Letters to the editor? Huh? You dummies have a lot of feelings about a magazine that did not exist before this very moment.

Thanks to the high-minded and illustrious journalism of our digital sibling—CREEM.com—the floodgates opened months ago, as we began reporting on everything rock ’n’ roll. Plenty of time to form opinions, eh?

Whether it’s an angry comment about Dave Carnie’s digital column “FARTWORK”—and good luck getting rid of it, he’s the editorial director!!!—or just a stupid random question, everybody’s got a take. And while CREEM may have been taking a nap for the past several decades, our current editorial staff is relatively young and spry, and we’ve been compiling your feedback expressed via emails, tweets, comments, and yes—actual mail. By the way, how did you find our office address? Are you coming to murder us?

‘ARE THERE EDITORS ON STAFF?’

Subject: Re: What is indie rock? Let’s find out.

Holy shit, if this Wheatus article is any indication of the quality of writing that is going to be in the new mag just go ahead and cancel my sub already.

Fucking hell, did you guys travel back to 1998 to find an edgy high school freshman to write this? Are there editors on staff?

Teenage Dirtbag bangs. Bands surviving independently in 2022 kicks ass. They come off like genuinely rad and interesting people who have a healthy read on exactly where they are at, all while being totally gracious to a person who is going to artlessly shit on them in the most hack way imaginable.

Have not read something this certifiably wack in a long ass time.

Edgy? Several CREEM editors were not even close to being freshmen in 1998 so this reference is confusing to us. Sorry!!! —Ed.

EDITORIAL MANDATE

I haven’t read creem recently, but back in the 70s’..the writers seemed to be pretentious, self indulgent snobs who only wanted to write about the Ramones

MUPPETS FROM SPACE

Subject: Writing

I’d love to be a rock n roll journalist. Gonzo, but not a HST ripoff.

If you’re interested I’d love to discuss story ideas ranging from music, sex, politics, and all the insanity of the modern day.

Thank you for your ambitious pitch, unfortunately an editor blacked out upon reading the words “HST ripoff.” —Ed.

Thank you for your ambitious pitch, unfortunately an editor had to go home upon reading the words “awesome sauce." —Ed.

BUSTY ADVICE

Subject: $30?

$30.00 for a tee shirt? LOL!!! Don’t make me laugh.

When will moronic companies like you realize that if you charge $15.00 you’d sell twice as many shirts and have your name on twice as many chests advertising for you? Such shortsightedness is probably why your magazine went belly up.

We prefer to keep things ass-backwards. —Ed.

ROCK AND ROLL QUESTION

Hey, are you going to be writing new issues about current rock and roll??

Thank you
