ZIBER ISSUE ONE (Never Too Old To Disappoint Your Parents) aims to capture the pulse of the current underground scene—an unholy fusion of once-separate subcultures now colliding into a postmodern Frankenstein. It’s a snapshot of our chaotic now, where boundaries blur and tribes bleed into one another: punks, goths, disco queens, boot boys, dolls, softcore, hardcore, vanilla, ravers, drags, bears, new romantics, stoners, industrial kids and the list goes on.
Spawned in 2023 from the sticky floors and strobe-split shadows of East London, Ziber (@ziber.klub) is a queer club night with a postmodern spirit. It’s been described as “balmy sweat scent and silhouettes in neon lights, in between a leather fetish bar, a derelict club, a candy shop and a house party.” Born as a reaction to the sanitized anonymity of mega-clubs, Ziber’s close-knit community aspires to revive the hedonism of the heydays of European decadence: grotesque, sensual and gloriously nonsensical. The night’s sound footprint also traces a line connecting years of decadence between genres like EBM, Italo, Wave, Industrial, Dark Disco, Techno and the liminal noise that writhes between.
This publication is built as a visual and textual fever dream through photos, stories, and scraps from the floor. It’s a collective project made by our community, for our community. We’re not sure where we’re going, but the present is ours. This is us documenting it - and the people who make it real.
