Are You Scared To Get Happy? was an influential music fanzine published from Bristol, United Kingdom between 1985 and 1987 by Matt Haynes and Mark Carnell. Matt later went on to found Sarah Records with Clare Wadd. It concentrated on what would now be termed twee pop bands, and was notable for its hardline approach to the independent ethic, as well as its expansive, lyrical writing style.Many subsequent fanzines were influenced by AYSTGH, and it was also a key influence on other record labels, e.g. Unpopular.
