While it was cool to see a magazine promoting alternative fashion/music/beauty, IMO it went too far - in much the way that the feminist movement did. It went from "here's a choice if you don't feel like you can ever be that perfect girl in Seventeen" to "if you for one second ever liked anything in Seventeen you must be some kind of loser and are in no way cool enough to hang out with us." In other words, it became just as cliquish as the cliques it was originally created to shun.
Not to mention the editor turned into a total fame whore.

I was in the 7th grade when that mag came out. My sister ordered it in a school magazine drive. She got one issue, and my dad was so offended that he promptly canceled her subscription.
