People love to say magazines are dead. They’re not. They’ve just stopped knowing what they’re for. The reason old cover stories from the 2000s still get reposted is because they captured an artist in a specific moment that social media could never replicate. Today, everything is quick and disposable. A cover story was the opposite. It gave you time, detail, and a snapshot of culture that didn’t have a filter over it. That’s why we still go back to them.
