10 Throwbacks You NEED To Add To Your Playlist

Justin Bieber still had a bowl cut, people still wore matching Juicy Couture sweatsuits, and the biggest decision I was faced with was choosing my top 8 friends on MySpace. The 2000's were a strange time for all of us, but the music reminds us that it wasn't THAT bad.

No matter if you are at a party, in the shower, or doing homework, here are 10 throwbacks from the 2000's you MUST add to your weekend playlist. (WARNING: High levels of nostalgia may come from reading this!)

10. "Fergalicious" by Fergie (2006)

Admit it, we all wanted to be fergalicious when this song came on. Nobody ever questioned why she spelled tasty "T to the A to the S T E Y." Fergie might want to get out of the gym and stop working on her fitness and start working on her spelling.

9. "Lose Control" by Missy Elliot (2005)

The GIF says it all.

8. "Temperature" by Sean Paul (2005)

Nobody could really understand this song, but it got you so hyped for the simplest things. (PS: it still gets me hyped.)

7. "Beautiful Soul" by Jesse McCartney (2004)

No girl was safe from the swooning heartthrob that was 2000's Jesse McCartney.

6. "Stacy's Mom" by Fountain of Wayne (2003)

No picture could have done this song as much justice as it deserves. No matter who you were, in 2003 you were ALL in love with Stacy's mom.

5. "Get Low" by Lil John (2003)

No words are needed to describe the party that accompanied this song. Que the flashbacks to middle school dances.

4. "Hot in Herre" by Nelly (2002)

Did anyone figure out what the little white band-aid was for? Well I can assure you everyone was metaphorically wearing one when this song came on.

3. "Party in the USA" by Miley Cyrus (2009)

Currently (still) being played at house parties everywhere.

2. "Bye Bye Bye" by 'N Sync (2000)

No words needed.

AND FINALLY....

1. "Ignition (Remix)" by R. Kelly (2003)

The quintessential throwback. If this isn't already in your playlist, it should be.

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.
