Odyssey

Let's face it. Everyone has been there and done that when it comes to the emo lifestyle. Once upon a time, you had the jelly bracelets, studded belts, and black Chucks. Here are 12 songs every former emo kid knows by heart!

1. "Makedamnsure" by Taking Back Sunday

The perfect breakup emo song. And let's face it - the fact there are no spaces between the title words, made it so edgy.


2. "Perfect" by Simple Plan

Your go-to song anytime you had a fight with your parents.

3. "Misery Business" by Paramore

The ultimate revenge song for any breakup. Not to mention you secretly wanted Haley Williams' hair.

4. "Scars" by Papa Roach

The song you listen to when you just cared too much and everyone let you down.

5. "Ohio Is For Lovers" by Hawthorne Heights

The song you listened to when you wanted to hear just a touch of screamo.


6. "Helena" by My Chemical Romance

Because you were simply in love with Gerard Way and his guyliner. Plus the dancing in the music video was just amazing.

7. "Sugar We're Going Down" by Fall Out Boy


FOB really helped you fall into the Emo phase. All the eyeliner and trucker hats were what drew you in.

8. "Miss Murder" by AFI

Two words. Lip ring.

9. "Miserable at Best" by Mayday Parade

Because this song spoke the truth about moving on and letting go. It's simply hard.

10. "I Write Sins Not Tragedies" by Panic! At The Disco

Because the circus theme drew you in. And his voice finished the job.

11. "The Anthem" by Good charlotte

The song that told you to raise a middle finger and rebel against everything and everyone.

12. "All That I've Got" by The Used

Because we can all relate to the days we just wanted to sleep off our bad days alone.


Want to turn back time? Here's the playlist that will make your Emo heart whole again.

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.

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.
