Social beat

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Social Beat was a literary scene from the 1990s. The term was created in 1993 as a catchphrase for the Berlin literature festival “ Kill the Monkey ” by Jörg A. Dahlmeyer and Thomas Nöske , based on the American Beat Generation , Charles Bukowski and modern French authors. In 1993 the first protagonists met during the Mainz mini press fair , some of them in the underground anthology Downtown Germany , which was published in 1992 by Isabel Rox's publishing house, to publish a joint magazine. Among them were Roland Adelmann, Oliver Bopp, Hardy Crueger , Kersten Flenter , Hadayatullah Hübsch , Ingo Lahr, Andi Lück, Thorsten Nesch, Robsie Richter , Mario Todisco and the aforementioned Dahlmeyer and Nöske.

Readings and festivals took place across Germany after 1993, in which underground veterans such as Daniel Dubbe , Jürgen Ploog or Kiev Stingl as well as countless younger authors from all over Germany took part. The movement then partly emerged in the slam poetry scene that was developing at the same time and with which there had been strong ties since the mid-1990s, and subsided at the end of the decade. At this point in time, the last book frustration , which was first organized by Kersten Flenter and Henning Chadde in 1995 and which took place once a year, can be seen as a provisional end point , which was organized for the last time in 2000.

The first magazines of this underground movement were three so-called literature fanzines: The Ikarus (Mainz), published since the mid-1980s - later Das Dreieck , Kopfzerschmettern (Hanau) and Produkt (Duisburg). Their appearance was initially based on the booming punk fanzine scene. At the end of the 1980s and the beginning of the 1990s, a large number of other journals and magazines appeared which varied in content and presentation: 3D-Silbig (Bochum), Art & Decay (Schwarzenberg), Bulletten Tango (Bochum), Brain Surfer (Engelswies), Cocksucker ( Riedstadt), The asocial Beate (Goldberg), Der Störer (Braunschweig / Berlin), Guest Mail (Berlin), Härter (Münster), herzGalopp (Hamburg), HOKAHE (Göttingen), Holunderground (Frankfurt), Kaleidoskop (Berlin), Krachkultur ( Lintig-Meckelstedt / Munich), culture terrorist (Leverkusen), Labyrinth & Minenfeld (Osnabrück), Minotaur (Cottbus), Rude Look (Bederkesa), Secret Looser (Wiesbaden), SUBH (Cottbus and Braunschweig), Valves (Mainz) and Rotten writings (Leipzig). Many of these projects were discontinued during the 1990s. Die Wanze , which was published by various editorial teams , served as an internal information sheet .

Towards the end and beginning of the 2000s, lit fanzines from the self-service punk scene experienced a small boom, some of which are still irregular today, with My Choice (Darmstadt), Ratriot (Essen), Straßenfeger (Cologne) and Caution Schreie (Neuss) appear. The edition roadhouse, edited by Kersten Flenter from 1998–2006, was the only publication to regularly publish individual works during this period.

Some other important representatives are still active and well-known: Urs Böke, Hermann Borgerding, Martin Brinkmann , Frank Bröker, Jerk Götterwind, Axel Klingenberg , Hartmuth Malorny , Axel Monte (†), Boris Kerenski , Jaromir Konecny , Derek Meister , Jan Off , Alexander Pfeiffer , Michael Schönauer, Thomas Schweisthal, Volly Tanner , Michaela Seul and Bettina Sternberg.

The most active publishers today are Ariel-Verlag , Rodneys Underground Press , Verlag Andreas Reiffer and Killroy Media . Newly founded magazines such as MAULhURE (Essen) and Superbastard (Augsburg) publish the current scene.
