All subscriptions provide the same access, Mask is sliding scale to stay accessible: choose the subscription that you can afford.
Culture in an Age of Unrest,
Style for the Discerning Troublemaker.
In. Uncompromising. Like those stylish magazines people used to read, except about riots, queer-as-fuck style, the collapsing social order, and daily life as a precarious worker.
Highly legible, highly portable. No crazy apps, no gross ads, no logging in with Facebook, no waiting to download a new issue. Just a website that feels like a magazine.
For us, by us. Our subscription revenue pays contributors to say what they really want to say. Celebrate the voices on the margins without forcing them into the center.
Testimonials
We’ve been lurking in the corners of the internet for 57 issues, raising eyebrows and catching glances.
“Mask favors long interviews that let artists and activists tell it like it is in their own words.” – BULLET.com, magazine
“Independent journalism can beacon, especially today. People are awakening and there's support for it. Mask is one publication that revealed this to me.” – Abdu Ali, musician
“Mask is like the moody hipster sister of Jacobin Magazine. Just millenials scraping up the leftover dumps Patti Smith took in the East Village.” – Naysayers League, critics
“Mask is the only reason I'm not one of those 33-year-olds who stopped listening to new music.” – Nick Mamatas, reader
“I like that Mask is really forward about subcultural things instead of brushing those aspects under the rug.” – Steph, reader
“Man I love Mask so much. Those guys inspire me on the regular. Go read their shit if you never have.”
— Lawrence Burney, writer
“Yeah, get on it with a Mask subscription already. It’s so affordable and the content is so great.”
— @mindobscurant, reader
