Underground Couture

Light Up is an underground lifestyle publication born in New York City the epicenter of rebellion, rhythm, and raw creative energy.

We cover underground culture, real ones only. Cannabis, Rave, Graffiti, Art shows, Streetwear, Smoke sessions, & everything in between. We're not chasing mainstream trends we're documenting the lifestyle before it goes viral.

From Brooklyn rooftops to warehouse raves, Light Up is for the heads who live it, not just post about it.

If it’s raw, loud, creative, or illegal in some states we’re on it.

We spotlight the realest corners of culture from the hazy highs of cannabis to the basslines of underground sound, from graffiti covered walls to late night art shows and smoke filled sessions.

Light Up Your Life!
