Vixx Who? Why The Concept Kings Deserve More Recognition
@RealVIXX on Twitter

VIXX (Voice, Visual, Value in Excelsis) is a South Korean idol group consisting of 6 members, active as a full group since May of 2012 under Jellyfish Entertainment after competing on an idol survival show called MyDOL which narrowed 10 trainees to 6 who would debut into the group, VIXX.

The group debut with their song Superhero . The song includes awkward English, cringy hairstyles and lots of baby face. But, the song will always be one that sits a sense of pride in the fans (Starlights) hearts. From there the boys started having comebacks with new and unique concepts including Video game, (Rock Ur Body) Vampire, (On and On) and my favorite Voodoo--this is the Clean version. You can watch the Unclean version here--but get ready for some gore!

Over the years the boys have done solo activities such as musicals, Solo songs, TV shows and even Sub-units! (Vixx LR consisting of members Leo and Ravi with the amazing song Beautiful Liar) Unfortunately, Vixx hasn't been getting the recognition that they deserve! They are definitely a force to be reckoned with seeing as they can go from a cute concept to a sexy one with a drop of a hat and no one would bat an eye because that is the name the boys have built for themselves. The members help write and compose the songs which, at one point, was rare in the K-pop world. Their dancing ability is also amazing as seen in their dance practice videos. The members also have their own quirks about them that make them one of the funniest groups I've ever seen.

The fandom, Starlights, is also one of the nicest and innocent fandoms out there. When they walk through airports or out of shows they aren't trampled by their fans as are many other groups, ARMYS and Exo-L's. They respect VIXX and VIXX respects Starlights. Yes, there are always those few fans who are over the top, sasang (Stalker fan) and rude but for the most part, Starlights are very tame.

Vixx deserves more recognition for all the work they do for Starlights and the K-pop industry because I would love to be able to see them on a world tour and be able to see them in concert just as I have for BTS, EXO, B.A.P and more!

Show VIXX some love!

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.
