Oh pop culture: our shining light in bleak times, the butter to our daily bread, the ultimate distraction as the world literally burns all around us. Because of this central role in the fabric of our rapidly collapsing society, it’s covered by just about everyon and, naturally, this makes most of it shitty, regurgitated, celebrity PR vomit. But not at VICE. We can certainly be vomit-inducing, but we’ve always played the “culture of the people” game differently. We cover the stuff almost no one else is allowed to – or wants to, for that matter.
It’s celebrating the anniversary of Lenny Kravitz’s dick flopping out of his pants. It’s ringing up every sex club in Amsterdam to find out if that viral glory hole voicenote is real. It’s lifting the lid on the Blackpool grime scene, unearthing some of the greatest main characters in British internet history.
Then there’s Noisey, the music offshoot so esteemed we managed to get Stormzy to perform outside our office and give life advice to school kids. And who could forget our 2010s era “…on acid!” series where writers did a variety of stuff on, obviously, acid?
All of this is to say, if you want memorable reportage serving celebrity and cultural realness, you can count on us. So, please bring your eyeballs together for even more of the greatest pop culture stories in our history:
