Editor/musician/music lover/ Mean Street Editor Waleed Rashidi discusses how accessible the music scene was in the 1990s, working as a professor today, and he reflects on how journalism used to be done. If you were a local band in the 1990s to the early 2000s, MEAN STREET MAGAZINE was a great place to get exposure. With its slick covers, easy to digest stories, and DIY feel, this magazine was big, cool, underground, and important. These videos are part of an ongoing video series chronicling the hardcore punk music scene. They are an addendum to the film Orange County Hardcore Scenester. This is a documentary I made that chronicles the 1990s hardcore punk scene.
