20 Songs Guaranteed To Bring Out Your Inner Emo Kid
Ryan Marincic

In part of middle school and most of high school, I was a closeted emo kid. I loved listening to songs filled with teen angst and a heavy guitar line that also happen to put me in a great mood. The friends that I had in school were more so obsessed with mainstream music such as One Direction and Drake so they always thought I was just a bit odd for liking such a different sound than they were used to.

For those of you who are unfamiliar with the term "emo", allow me to enlighten you. Wikipedia defines emo as, "A rock music genre characterized by an emphasis on emotional expression, sometimes through confessional lyrics." The term is also used to describe a subculture that was made by the fans of the bands that played this genre. There is a certain style of clothing, hairstyle, and slang terms that started to trend within the community.

With news about the last ever Vans Warped Tour, a traveling music festival revolving around this genre, and conversation had with some friends, I decided to take it upon myself to craft the best emo kid playlist. I hope that this triggers some nostalgic memories and puts a smile on your face. Enjoy!

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.

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.

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.
