Profane Existence
The Profane Existence Collective (referred to occasionally as 'P.E.') is a Minneapolis-based anarcho-punk collective. Established in 1989, the collective publishes a nationally-known zine (also called Profane Existence), as well as releasing and distributing anarcho-punk, crust, and grindcore music, and printing and publishing pamphlets and literature. Stacy Thompson describes the collective as “the largest, longest-lasting, and most influential collective in Anarcho-Punk so far.” The collective folded in 1998, although its distribution arm, then called Blackened Distribution, continued operating. It restarted in 2000. "Making punk a threat again" is the group's slogan.

Famous quotes containing the words profane and/or existence:
“For my part, I would rather look toward Rutland than Jerusalem. Rutland,—modern town,—land of ruts,—trivial and worn,—not too sacred,—with no holy sepulchre, but profane green fields and dusty roads, and opportunity to live as holy a life as you can, where the sacredness, if there is any, is all in yourself and not in the place.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“However incoherent a human existence may be, human unity is not bothered by it.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
