Psycho Moto Zine was a periodical published from the late 1980s to early 2000s, consisting mostly of short stories, reviews and artwork. This fanzine would later birth the Antagonist Art Movement, a consortium of like-minded artists, writers, filmmakers, etc.[1]

The magazine was originally published in 1989 under the name East Coast Exchange [2] by Ethan H. Minsker[3]. Copies were produced illicitly by friends who worked in copy shops during Minsker’s college years at School of Visual Arts in New York City and in Washington D.C. during Minsker’s summer breaks. The original focus was Washington and New York City's punk and hardcore music scenes, making it more of a punk zine. The periodical is considered small press because of its low print run and non-corporate affiliation[4].

By 1994 Psycho Moto Zine (PMZ) had transformed in to an arts and literary fanzine[5] with reviews that covered underground art, fanzines, films and music. This connection between different creative elements was the inspiration for what would later become the Antagonist Art Movement. The Antagonist Movement would later develop its own publishing branch and put out two books: Rich Boy Cries for Momma[6] and Barstool Prophets[7].

In the late '90s PMZ was featured in the Youth exhibit at New Museum of Contemporary Art in New York City's SoHo district.

Starting in 1998 and for three years after Psycho Moto Zine produced the Royal Fest at Alt.coffee it was a competitive fanzine, music and film festival again mixing creative elements. Fanzines won in categories of fiction, nonfiction, fan subjects, design and comic.

The zine continued to publish throughout the '90s and into the 2000s[8]. The printed zines have also been adapted as digital editions[9]. The zines have been and continue to be supported by the sale of physical merchandise, including TV shirts[10].

A recurring theme in the zine's modern incarnation is "Death to Blogs," [11] emphasizing the importance of independent print publications in the digital era. Furthermore, Minsker is a proponent of the handmade arts-and-crafts-style production process—cut and copy, xerox, self produce [12].
