About

Vice is a Canadian-American magazine focused on lifestyle, arts, culture, and news/politics. It was founded in 1994 in Montreal as an alternative punk magazine, and its founders later launched the youth media company Vice Media, which consists of divisions including the printed magazine as well as a website, broadcast news unit, a film production company, a record label, and a publishing imprint. As of February 2015, the magazine's editor-in-chief is Ellis Jones. On 15 May 2023, Vice Media formally filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, as part of a possible sale to a consortium of lenders including Fortress Investment Group, which will, alongside Soros Fund Management and Monroe Capital, invest $225 million as a credit bid for nearly all of its assets. In February 2024, CEO Bruce Dixon announced additional layoffs and that the website Vice.com will no longer publish content. The print magazine returned in September 2024.

In 2001, an exhilarating new scene started to crystallize around a hotel basement on Southend seafront. The wide-eyed kids who went there didn’t care much for violence, but they loved esoteric music, getting high, and getting off with each other, and their DIY outfits inspired the collections of everyone from Christian Dior to Debenhams. It was called Junk Club, and it was perhaps the last truly great club night in the UK. Bands like The Horrors and These New Puritans played Junk alongside DJs spinning no wave, post-punk, fruity European synth music, dub reggae, jungle, and garage rock—a heady brew for the club’s usual mix of students, university dropouts, and actual schoolchildren. Though they would wince at the terms, when people today

Alexis Sablone’s story is unlike any other in skateboarding. From Boston’s early 2000s scene and her breakout part in @pjladd’s Wonderful Horrible Life, to earning a degree in architecture and stepping away from the spotlight, Alexis always did things her own way. Her return to skating led to turning pro, competing at the highest level, and helping open the door for a new era of women in skateboarding.
