13 Songs You Need On Your Throwback Jams Playlist
The Huffington Post

For some reason, we all crave that feeling of nostalgia. Just seeing or hearing something that will take you back to childhood. Maybe there is some deep psychological explanation to it, but nostalgia is such a great feeling. Plus, let's face it: Early 2000's music was way better than what is on the radio right now. I scoured through my entire music library, pulled out all of my old Now CDs (I cannot believe I have Now 8!) and was able to narrow down all of that music to 13 of my favorites. Tears were shed, memories were reminisced, but here are 13 songs from the early 2000's that will take you back to the good ole days.

1. Avril Lavigne - "Complicated"

Back when we were all like 6 years old, we all dreamed about being as punk and cool as Avril.

2. Breaking Benjamin - "Diary of Jane"


3. Michelle Branch - "Everywhere"


4. Yellowcard - "Ocean Avenue"


We all used to hope and pray that our teenage years would be like this.

5. OutKast - "Hey Ya!"


"Alright alright alright alright alright alright alright..."

6. Beyonce ft. Jay-Z - "Crazy in Love"


The song that brought them together.

7. JoJo - Leave (Get Out)


8. Ciara - "One, Two Step"


9. Britney Spears - "Toxic"


10. Ryan Cabrera - "On the Way Down"


By the way, he is still making music! I saw him live back in 2015.

11. Destiny's Child - "Say My Name"


12. Gwen Stefani - "Hollaback Girl"


Admit it, you still sing this in your head when you spell "bananas."

13. Vanessa Carlton - "A Thousand Miles"


This one is not necessarily a throwback because of White Chicks and memes, but it still throws me back.

***Bonus Track***

Jonas Brothers - "When You Look Me in The Eyes"


Just because this song hits all of my 10 year old feels, and we all used to pretend that one of the brothers was serenading us with this song.

AI music threatens creativity

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

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.
