We’re also aware that the holidays are right around the corner, and for us, that means stocking up on all the latest merch. This year boasted plenty of stellar releases from Denzel Curry, MUNA, Maggie Lindemann and the 1975, among others. Beyond music, though, the brands that we champion and how we present ourselves to the world help us stand out from the rest. After all, alternative doesn’t just define music anymore. It permeates the worlds of fashion, beauty and culture as well.
If you’re short on gift ideas this season, don’t worry — we’ve got you covered. From comfy kicks and bold jewelry to page-turner books and the coolest variants for your vinyl-loving dad, we put together the ultimate shopping guide that’ll have your loved ones beaming.
Plus, don’t miss holiday shopping picks from Meet Me @ The Altar, chloe moriondo, Royal & the Serpent, Brand of Sacrifice and others.
