9 Things That Are Irrelevantly Popular
Mackenzie Webb

Ever seen something, heard something, or even done something that you have no idea why it has any relevance to anyone? Well, I have. This article is dedicated to those random things that are incredibly popular throughout our society today for no reason at all. We all know some of the things I'm talking about, and I'm sure everyone is guilty of at least one of these things. You may be thinking well if they're irrelevant, then how did it get so popular in the first place? In all honesty, I could not answer that question for you except to say that trends spread quick.

1. Crocs

Okay okay, I know they're "so comfortable" and "versatile", but really? Crocs, I mean have you seen them?

2. Oversized T-shirts with Nike Shorts

I myself along with half of my college campus am guilty of this trend. It may not be cute, but boy is it comfy.

3. LipSense

I guess it's the new trend to sell on Facebook, but who wants lipstick that stays for days.

4. Gray Dad New Balance Shoes

No, these are not cute. Don't wear them you look like a dad.

5. Light Up Tennis Shoes

Okay you're cool your shoes light up. What are you going to do if you step in a puddle? Or the battery dies? Now you just have regular shoes.

6. (Oversized) True Grit Jackets

Yes, the overly fluffy jackets that everyone is raving over. And yes I do indeed have one of these and I absolutely love it, but it swallows me whole as it does most people.

7. McDonalds

Who eats here unless you're broke or drunk at 1 am?

8. Willingly Eating Gluten Free

I myself have to eat gluten free, and I absolutely hate it, therefore I don't know why anyone would eat GF by choice. But hey, props to you!

9. Heely's

Yes, they're convenient and make getting around quicker, but once again they're not cute and should not be worn anywhere outside your house.

I know many people may not agree with some of the things on this list, or maybe many of you will be guilty of some of them. And that's fine if you don't agree, because we all have different opinions. But maybe if you own something on this list you'll think twice about it, and really decide if it's relevant for a good reason, or for no reason at all.

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.

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.
