6 Throwbacks Making a Comeback This Summer
Fandango

Crazy things are happening this year, for instance Leonardo DiCaprio finally won an Oscar, and Kevin is the only Jonas Brother not currently producing music. This seems to be the summer of comebacks, and I don't mean the ones that you wish you had thought of while you were arguing with your frenemy. No, I mean the things that will make you stop and think, "what's my age again?" I know that we have all heard the saying that "history repeats itself" and that the things that were popular ages ago come back in a cycle- well how about all at once.

1. Blink-182

While it sounds similar to what they have released in the past, Blink-182 released their new single "Bored to Death" about a month ago after an 11 year hiatus- the band self-produced their first EP in 1993.

2. Finding Nemo

Although a sequel hardly counts as a comeback, it did take thirteen years for the original viewers of Finding Nemo to finally get Finding Dory. I have not yet seen it, though I heard it went swimmingly.

3. Pokémon

I am sure that by now, everyone is well aware that Pokémon is back in the spotlight with its new mobile app, Pokémon Go.

4. Ghostbusters

The original Ghostbusters movie made its debut in 1984, and with this remake, we can see that many things have changed since we left the 80s.

5. My Chemical Romance

I think this is my favorite comeback on the list, it warms my heart to see that My Chemical Romance is on the radar again. Short background story, I wore my only My Chemical Romance t-shirt to my friend's birthday party on THE day that they announced that they were breaking up- we almost cried together when we heard the news. Although they have not announced what is to come on September 23rd, their fandom has arisen, armed and ready with their thick eyeliner.

6. Candy

Even candy brands are going old school, bringing back the original, now "retro," packaging. Mars is celebrating the 75th anniversary of M&Ms, and Nestle's brand Wonka has done a "throwback" look for its boxed candies.

Since there is still a little over a month until school starts again, hopefully there are more comebacks in store for this summer. With all the things that seem to be making a comeback this summer, perhaps the Bernie supporters are in luck.

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.
