the game are always very lively.

Since the late 1990s, video games have begun to have a wider and wider audience, and the industrial model of their production and distribution has become more mature. In recent years, many "traditional entertainment media" (such as film review media) have gradually started to set up game columns, publishing game evaluation and analysis articles, in order to expand their readership. However, when dealing with games, a relatively unfamiliar medium, these traditional entertainment media often have a tendency of "excessive force", and they cannot scratch the itch in players' hearts. So I think the game has to be left to the players themselves, just like the creed of the game company Interplay in the 90s: By gamers, for gamers.

The tag " game culture " welcomes all articles related to video games, but I hope that players on Matters can play the "hard-hearted" and "realistic" spirit of the player group, and dig deeper into the game's culture and history in terms of content, or Talking about the details of technology and development; in temperament, it can be both introductory and interpretive, and celebratory and critical coexist – this is also the only condition for entering the selection area.

filmisnotdead (public tag)

  - "Film is not dead."

filmisnotdead , although this tag looks a bit vulgar, but after all, it has crossed too many platforms: Instagram, Tumblr, Twitter and other image blogs and social platforms can see a large number of users using this tag, so it will be used directly here. .

As the name suggests, the tag filmisnotdead is set up for photos taken with film (film), and all photography enthusiasts who are upstream in the digital age are welcome to publish their own works shot with film. Given the textual nature of Matters, it is hoped that the text and images added to this tag will be as exciting as the images.

In addition to sharing pictures, you are also welcome to share your love-hate relationship with film photography under this tag (such as the first experience of developing film, the strange failure of the old camera, etc...). Articles about the introduction and recommendation of film cameras and photographic equipment are also welcome.

Urbex World (public tag)

- hauntingly beautiful and beautifully haunting things, from all urban exploration lovers.

An obscure old building in the downtown area,

An unpretentious passage under the bridge...

These unremarkable places, invisible to many, are paradises for others looking for solitude and beauty.

Rusty abandoned factories in the city,

An old uninhabited house with vines in the wasteland...

These hideaways, which many see as creepy, are the sanctuary for others to experience terror and horror.

Take action, explorers on Matters, and share your city and ruin adventures! The tag "Urbex World" accepts images, texts and videos on topics related to urban exploration and ruin exploration.

Articles about Urbex's location recommendations, equipment discussions, safety instructions, etc. are also very welcome.

Uninhibited Pleasure (public tag)

- music matters

" Uninhibited Music " is a tag that contains articles related to band culture and independent music culture.

The previous name of this tag was "Bandcamp Album Recommendation", which came from the Bandcamp music album recommendation campaign that I launched before. The original intention of that event was to make Bandcamp music album recommendations a long-term event that would continue even without the bonus. After the tag management function was launched this time, we just continued to use this tag and upgraded it to "uninhibited joy", expanding the scope of recommendations, reports and comments beyond Bandcamp.

Whether it's guitar or keyboards, bands and indie musicians from all over the world will be united here at Uninhibited Music . While he/they dedicates a piece of uninhibited movement to the audience, as the author, you only need to introduce and report these musicians vigorously!

Under the tag of " uninhibited music ", please spread information about your favorite bands and musicians, recommend his/their works to more listeners, comment on his/their works, and make him/them popular by more people known. If you play a band yourself, this will also be a platform for you to show your talents.

Although the music styles are diverse and difficult to tune, as long as the articles are written with heart, they will definitely appear in the selection area.
