Kinda Cool Magazine started with a pure love for music and pop culture. We strive to create a positive environment that showcases the abilities of both performing artists and hard workers behind the scenes of the industry.
Under three general guidelines, Kinda Cool is able to exist:
Genre is not binary. In a media-based world, it’s impossible to encapsulate the incredulity of music within small categories. At KCM, genre does not exist. We refuse to limit our contributor’s coverage opportunities by the genre of the artists they’re interested in, and we hope to satisfy a larger group of music fans with our boundless coverage.
Youth have the most powerful voices in society today. They are the future of the music industry and the world. Regardless of age, we want to hear what you’ve got to say. Our goal is to stop silencing the voices of today’s youth and to instead provide a platform to the game-changers of this generation.
The future is female. We are so proud of our entirely female and non-binary team for going above and beyond in everything they do. By providing this platform to strong, motivated women and non-binary people in the music scene, we hope to play a role in moving out of a male-dominated future of this industry.
KCM features voices from multiple backgrounds and cultures. We believe we’ve created an environment where it is possible to support each other endlessly, no matter our differences, and in turn, begin to break the mold of traditional music journalism. We are very proud to work with a group of talented, motivated creatives. We will always believe in lifting up those who have something to say by providing them with a platform to do so, and creating media that is fresh and unseen.
