The 15 Biggest Pop Culture Moments Of 2015

2015 was an eventful year. So many things happened in pop culture from music to movies and social media trends. Here's just a few:

1. "50 Shades of Grey" came out the day before Valentine's Day.

And a bunch of girls went to go see it.


2. Zayn Malik left One Direction.

And broke the hearts of many Directioners.


3. Bruce Jenner becomes Caitlyn Jenner.

4. Travis $cott got arrested for starting a riot at Lollapalooza.

5. Adele made a comeback with "Hello."

And won the hearts of everyone.

6. Justin Bieber released "What Do You Mean?", "Sorry" and his new album. Everyone became a Belieber again.

7. He also went blonde.

Still didn't keep anyone from becoming a Belieber again, though.

8. Lollapalooza decided to add an extra day onto their 2016 Lineup.

Probably the best decision ever, but now we have to wait for the lineup...

9. Frank Ocean still didn't drop his new album.

Not that "Channel Orange" isn't great and all, but c'mon Frank, we've been waiting.

10. Drake's "Hotline Bling" video came out.

The dance is much harder to imitate than it looks.

11. Donald Trump decided to run for president.

Still not sure if this was such a good idea, Donald. #you'refired.

12. Kendall Jenner got to walk in the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.

AKA, every girls dream.

13. We can't about #thedress social media phenomenon.

You know, the one that stressed everyone out?

14. Essena O'Neill revealed the secrets of what it's like to be an Instagram model.

She reinforced that you only see what people want you to see on social media.


15. "The Hunger Games" trilogy (except movies) finally ended.

Looks like we'll have to find a new series to watch now..

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.

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.
