On a cultural level, the magazine devoted significant coverage to [[hardcore punk|punk]], [[alternative country]], [[electronica]], [[reggae]] and [[world music]], [[experimental rock]], [[jazz]] of the most adventurous sort, burgeoning [[underground music]] scenes, and a variety of fringe styles. Artists such as the [[Ramones]], [[Patti Smith]], [[Blondie (band)|Blondie]], [[X (American band)|X]], [[Black Flag (band)|Black Flag]], and the former members of the [[Sex Pistols]], [[The Clash]], and the early [[punk rock|punk]] and [[New wave music|New Wave]] movements were heavily featured in ''Spin''{{'}}s editorial mix. ''Spin''{{'}}s extensive coverage of [[Hip hop music|hip-hop music]] and [[Hip hop|culture]], especially that of contributing editor [[John Leland (journalist)|John Leland]], was notable at the time.{{citation needed|date=July 2015}}
