The Epstein files. Live-streamed war. An absolute onslaught of generative AI slop. It feels like we are at an important juncture for the way that we see the world, and the decisions we make as to who and what to trust.

Presenting the spring 2026 edition of VICE magazine: The Not The Photo Issue, a bumper 184-page special that asks, which images are most fucking us up today, and why?

“In time, we will come to see the (partial) release of the Epstein files as the point at which reality started to collapse. This, combined with generative AI and live-streamed war, is profoundly altering our relationship with images, making it impossible to know what or who to trust. The Not The Photo Issue marks this moment, asking which pictures are still hitting hard, and why?”

There was a time when you simply would not see a skateboarder, an It girl, or a festival headliner wearing a football shirt. Now, replica kits have taken on a life of their own that goes far beyond the terraces. Just because you wear a team’s shirt doesn’t mean you’re a supporter. You might be a fan of the manufacturer, or even the brand that sponsored it.

This movement was driven by countries outside the traditional football-supporting hotbeds, including the United States. The role of the U.S. in the surging global popularity of football culture is apt, given this summer’s big tournament, which will be taking place in North America for the first time since 1994.
