Although fanzines started in the Science fiction community. They really came into their own as they were adopted by music fans, most especially the
punk rock DIY community and the development and mass distribution of the
Copy machine. There are thousands of fanzines published currently, on an variety of topics: music, clothes, scene reports, the
local music scene, etc. In the beginning, they started as humble black and white xerox things. Now they have progressed to full color slick items. Another branch is the
ezine or electronic
zine which is on the internet.
