If I had to pick one magazine that covered the Goth movement the best, it would be PROPAGANDA by Fred H. Berger. As a teenager in Venice, California I would go to my local magazine store and read every issue. What always got my attention were the covers, because the photos were always striking! This publication covered the underground from the perspective of someone that was a part of the community. Magazines like PROPAGANDA gave hope to youth who were in the middle of nowhere and felt isolated and lonely. I loved reading this magazine because it had so much style and conviction! Today CVLT Nation celebrates PROPAGANDA & Fred H. Berger for shining the the right kind of light on the dark side!

Thanks for posting this great blast from the past. In the shitty town I grew up in, Propaganda cracked open a window of a dark but alluring world that existed outside our limited city limits. Too bad copies aren’t available for downloads. The link above does lead to links to buy copies that are supposed to be in good to great condition.
