Les Inrockuptibles (French: [lez‿ɛ̃ʁɔkyptibl]), abbreviated as Les Inrocks, is a French cultural magazine. Started as a monthly in 1986, it became weekly in 1995. As of 2021, it has gone back to a monthly format. In the beginning, rock music was the magazine's primary focus, though every issue included articles on other topics, generally with a left-wing perspective. Its name is a blend of the words "rock" and "incorruptibles" and a spoonerism of the latter.[1]
