5 Alternative Artists/Bands You Need To Listen To
WTOP

My all time favorite genre of music is alternative. Whether it is grunge or indie pop or anything in between, it's basically all I listen to. So, when I find new bands or artists that I love, it's so exciting to me. Because alternative is such a diverse genre, I'm always finding new music that I love. If you are like me in this way, here are 7 of my favorite alternative bands and artists I am listening to right now.

1. Billie Eilish

My favorite song: idontwannabeyouanymore

Lyrics:

If teardrops could be bottled

There'd be swimming pools filled by models

Told a tight dress is what makes you a whore

Billie Eilish is an alternative singer from Los Angeles, California who has just recently put out a new album titled "don't smile at me," which I have been playing on repeat since it has came out. Her mature vocals and lyrics make it surprising that she is only 15!

2. The Night Cafe

My favorite song: Mixed Signals

Lyrics:

And now you're not mine, mine

I didn't think that I didn't need you

I just got fucked and you made the decisions

I stumbled across this band on Tumblr one day and have been obsessed ever since! Most of their music has a nice indie pop/indie rock vibe that always makes me want to drive with the windows down. They are definitely a new favorite of mine.

3. Hippo Campus

My favorite song: baseball

Lyrics:

There goes that moonboy
Looking jungly
With all his leaves a-growing

This indie rock band from St. Paul, Minnesota have plenty of songs that'll make you want to get up and dance around your bedroom like they do in the movies.

4. The Hunna

My favorite song: You & Me

Lyrics:

You & me

Smoking by the hunna tree

You & me

We were meant to be

Right now, The Hunna is all I can listen to. Their music makes me miss summer and being with my friends.

5. Early Eyes

My favorite song: Take You

Lyrics:

There’s a lot to recover from that night out

When you leaned in and whispered, “yeah I’m trying to take you down.”

Early Eyes is an indie band from Minnesota that I also discovered on Tumblr. I really recommend going on YouTube and looking at some of their live music.

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.
