From 2011 to 2014, there was one social media niche that defined the music taste for young people and became the go-to platform for tastemakers: Tumblr. It was the birthplace of the indie sleaze aesthetic, soft grunge teens in Dr. Martens, tights under denim shorts, oversized flannels, emo black and white photography, Jeffrey Campbell Litas, and American Apparel basics. Back then, we curated our blogs with the same precision required on today’s Instagram feeds. With this brooding, indie fashion look came an edgy side of music that was fully loaded with personality and grit. We relished in fan fiction and… Read more »

Well, we’re fucked. Following the devastating election results earlier this week that have poised former President Donald Trump to re-enter the White House to serve his second but non-consecutive term (something that hasn’t happened in 135 years since the 1880s with President Grover Cleveland), musicians have been vocalizing their unhappiness with the presumed results. Across a variety of genres, musicians have been speaking out against the Election Night results. Frank Iero of My Chemical Romance, L.S. Dunes, and various solo projects endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris ahead of Election Day; however, he has now called the results “shameful.” Waterparks frontman… Read more »
