Lads Mags
Lad mag was a term principally used in the UK in the 1990s and early 2000s to describe a then-popular type of lifestyle magazine for younger, heterosexual men, focusing on "sex, sport, gadgets and grooming tips". The lad mag was notable as a new type of magazine; previously, lifestyle magazines had been almost entirely bought by women. It was the central cultural component of 1990s lad culture. The rapid decline of the lad mag in the late 1990s/early 2000s is generally associated with the rise of the Internet which provided much of the same content for free. Emergence of lad mags Through the 1980s efforts were made to create a market for lifestyle magazines for younger men, without success: magazines such as ''Cosmo Man'' and ''The Hit'' were short lived failures. In 1994, linked to the wider development of lad culture, two new magazines found a formula that worked: IPC's '' Loaded'' and EMAP Metro's ''FHM.'' Both magazines were selling hundreds of thousands of copies shortly afte ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Lad Culture
Lad culture (also the new lad, laddism) was a media-driven, principally British and Irish subculture of the 1990s and early 2000s. The image of the "lad"—or "new lad"—was that of a generally middle class figure espousing attitudes typically attributed to the working classes. The subculture involved heterosexual young men assuming an anti-intellectual position, shunning cultural pursuits and sensitivity in favour of drinking, sport, sex and sexism. Lad culture was diverse and popular involving literature, magazines, film, music and television, with ironic humour being a defining trope. Principally understood at the time as a male backlash against feminism and the pro-feminist "new man", the discourse around the new lad represented some of the earliest mass public discussion of how heterosexual masculinity is constructed. Lad culture peaked around the turn of the millennium and can be seen as going into decline as the market for lad mags collapsed in the early 2000s, driven by th ...
