About Me

Carrie Tucker is the contributing style editor for Alternative Press magazine and contributing writer for Filter magazine and CriticalMob.com. She has written for publications such as Vice and Anthem, exploring the shadowy depths of cultural uprisings like web-show Pancake Mountain, the relevance of L.A. restaurants, and bands that are so underground they can’t even reveal their real names for fear of death. With over a decade of experience in marketing, PR, and writing for the music industry and lifestyle brands like Paul Frank and etnies, “youth culture” (shudder) is intrinsic in Tucker’s very being – no matter how much she may not want it to be. Tucker’s first book I Love Geeks: the Official Handbook (Adams Media) was published in 2009, and she currently lives in New York with her video game-addicted boyfriend and their French bulldog Walter Cronkite. Turn-offs include Styrofoam packing materials, the misuse of its vs. it’s and there vs. their, cronyism, and the Internet.
