Fluke 1991–2022

The punk fanzine Fluke started in 1991 in North Little Rock, Arkansas, cofounded by Steve Schmidt, Jason White, and Matthew Thompson. Schmidt later played guitar in the Chicago-based indie group Acquaintances, while White has played guitar for Greenday since 1999. Matthew Thompson, meanwhile, continues to edit the magazine. In a 2016 interview, he explained that Fluke mostly covered punk but reviewed hip hop albums: "We saw hip hop as punk rock, totally. Only the beat and demographic were different. Both were honest, in your face, youthful rebellion”. Recent issues have also thematized topics such as outsider art and mail art.
