According to the founder, Pip the Angry Youth:
"i figured a good way to kill time was to start writing a magazine (i had this dream ever since i read subbacultcha on that fateful day). so i started up a magazine called the hidden obvious, and it lasted for about 7 months, released 35 issues, and became incredibly popular in my bbsing area. so i killed it in july of '94 because i was a complete moron."
Pip also makes an appearance in MILK, Tea, and GASP. Quite a prolific, angry youth.
There is absolutely nothing special about The Hidden Obvious.
