Les Inrockuptibles

Les Inrockuptibles (stylized as les inRocKuptibles; French pronunciation: ​[lezɛ̃ʁɔkyptibl]) is a French cultural magazine. Started as a monthly magazine in 1986, it became weekly in 1995. In the beginning, rock music was the magazine's primary focus, though every issue included articles on other topics, generally with a left-wing approach.
