It’s easy to mistake the foundations of pop punk as being laid in the 2000s. After all, that’s when the mainstream radio takeover of the genre occurred. As it turns out, though, we really have the ’90s to thank for our favorite artists and albums.  With the meteoric rise of bands such as Nirvana and […]

Many of you are no doubt listening to the new Gwen Stefani single and thinking back to when you first heard Tragic Kingdom. Where you were, what you were doing, how long the show Beverly Hills, 90210 could possibly last. Hate to break it to you, ’90s kids, but there are a ton of teenagers […]

If we could identify one incandescent moment to come out of the coronavirus pandemic, it would have to be having large stretches of time to listen to albums. Yes, in 2020, most of us binged on Netflix and chilled the best we could. But streaming services made access to music downright infinite. We could finally […]

2020 will be remembered in a lot of ways, many of them pretty horrible. However, if there’s one bright light in this dark year, it’s been the women in rock.  Over the years, women have taken over the genre through their experimentation and record-breaking albums that honor rock and alternative. But they do so in […]

On Nov. 24, the Recording Academy finally unveiled the nominations for the 2021 Grammy Awards. Although Hayley Williams‘ debut solo album Petals For Armor and Halsey‘s Manic were not nominated, the artists are acknowledging the Grammys for an entirely different reason.

With the amount of different styles of music, trying to stay within a set genre is becoming more difficult and almost unnecessary. That shows when artists such as genre-mixer K.Flay and producer Whethan team up to create songs featuring heart-hitting lyrics and synth-filled rhythms like their latest track, “Hurting On Purpose.” The two exclusively opened […]

blink-182‘s Travis Barker doesn’t seem to be slowing down when it comes to new projects. Just last night he appeared on The Late Late Show with James Cordon to perform with Machine Gun Kelly on his new single “Bloody Valentine.” Now, Barker is giving Demi Lovato‘s single “I Love Me” an emo remix. Released this […]

The draw of belting out scene anthems is contagious, even to some of the biggest names in pop music. Sometimes, a song is just so good, you can’t contain yourself and have to sing in public, and these artists are just like us in this regard.  We’ve rounded up 10 pop artists who have shamelessly sung […]

By now, we all either know, or need to accept, that Post Malone can do anything. Even though he’s one of the most popular rappers right now, he dabbles with everything, from collaborating with artists such as Ozzy Osbourne to working on projects with brands such as Crocs and Bud Light.  He’s larger than life, but […]

When the new millennium broke, the alternative music community was heavily saturated with popular genres such as punk, pop punk and emo.

It was virtually impossible to go a day without hearing Simple Plan’s latest […]

Seven years ago, Paramore unleashed their self-titled record on the world. The followup to 2009’s Brand New Eyes was kickstarted with the attention-grabbing “Now” and the impossibly infectious “Still Into You.” Following the album’s debut, the band kept it rolling with “Daydreaming” and the (literally) record-breaking “Ain’t It Fun.” Celebrate the anniversary of the album […]

Here at AltPress, we’ve learned a crucial lesson. Mainstream America doesn’t understand that the concept of “emo” is over 30 years old. We know it wasn’t invented in a Hot Topic store. But we also know that the Grammys don’t have a category for “Best Emo Performance By A Duo Or Group With A Minimum […]
