Halloween is the time to put on your favorite spooky tracks or just play all the songs you love year-round for your normie friends.

The “Prince of… Read more »

So, the internet has been obsessed with reliving 2016, and we get it. First off, frozen yogurt shops were the hottest place to be on a Friday night, and chokers ripped skinny jeans were pure fashion. And we definitely can’t forget about the iconic alternative songs that defined the year. (Special shoutout to Death Of A Bachelor by Panic! At The Disco.) However, we think that this energy needs to be directed at 2006, too! Not only was The Office taking over television screens, but aviator sunnies and trucker hats were closet staples. What a time to be alive. If… Read more »
As 2006 hurtles toward its 20-year mark, the albums that once lived on burned CDs, Myspace profiles, and Warped Tour stages now stand as cornerstone releases of a generation. From scene-defining emo to genre-shifting pop-punk, post-hardcore, and alternative breakthroughs, these records didn’t just soundtrack our youth—they shaped the entire direction of alternative music. Here are 26 albums turning 20 in 2026 that still echo louder than ever. Yellowcard — Lights And Sounds Released on January 24, 2006, Yellowcard‘s first concept album, Lights And Sounds, was released.

Skincare and makeup brand e.l.f. just just messed up…big time. The brand, known for ther cost-effective drugstore offerings just launched an ad featuring RuPaul’s Drag Race legend Heidi N Closet and stand-up comedian and the Annabelle doll’s new owner, Matt Rife. Now, fans are dropping their products based on the stunning choice to include the controversial crowd-work comic in an ad targeted at a primarily women/femme audience. Notably, in his 2023 Netflix special Natural Selection, Rife made a “joke” at the expense of a hostess with a black eye. “If she could cook, she wouldn’t have that black eye,” he… Read more »
Uh oh… My Chemical Romance has entered the “online discourse,” and long-time fans are clashing with “casual” fans. My Chemical Romance has just kicked off their Long Live The Black Parade tour, and some ticket holders took to social media to describe their surprise and perhaps upset with the band for their political themes. At the Seattle date, Gerard Way held an “election” with the crowd who “voted” for hooded “candidates” in the center of the stadium. In classic MCR theatrical fashion, these hooded figures were “executed” and taken out in body bags. “Thank you so very much for participating… Read more »
After teasing their collab, Pollyanna and NOAHFINNCE have officially joined forces to reveal their queer anthem, “Boygirl,” which takes aim at the contstraints of a cisgender-heterosexual world. The upbeat rock track unapologetically celebrates life outside of the binary—a vital message for all listeners to understand. Pollyanna shared on Instagram, “Yes, it’s after Pride Month IDC we need to continue being loud about who we are, especially after Pride Month more than ever!!!!!!!” They add, “This song has been such a journey, I’m beyond proud of this one, this is a very special song and means so much to me and… Read more »
For Americans across the nation, this July 4th might not feel like one worth celebrating. In Trump’s first six months in office, he’s sent the military on U.S. citizens in Los Angeles. ICE arrests have broken innocent families apart, and in most cases, those being deported have no criminal record (or are actual American citizens). Countless pieces of legislation were introduced or passed that take direct aim at the LGBTQ+ community. Federal workers were laid off en masse, the genocide in Palestine rages on, and this is merely scratching the surface. Refer back, even further, to 2023 when SCOTUS overturned… Read more »
