WET was an avant-garde Los Angeles-based magazine that revolved around the idea of "gourmet bathing" and later evolved to "gourmet bathing and beyond." Its publisher and creator was Leonard Koren, an architecture school graduate. The magazine covered cultural issues and was known for its innovative use of graphic art.^{[citation needed]}

Contributing photographers included Moshe Brakha, Brian Leatart, Claude Mougin, Matthew Rolston, Guy Webster, and Penny Wolin.

Over the years, Wet began to reflect a broader expanse of stories, capturing a kind of smart, artsy Los Angeles attitude that was emerging at the same time as punk, but had its own distinct aesthetic.^{[citation needed]}

Wet lasted 34 issues, spanning the years 1976 to 1981.
