10 Reasons Why You Should be Listening to The 1975
CBS

1. Matty Healy (the frontman, for those who don't know) is perfect

His style is perfect. Sense of humor is perfect. Everything about Matty is perfect.

2. Matty's hair

And he knows it too. If you need convincing, see reason #1.


3. The band has been best friends since their teens

Matty Healy, George Daniel, Adam Hann and Ross MacDonald met when they were young lads in secondary school and have been best friends ever since. As they like to say, "we've been a band for 10 years." What a glow up!!!

4. They write and produce on their own

Matty, George, Adam and Ross all write and produce the band's music. Most of the lyrics stem from their personal experiences. Mainly Matty's life.


5. They love to be dramatic

..and do it quite well in their videos. See it here and here.


6. Matty's Dancing

I encourage you to look into this further, it's worth it. Trust me.

7. Their confidence and artistic direction

Their confidence with this latest album and everything that has followed has been amazing to watch and feel a part of. They care so much about what the fan-base as a whole think.


8. They are not afraid to be themselves

And more importantly, make fun of themselves.

9. They are not scared of challenging gender norms

The "Love Me" video besides criticizing today's celebs, was full of makeup, licking, hot tubs, dancing and more dancing. And it was beautiful. For years, Matty has also worn women's clothing on and off stage.


10. The band is not afraid to speak their minds

Whether it is expressing their opinion in a song, tweeting at the Prime Minster, or rallying the crowd at Glastonbury about 'Brexit', count on it to be done.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
