This is an independent project—we are non-commercial, we receive no funding from anyone, and we show no ads. It costs money and time to keep the archive going—we rely on donations to stay online. Help us keep the “dream of the ’90s” alive and make this place a permanent exhibit of all things alternative—because 120 Minutes deserves a home where its history and legacy live on.
You don’t need to create any accounts or sign up for anything to donate—it only takes a few seconds. We will never email you. Thank you so much!
