Option: May-June 1995
Option claims to be the Music Culture magazine for Generation X. It is like the
Details of the alternative music world. I primarily picked up this magazine for
the Chemlab interview and the simple fact that it contained advertising for
such diverse labels as Extreme, Paragoric, Fifth Column & Instinct. Any
newstand magazine that carries that kind of music label backing must at least
have an inkling of what music culture is today. After thumbing through most of
the magazine I concluded that Option did indeed cater directly to the
'alternative' music culture at just about every single level and genre in
existence. Option is the only other Newstand magazine that I have had the
pleasure of reading besiding Alternative Press. The only drawback is that it is
published bimonthly but at the attractive cost of only $3.50 an issue for a 154
full color glossy magazine I'm not complaining too much.
