17 Songs That Could Be Featured on a Modern Twilight Soundtrack

“How long have you been 17?” As it turns out, Twilight—the film that defined a generation of teenage longing—has officially turned 17 itself. Released in 2008, Catherine Hardwicke’s adaptation of Stephenie Meyer’s brooding vampire romance captured a cultural moment of forbidden love, both on screen and through a soundtrack that further immersed the film in an alternative climate. But if Twilight were released today, what would it sound like? 17 years after the film’s original release, we’re reimagining an already iconic soundtrack to echo the emotional weight that spoke to a Team Edward or Team Jacob generation.

12 New-Age Protest Songs To Listen To This 4th of July

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 »
