are now far more easily found via the internet.

Folks who don't remember the pre-internet era can be forgiven for not remembering when things were disseminated via xerox machines, or maxell tapes, or crude flyers taped to telephone poles. It gave an edge to things, part of being a small group "in the know".

The 1995 movie, starring Lori Petty, tried to straddle the line between "edgy" and commercially viable IMHO, and didn't do a terribly effective job of either.

And it's worth remembering, in that vein, that once upon a time "Howard The Duck" was likewise considered subversive.
