I still have a few music mags from the 1990s on my shelf.
Juice (Australia), Lime Lizard (UK), Vox (UK), Rolling Stone (Australia), Puncture (USA)
What music magazines did/do you buy?

This image shows a collection of 1990s alternative music and culture magazines spread out on a wooden surface. The magazines include multiple issues of "Lime Lizard," "Vox," "Juice," and others like "Puncture" and "Rolling Stone." The covers feature various musicians and bands popular in the alternative and grunge scenes of the era, with bold typography and striking portrait photography. The overall aesthetic is very characteristic of 90s rock and alternative culture, with a mix of colorful and monochrome designs. This collection provides a nostalgic glimpse into the music journalism and visual style of that period. Michael Hutchence (INXS), Nick Cave, Harriet Wheeler (The Sundays), Hole, Lush, Whitney Houston, Carter USM, The Shamen, Kristin Hersh and Angie Hart (Frente!).
Nice memory. I never subscribed to any of these -- I just remember picking up the random Tower Records "Pulse" magazine they gave away in store in this era. And a few zines, of course.
Seeing that issue of Puncture though, with Kristin H on the cover... makes me think I might have that here somewhere. Then again, there's a ton of covers like that though on the Kristin Hersh Archives on tumblr. I might have seen it there, haha.
