For the misfits, the moshers, the early morning rockers, Why Generation is a music zine and website featuring some of the best musicians around.

But it’s more than that.

Why Generation? is an attempt at capturing the true heart of the underground music scene. It’s for the rebels, the truth-seekers, the classic rock ‘n’ rollers, those who give a damn, those who don’t give a fuck. It’s for the musicians who get on stage and rip their souls out and for those that are there cheering them on. It’s for everyone keeping the music scene alive.

It’s for you, it’s for me.
