NO LONGER A FANzine 1993–1995

NO LONGER A FANzine was a seven-issue publication from the early 1990s, edited by Joseph A. Gervasi. It focused on the Philadelphia hardcore scene and featured interviews with musicians and bands, including Abraham Rodríguez Jr. and Green Day, as well as conversations with other zine editors, tour diaries, and essays. Each issue of NO LONGER A FANzine included a note explaining that it was a 100% DIY publication, accompanied by a picture of Gervasi with his cat. Gervasi offered a trading advertisement in NO LONGER A FANzine for services and abilities he required. In the final issue, he reported on the activities of the Cabbage Collective, a group that organized all-ages, smoke-free, and alcohol-free hardcore shows in Philadelphia. In 2013, Gervasi started the Loud! Fast! Philly!, an audio interview archive that preserves the aural history of the Philadelphia hardcore punk scene.
