Vice Is Said to Be Headed for Bankruptcy

GenX alternative subculture in North America in the 90s & early 2000s was very apolitical. It was oppositional to the mainstream but didn't really do so around 'issues' so much as aesthetics and a general hatred for the mainstream. As someone who was quite openly (far) left wing at the time, I felt very much in the minority.

Yes there were anarchist political punks, etc but it wasn't really the focus.

I don't recall finding VICE in the late 90s, early 2000s to be political at all. It was just snarky and sometimes funny. "Dos and Don'ts" etc.

Then again, I don't really recognize what Americans call "left wing" now as "left wing."

Exactly VICE seems to be as apolitical as they can so they can get broad audience.
