Wasted Magazine

Wasted Magazine is a magazine based in Perth, Western Australia, created for stylish and intelligent Gen Yers of university age. The magazine was founded in 2006 by a number friends from the University of Western Australia, who had too much time on their hands and admired Marmalade Magazine's target positioning of "smart, good-looking people". The magazine is now run voluntarily by a large number of gung-ho soon-to-graduate students, virginal professionals and obliging creatives.

Topics covered in Wasted Magazine include local Gen Y-centric fashion, music, arts, culture, current affairs, social and LifeStyle news. The magazine throws a launch party for the launch of each issue. The last issue to be released, The Power Issue, was distributed around Perth in early May. The coming issue, The Selling Out Issue has an anticipated early September release.

In 2007, Wasted Magazine launched Wasted TV, a makeover channel available on YouTube, and WastedWire, a fortnightly e-news bulletin service. For its Summer 06/07 EDition, Wasted Magazine produced a special edition summer paperback, entitled Cruel Summer.

Early issues featured Buns of Steel and Guns of Steel workouts for the highly image-conscious readership.
