Darkfaery Subculture Magazine has been an underground alternative source for
music, costume, and art enthusiasts since it launched as ‘dark zine’ on the
streets of Dallas, Texas in 1985. It has since undergone several transformations
since moving to Oklahoma City from the paper zine known as The Vampire.s
Playground in 1993 to the diskette compuzine of the same name, until finally it
reached a large enough fan base to become Darkfaery Subculture Magazine Online
in 1997.
Through the years it has been DFSM’s mission to bring together the
underground music, art, and fashion scenes who have, in the past, tried to
remain exclusive and reclusive unto themselves. DFSM is committed to stamping
out pretension among the genres so that fans and industry professionals can come
together to create something memorable, and darkly beautiful, for years to come.
DFSM reflects a unique lifestyle which both its readers and publishers
strive to be a part of. Featuring and attending local events, conventions, and
faires, DFSM continues to transcend the labels and prejudices placed upon the
freakish, interesting, weird world upon which we live.
