11 Songs That Sound Like Childhood

huffingtonpost.com

"When music was still good." For us millennials, we find ourselves saying this almost every time we hear a throwback of a song we listened to as a child. These were the songs we all knew and loved, the songs we had on our first generation iPod Nano's, the songs we probably didn't understand the actual meaning of at the time, and the fsongs that now define our childhood. No matter how old these songs become, there is no expiration date on good music and the way they will always bring out our inner childhood.

1. "Heartless" by Kanye West

The good old days before Kanye went too Kanye.

2. "Party in the USA" by Miley Cyrus

Little did we know, this was only the beginning of Hannah Montana's party animal days.

3. "I Love College" by Asher Roth

At this point of our lives, college was far too distant in the future to really be thinking of. However this song made us excited for it, and we sang it passionately as if it applied to us.

4. "Girlfriend" by Avril Lavigne

We all had that someone we applied this song to because they were flirting a bit too much with our crush at recess.

5. "Umbrella" by Rihanna

Even now as adults, one simply cannot choose to not sing this song when sharing an umbrella with someone.

6. "Laffy Taffy" by D4L

Probably a bit inappropriate to be listening to at the time, but hey, for all we knew it was just an innocent song about candy!

7. "Fergilicious" by Fergie

Shoutout to Fergie for hooking us up on spelling tests.

8. "Kiss Me Thru the Phone" by Soulja Boy

Admit it- you called "678-999-8212" at least once to see if it was Soulja Boy's real number.

9. "Tim McGraw" by Taylor Swift

This was the first time we all heard of what is now a household name- Taylor Swift- and we couldn't help but wonder if this song was actually about her love affair with Tim McGraw.

10. "Thnks Fr Th Mmrs" by Fall Out Boy

The go-to song to sing at the top of your lungs during long bus rides.

11. "When I'm Gone" by Eminem

It's just one of those songs everyone knew and was excited when they finally could rap even the fastest parts.

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

337261

Humans and robots face off in a rock band battle with guitars and drums, under dynamic lighting.

StableDiffusion

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.

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.

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.
