About Me


Check out the latest episode of Issue Oriented to hear an interview with Karen Mitchell and Rajon Tumbokon of Define the Meaning!
Earlier this year, Define The Meaning had the opportunity to sit down with John Joseph of the Cro-Mags and Bloodclot about his newest book, Evolution of A Cro-Magnon. Interview by Justin Fullam. Production by Forrest Love. This is part 1 of a 3 part episode.


INTERVIEW WITH IANN ROBINSON WILL BE FEATURED IN DEFINE THE MEANING ISSUE 8!!
COMING UP IN A FUTURE ISSUE. CHECK OUT HIS SHOW:
What we are all about:

Define the Meaning is a zine created for fans of hardcore and hardcore-related music (punk, emo, post-hardcore, etc). The goal of Define the Meaning is to present positivity, unity, friendship, togetherness, and all of the other elements that made hardcore flourish in the past. Hardcore is not a genre of music, but a movement...a movement whose vision has been alienated by the success of many bands, promoters, and record companies that have forgotten what it means to be hardcore. This fanzine will be a vessel to share the opinions of bands and fans to provoke thought and conciousness of why hardcore ideals are important to a music community.
