Sometimes we feel that the songs that are constantly on the radio have no creative sparkle to them and these songs not only are they similar, but some even drive the 'ear-worm' syndrome ("a tune or part of a song that repeats in one's mind").

At one point, these new songs are not only so similar to each other but they are overplayed that I no longer listen to them whenever they come on the radio, or I will constantly switch between radio stations to find some other song to listen to. However, Postmodern Jukebox changes modern day songs by placing a vintage-retro twist onto them making them sound like a new song but post-modernized.

Here is a list of the 15 Postmodern Jukebox songs (there's more of course on their channel):

1) Closer-Retro '50s Prom Style Chainsmokers/Halsey Cover ft. Kenton Ch

2) Call Me Maybe- Postmodern Jukebox: Reboxed Cover ft. Von Smith

3) Mr. Brightside-1940s Rat Pack Style The Killers Cover ft. Blake Lewis


4) Cry Me a River- Vintage '50s R&B Justin Timberlake Cover ft. Von Smith


5) Grenade-Vinta ge '60s Style Bruno Mars Cover ft. Brielle


6) Poker Face- 1946 Big Band Style Lady Gaga Cover ft. Kelley Jakle


7) Focus- Ray Charles Style Ariana Grande Cover ft. LaVance Colley


8) Oops!... I Did It Again- Vintage Marilyn Monroe Style Britney Spears Cover ft. Haley Reinhart


9) Shake it Off- Vintage Motown Taylor Swift Cover ft. Von Smith


10) Rude- Vintage 1950s Sock Hop- Style MAGIC! Cover ft. Von Smith


11) Fancy- Vintage 1920s Flapper- Style Iggy Azalea Cover ft. Ashley Stroud


12) Timber- Vintage 1950s Doo Wop Pitbull/Ke$ha Cover


13) Rather Be- Vintage Western/"Westworld" Saloon- Style Clean Bandit Cover ft. Ada Pasternak


14) Bad Romance- Postmodern Jukebox: Reboxed ft. Sara Niemietz & The Sole Sisters


15) Umbrella- Vintage "Singin' in the Rain" Style Rihanna Cover ft. Casey Abrams & The Sole Sisters

Postmodern Jukebox makes other modern songs with a post-modern twist on it. Sometimes there are great songs out there that just need a different spin on it so it doesn't fall into the category of songs that sound the same as the rest of other songs.

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.

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.
