Come on God. Answer me. For years I am asking you why. Why are
|
|
the innocent dead and the guilty alive? Where is justice? Where is
|
|
punishment? Or have you already answered? Have you already said to the
|
|
world, here is justice, here is punishment, here..............in me.

|
|
|
Ediborial : The Dying Throes of an Angry Young Cyberpunk
|
|
|
|
It's been six months since the last issue and while these hallways have
|
|
been silent, I've been quite rowdy elsewhere. Six months of experiences
|
|
have been condensed to asterisks in the "Re:views" section later in this
|
|
issue.
|
|
|
|
But mostly I turned 26.
|
|
|
|
Much of the Angry Young Cyberpunk stuff which fueled earlier issues no
|
|
longer interests me and it gets harder and harder to get riled up over
|
|
stuff. The irony : while I'm reaching the end of the creative spurt
|
|
that generated Scream Baby, media coverage has taken off. I'm reviewed
|
|
in the TV Guide to Cyberspace as a "don't miss" and received similar
|
|
blurbs in Axcess, the Compuserve monthly magazine, and if I wasn't so
|
|
lazy I'd go look up the other references but there's a couple more.
|
|
|
|
So what does it mean to you? There won't be any speculations about Kurt
|
|
Cobain battling Richard Nixon in hell, or first hand interviews with
|
|
"Puppy" -- the Australian aborigine child at the center of the first
|
|
Usenet libel lawsuit award. No, you won't be reading any of those
|
|
shameful things in Scream Baby anymore.
|
|
|
|
Ok, maybe you will.
|
|
|
|
Tomorrow, is, after all, a new future.
|
|
|
|
What I want to explore in the next issue is those ideas and expressions
|
|
of community, that experience of belonging, that sense of being home.

PERSONALITY QUIZ : K00L, G00BER, OR CYBER CHIX?
|
|
|
|
Here is a list of names of people, most of whom I've either met,
|
|
contacted, or otherwise found out about in the last six months or so.
|
|
|
|
Your job is to decide what I think about them, whether they are K00l, a
|
|
G00ber, or a cyber chix.
|
|
|
|
I couldn't think of a way to keep track electronically, so get a piece
|
|
of scratch paper to keep score. You'll also need a second piece of paper
|
|
to cover the screen in case the answers appear on the bottom of your
|
|
screen before you have a chance to decide whether the person is K00l,
|
|
G00ber, or Cyber Chix!
|
|
|
|
And yes, it's a trick..........

|
|
|
|
If you didn't see this a mile away then you need to get with the
|
|
program. Perhaps you should stop reading Scream Baby and go for
|
|
something safer, tamer, and user-friendly. Like [CENSORED BY

Why is Paco Nathan a G00ber, you ask? Like, why isn't he K00l? Ok,
|
|
since you ask, I'm going to tell you, and if you didn't ask, then just
|
|
play along like you did. So like, I call over to his house, ya know, to
|
|
see if there's anything I could do to help out. He's putting together
|
|
the new upcoming issue of Fringeware Review (the Cyber Chix issue) with
|
|
Tiffany Lee Brown who had flown in from San Francisco to do this thing.
|
|
(She is on vacation for tendonitis and carpal syndrome, a result of
|
|
being WELL customer support). So I'm like, well I'd lost my job the
|
|
week before, didn't have much to do, and was tired of watching this
|
|
huge, HUGE spider crawling across my ceiling. So I called over to
|
|
Paco's house *TWICE* just wanting to know if there was anything I could
|
|
do to help out with the issue.
|
|
|
|
Doesn't even bother to call me back.
|
|
|
|
So he gets a g00ber rating until that b0z0head calls me back.

SLACKER MANIFESTO: Talking 'Bout My Generation
|
|
|
|
by Steve Mizrach
|
|
Seeker1@nervm.nerdc.ufl.edu
|
|
|
|
|
|
Our generation doesn't even know what to call itself.
|
|
"Twentysomethings" is just a descriptive term; a numerical fact, much like
|
|
the term "13th Generation," (since America hit the world scene) which seems
|
|
to augur something disastrous in the future. The term "Baby Busters" just
|
|
signifies that we are the bust after the Boomers, the whisper after the
|
|
Youthquake, the great demographic downswing. Douglas Copeland may put it
|
|
best when he calls us "Generation X" - not for Malcolm, but because we are
|
|
unquantifiable, a complete X-factor, paradoXical. Nobody knows who speaks
|
|
for us; what market niches we occupy; what things are closest to our
|
|
hearts. We are an enigma to our predecessors, and perhaps will be one to
|
|
the generation after us, the so-called Millenials born after 1981.
|
|
|
|
The X Generation is made up of Slackers, Hackers (a.k.a.
|
|
Phreakers, Cyberpunks, and Neuronauts), and New Jackers, those
|
|
ever-disposable urban youth prophets of Hiphoprisy. We are Ravers and Atari
|
|
Wavers, Stuck-in-the-70s-ers, and Particle Men, zooming to and fro without
|
|
a place to go. According to most demographers, we are more street smart and
|
|
pop-culture literate, and less versed in the classics, ethics, and formal
|
|
education (especially in areas like geography, civics, and history: areas
|
|
where we appear to be, in short, an academic disgrace.) Many of us do not
|
|
read, do not vote, and make sure not to care. Polls show us to be greater
|
|
risk-takers, more likely to do things that would result in self-harm, and
|
|
more materialistic than our predecessors, the Boomers. We are said to have
|
|
less ambition, less idealism, less morals, smaller attention spans, and
|
|
less discipline than any previous generation of this century. We are the
|
|
most aborted, most incarcerated, most suicidal, and most uncontrollable,
|
|
unwanted, and unpredictable generation in history. (Or so claim the authors
|
|
of 13th Generation.)
|
|
|
|
If you look at the political organizations that define our
|
|
generation, you don't see Yippies, SDS, the Diggers, or the Weathermen.
|
|
Instead, we have groups like Lead or Leave! and Rock the Vote!, which do
|
|
the radical things of registering people to vote against censorship and
|
|
asking politicians to sign pledges to reduce the deficit or leave office.
|
|
Ho hum. This is the most socially conscious, radical stuff our generation
|
|
can do? Blaming retirees and the elderly for the deficit crisis they didn't
|
|
create? Pitting the young against the old? Surely we can do better! There
|
|
are 20+something groups out there, fighting homelessness, working for the
|
|
environment, and attempting to reform education (U.S. PIRG, SEAC, USSA)
|
|
but the media never seems to notice them. Why do we allow groups like
|
|
Lead or Leave to define us? If we really wanted to solve the deficit
|
|
problem, we need to deal with entitlements, but we also must take on
|
|
the omniverous appetite of military spending as well... something Lead
|
|
or Leave seems to ignore.
|
|
|
|
The good news is that we are a generation that believes
|
|
little in talk and much in action. We shun ideology and dogma for a basic
|
|
pragmatism in all areas of life. We are less prejudiced and less sexist
|
|
than any previous generation, yet polls also show us strangely to be more
|
|
likely to commit acts of bigotry. As a generation, many of us feel that it
|
|
is our job to clean up the messes left by the ones before us - a spiralling
|
|
budget deficit, a decaying environment, or national "malaise" and decline.
|
|
We are more focused on the future than the past - we are tired of all this
|
|
"retro" nostalgia crap. Most of us detest our childhoods and the junk
|
|
culture of that time (though it seems to continually get recycled into
|
|
movies and plays, like the Brady Bunch) and are hesitant to look on our
|
|
family life as something idyllic or "the best years of our lives." We are
|
|
fiercely independent and self-motivated, able to get whatever we need
|
|
whatever the circumstances.
|
|
|
|
We despise the "retrohippies" and New Agers of our time -
|
|
bot for holding up strong ideals, but for never living up to them. We are
|
|
partisans of the New Edge - willing to explore new places, transcend old
|
|
boundaries, and think bigger than anyone else. Despite the fact that as a
|
|
generation, we seem to have accepted that we will have a worse standard of
|
|
living than our parents, individually our members express an almost
|
|
incredulous personal optimism that "I'll make it no matter what." We HATE
|
|
to be categorized, to be lumped together or labelled. Even this long list
|
|
of generalizations are only approximations - trends and tendencies that
|
|
some Xer somewhere is fighting to buck. Nobody know what music we like -
|
|
is it rap, punk, progressive, industrial, acid house, Eurotrash,
|
|
technorave, hiphop, world beat, or none of the above? Nothing defines us
|
|
the way rock n' roll did the boomers. Our consumer demographics drive
|
|
marketers up the wall; their ads always claim that they know what we like
|
|
and what we are like, and they are always wrong.
|
|
|
|
Our politics transcend definition as well. Most of us live
|
|
by the maxim "all politics is local." We feel that we were born after two
|
|
big revolutions began, ended, and rolled back. The Sexual Revolution left
|
|
us with divorce, AIDs, herpes, date rape, and skyrocketing teen
|
|
pregnancies. Instead of sexual exploration, we are left with sexual chaos.
|
|
It almost seems like none of us date anymore. We still have sex, to be
|
|
sure, but never fall in love. The Drug Revolution left us with crack, PCP,
|
|
and heroin. Today's gangbangers are too worried about their turf to want to
|
|
"turn on and tune out." We are more "conservative" than our parents only in
|
|
the sense that we feel that they went about their revolutions the wrong
|
|
way. Some of us are still searching for free love, and the true head trip,
|
|
but we want to do it Better than the Boomers: that's our motto.
|
|
|
|
Some of us are predicting eventual generational warfare
|
|
between us and the Boomers. Personally, I don't see it. We may slug it out
|
|
over a vanishing Social Security fund and exploding deficits. But
|
|
ultimately I think that our hatred toward the Boomers is concealed
|
|
jealousy. Imagine: a generation that thought it could change the world!
|
|
We're lucky to do what we can to survive, let alone believe something as
|
|
amazing as that. I admit to Boomer envy. The things I am concerned about -
|
|
consciousness expansion; human liberation; a truly just, fair, and equal
|
|
society; a unified world, at peace; and the humane development and
|
|
dissemination of technology - seem like reruns of 60s slogans. The goals do
|
|
remain the same; but the tactics are ever so different. We are cleverer
|
|
than they: they wore their slogans on a shirt sleeve. We hide ours, not
|
|
because we don't want anybody to know them, but because we know
|
|
invisibility is a weapon.
|
|
|
|
Some demographers have assigned to our generation some
|
|
pitifully "retro" roles. They say we will restore "family values" - you
|
|
know, Ward Cleaver, et al. - after the "attacks on the family" of the 60s
|
|
and 70s. We're to restore the "communitarian" ethos of the 50s - you know,
|
|
when everybody trusted their neighbors and left doors open for them to stop
|
|
by - after the crime and civil distintegration of the following decades.
|
|
We're to restore the "self respect" of those years - you know, when people
|
|
were clean, neat, disciplined, uniform, etc. NOT! In fact, we children of
|
|
the 70s are not going to bring the 50s back to America. Instead, we are
|
|
going to make the chaos of the 60s look like kid stuff - 'cause it was. We
|
|
are here to bring change - suddent and shocking, if we have to. We are
|
|
ready to bridge gaps: between people and nature, people and technology, and
|
|
most especially, people and each other.

THINGS THAT i AM ASHAMED ABOUT
|
|
|
|
By confronting my inner daemons, I hope to look them head on, and have
|
|
power over them, rather than permitting them to have power over me, and
|
|
in the process, shattering the chains of shame and humiliation that
|
|
enslave me now.
|
|
|
|
* laughing at one of the infamous Nigger Jokes. All of them were
|
|
boring, banal, and stupid, but when I read Q: What do you call two black
|
|
motorcycle cops? A: Chocolate CHiPs, I involvuntarily laughed out loud.
|
|
I quickly stifled it, but the damage had been done, my inner racist soul
|
|
exposed for the world.
|
|
|
|
* not giving my musical soul sufficient amounts of nurturing material.
|
|
About six months ago, I thought that if I turned my clock radio to the
|
|
B-Hits Station (there's one in your town, I know it) that it would jar
|
|
me out of bed and kickstart my day. What I've discovered is that out of
|
|
every 10 songs, there is 1 or maybe 2 that I actually like, and that I
|
|
am *WILLING* to wait through 8 or 9 songs until the ones I like come on
|
|
the air. I also find myself thinking, hey, that cover song by Mariah
|
|
Carey isn't as evil as I originally thought, or like when K-7 comes to
|
|
Austin (come baby baby baby come come), I consider going to the concert.
|
|
|
|
* Sometimes I can't help but think that people just really *SUCK*.
|
|
You can't count on them, all they ever do is let you down. But then I
|
|
think that, you know, you really can't make it in this world without
|
|
other people. Humans needs communities to survive. So I get sucked into
|
|
this vortex feeding frenzy of just-do-it-all-by-myself-individuality and
|
|
cant-we-all-just-get-along-community. Back and forth, back and forth.
|
|
|
|
* this whole issue is rather shameless.
|
|
|
|
* calling Paco a g00ber and a b0z0head. I mean, he's a close personal
|
|
friend of mine, and I go around stabbing him in the back in front of
|
|
hundreds, thousands of people, over some petty little thing like not
|
|
calling me back.
|
|
|
|
So for penance, I'm going to take the unusual request of asking the
|
|
Scream Baby subscribers to practice an act of random kindness and
|
|
senseless beauty.
|
|
|
|
You probably don't know this, but Paco is a *HUGE* fan of Star Trek :
|
|
The Next Generation. We were at his house, just the two of us, debating
|
|
the Picard/Borg cliffhanger episode of a couple of seasons back. I was
|
|
like, man, he's toast, and repeating "resistance is futile...prepare to
|
|
be assimilated" like it was a personal mantra. Paco didn't give up,
|
|
like I did, or stop believing. He spoke elegantly, movingly, about
|
|
humanity's capacity to confront adversity, to create dignity and
|
|
compassion in the hearts of man, where hatred, injustice, and cynicism
|
|
reside now.
|
|
|
|
I saw where my spoken words and actions were not living up to my
|
|
cyberlicious ideals, and was moved greatly. So while Paco doesn't talk
|
|
about it much, he just *loves* the show, and frequently confides to me
|
|
privately how much it inspires him, intellectually and spiritually, and
|
|
is a source of many of his ideas.
|
|
|
|
So, as you can imagine, he is greatly saddened by the imminent season
|
|
finale at the end of May.
|
|
|
|
This is where you come in.
|
|
|
|
If you have any fan memorabilia that you could send him, it would be
|
|
*really* appreciated. If there is anything electronic you can send
|
|
(.gifs, scripts, QuickTime movies, alternative stories/scenarios written
|
|
by fans, etc.) please send them to pacoid@io.com.
|
|
|
|
And even though this is too much to ask, if you have anything physical
|
|
that could be delivered by snail mail (ex: posters, action adventure
|
|
figures, trading cards, key chains, maybe even badges or something so
|
|
that Paco can hit his chest and say, "One to beam up"), send those to
|
|
2118 Guadalupe, Suite 195, Austin, TX 78705.
|
|
|
|
Please limit yourself to just the Next Generation information; Paco has
|
|
just finished editing the upcoming issue of Post Modern Culture, which
|
|
is a special theme issue exploring the homoerotic tensions between Kirk
|
|
and Spock. Needless to say, he is a little burnt out.
|
|
|
|
Whether you decide to send Paco something or not, I feel a whole lot
|
|
better now.
|
|
|
|
Sometimes I think being on the Internet is simply a substite for
|
|
therapy, but like, if you had 25,000,000 people in your group.
|
|
|
|
Till next time, see you in cyberspace!

"Baby Got Back" issues
|
|
|
|
There are so many fun, exciting, and easy ways to secure a copy of
|
|
Scream Baby that it is a shame if you didn't have all of them. I can be
|
|
slightly unfulfilled enough for the both of us, so here is how you can
|
|
own your own set.......
|
|
|
|
BUNS of STEEL -- 11/21/93
|
|
|
|
Reviews of n6, a print magazine sent free to those who responded to
|
|
electronic advertisements. This issue : Gutter-Tech. Information about
|
|
the return of Unplastic News, Henry : Portrait of a Serial Killer, and
|
|
for those who want Christmas shopping suggestions, The Johnny Marr
|
|
Murder Can Be Fun Calendar 1994.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Find Out Why They Call Me Stumpy -- 11/14/93
|
|
|
|
AXCESSerpt : ICE-T, on his new book, _The Ice Opinion, Who Gives A
|
|
Fuck?_; parental guidance warnings, and interactive subscription
|
|
information where potential subscribers answer essays to questions like,
|
|
"Henry Rollins : Savage street poet or heavy metal butthead?" and
|
|
alternative literary history : Suppose that Gabriel Garcia Marquez
|
|
replaced William Gibson as the co-author of _The Difference Engine_.
|
|
Describe the outcome of a literary coupling with Bruce Sterling.
|
|
|
|
The Hum-Drum Issue
|
|
|
|
So like R. Patrick Jones puts out this hip e-zine called Drum, a cut-up
|
|
collage involving the medical effects of psychopharmaceuticals,
|
|
Generation X revolution rants, images, magik, mescaline, and mdma, all
|
|
under the general homage of information as drug, information as altered
|
|
reality.
|
|
|
|
So like there is a space at the bottom for people to insert their own
|
|
text and then ship it off, so I'm like, yeah, gonna do it. So the first
|
|
thing I include is this shameful exploitive blurb pimping a porno film.
|
|
Go figure. Another parody of software licensing restrictions,
|
|
subscription information, tips for wanna-be ezinesters, Reservoir Dogs,
|
|
Fringeware Review, and the usual litany of disturbing, fragmented,
|
|
pull-no-punches quotes and sayings.
|
|
|
|
You Are Number Six
|
|
|
|
includes a Legal Disclaimer, Subscriber Information, ediborial on
|
|
cyberpunk e-zines, Interview with David Blair (creator of _Wax_), news about
|
|
Agrippa : The Book of the Dead, and reviews of Stephen Seagal's Under Siege,
|
|
the Cyberart Gallery in Sin magazine, Sound Photosynthesis catalog, Neal
|
|
Stephenson's Snow Crash, the video arcade game Lethal Enforcer, and the zine
|
|
Gray Areas.
|
|
|
|
I also was struck by some sort of virus that attached shameful and degrading
|
|
text to the end of this issue: information about Apartmentopia, a New Edge
|
|
apartment complex and a Q&A column by Blade X Lax, "the cyberpunk's cyberpunk"
|
|
|
|
Leri-L Issue
|
|
|
|
By day Scotto is the list moderator of the Leri-L Mailing List. By night, he
|
|
secretly aims for net.personality.dom. As guest editor of Scream Baby, his
|
|
wildest fantasies are unleashed. In addition to Scotto's writings, we have
|
|
contributions by @rez on Hypertexture, an excerpt from Rheingold's _A Slice of
|
|
Life in the Virtual Community_, Andy Hawks, and many more little mind altering
|
|
blips of information interspersed throughout.
|
|
|
|
The Talking Raven Re:review
|
|
|
|
Starts with a review of Antero Alli's Talking Raven : The Journal of
|
|
Imaginative Trouble and then it just kinda........decays. Frankly, I
|
|
don't know what the hell I was talking about or meant to say, but am
|
|
quick to cover my ass by labeling it "experimental" and "gonzo".
|
|
<shrugs shoulders> Shotgun splatter approaches to reality sometimes end
|
|
up....messy. I apologize for nothing.
|
|
|
|
The Torn Issue
|
|
|
|
The master copy of this issue was accidently left unguarded in the same room
|
|
as a small four year old child who had access to a pair of scissors. I taped
|
|
it back together, best I could, but could only find electrical tape. In
|
|
between you'll find such things as K-Mart Stocks Fractals, Transmission Error,
|
|
Baby Got Back Issues, an X-change with Paco Xander Nathan (Technology and
|
|
Consciousness Editor for bOING-bOING & Mondo, owner of Fringeware, all-around
|
|
groovy guy), and a new subscriber information / poll.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
