Our Evolution

Back in 2015, Maladjusted began its journey in Toledo, OH, as a print-exclusive zine. With issues popping up twice a month, it was a melting pot of art, personal tales, unique interviews, and candid reviews. By October 2023, the zine found a new digital pulse, maintaining its core ethos throughout the transformation.
