I was born in 1959, and used to read -

Jackie, then later, Comopolitan

Jackie
Smash hits
NME
Cosmo

Shout, Mizz, Bliss, Sugar, TOTP, Sneak.

1977 born - look in, smash hits, mizz, more, looks (remember that? It was a monthly magazine all about beauty and clothes, hence the name), then Company, Cosmo and finally onto New Woman and Red. Stopped maybe 12/13 years ago when I realised I was reading the same things for the last 20 or so years and nothing had really changed…!

I don't remember getting a comic/ pre teen magazine. From 15 ish onwards, I bought Kerrang magazine every week, NME sometimes (only really for gig listings).
At uni I read Ms magazine every month in the city library (also New Scientist and Scientific American), and bought More (I think it was More, the one in the 90's with the physically impossible position of the week in)

Born late 50s, Jackie, Love Affair, Cosmopolitan, NME

Shout, smash hits, fast forward, Wild about animals, More, J 17.

As a Teen- The Unexplained

Fortean Times
Kerrang!
Buffy the Vampire Slayer

As a young adult I loved Prima when it had the paper sewing pattern stapled inside.
House Beautiful and Cosmopolitan for long train journeys.
As a teenager it was Jackie and Just 17.
The humour in Smash Hits early 80s used to crack me up way beyond a suitable age…

Twinkle
Bunty
Mandy and Judy

Although I’m actually not sure if I bought these or just read my older cousins / aunties? I was born 82.

I read Shout for a while as my mum was horrified by the position of the fortnight etc in Mizz, (I think it was in Mizz?)

Would read Bliss and Just17 when I could, but, as above, mum didn’t approve!

I think J17 etc were actually read by much younger girls (14 etc), and by the time we were 17 we’d moved onto Cosmo and Marie Clare.

I can remember thinking cosmo etc were so sophisticated. All the talk about work clothes and work make up looks etc, and all the expensive clothes and make up they assumed you could buy.

Also read my mums Woman and Woman’s Own religiously.

I can still remember specific articles or advice or problem page problems from these magazines all these years later.

As a pp said though, it’s all the same, year in year out. Nothing really changes.

200AD and Warrior! (I’m 58).

Select, Melody Maker and NME as a teenager. I liked Select the most as I found it less snarky than the other two, where the writers seemed to be in a competition to be the most sneery and sarcastic.

I don't know if anyone remembers a magazine called Minx that I think was around briefly in my early 20s (late 90s/early 2000s ) - it is occasionally mentioned as a 'ladette mag; but I really liked it as it had articles on things like 'how to throw a punch' and it was the only women's mag I saw that assumed readers might listen to anything other than mainstream pop.

Jackie, then Smash Hits and Just Seventeen. I also loved Minx. Just disappeared, suddenly though 🫤

Mates
Pink
Smash Hits - my best friend and I used to share

Just 17

bunty before that!

then ID

Mizz and Just 17. Then More. Then Marie Clare and Cosmo. Haven't bought a mag for years, much prefer a bitch through Mumsnet.

Cosmo, Vogue, Harpers Bazaar, 17. As an adult take away Bazaar Cosmo, Omni and 17 and at various times: Elle, Elle Homes, House and Gardens, Architectural Digest, Vanity Fair, which?, Country Living, a couple others I can’t remember- now I’m down to House Beautiful, House and Garden, London magazine.
