2020 has really made many of us miss the good old days where we could blast “Party In Your Bedroom” by Cash Cash on our iPod Nano while taking a new cringey Myspace or Facebook profile picture with neon shutter shades and silicone bracelets. The late 2000s and early 2010s were the height of breezy pop […]

Hayley Williams has truly had some iconic hair and styles over the years. Now, the Paramore vocalist is revisiting some of these classic eras, but not in the way you might think.

Many scene favorites have gone through the Saturday Night Live gauntlet, including Fall Out Boy, My Chemical Romance and twenty one pilots. This season, Jack White took over for one of the musical guests when country artist Morgan Wallen didn’t follow the show’s COVID-19 restrictions and was prohibited from performing in the studio. Some artists […]

In 2009, Myspace was beginning to disintegrate, and scene bands were growing less and less popular. Despite their distinct capabilities of genre-blending emo, pop punk, metalcore, neon pop, electronica and more, the scene started to die and was aching for a rebirth. As the year progressed, new bands emerged, and seasoned musicians cultivated their craft […]

On Monday, Hayley Williams took part in a powerful tribute to Ruth Bader Ginsburg. The tribute included appearances from Hillary Rodham Clinton, Kesha and Senator Elizabeth Warren among others. For her stripped-down performance, Williams performed “Roses/Lotus/Violet/Iris,” off her debut album Petals For Armor. Eagle-eyed fans, however, quickly noticed that Williams hid subtle nod to Paramore […]

Last month, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg passed away at the age of 87. As many still mourn the loss of this powerful figure, Hayley Williams has plans to honor RBG in a big way. The Paramore vocalist announced earlier this week that she is practicing for an RBG tribute. Read more: Members of […]

R-Battz is finally here. We’ve waited a long time to visualize Robert Pattinson’s interpretation of the Dark Knight, and the first official trailer for next year’s The Batman gave us more emo vibes than we could handle. This is the first incarnation of the caped crusader to show the black eyeliner every Batman wears beneath […]

Playlist culture has changed the way most individuals discover new music, so it’s no surprise that limitations based on genre are slowly fading away. For those who always used to stick their nose up at what was most popular on the radio, it may be a tough pill to swallow. But with new innovations and […]

It’s been over a decade since artists such as Paramore and Fall Out Boy first graced us with their pop-punk contributions. While many of our favorites are still going strong, those early days always hold a special place in our hearts. Anyone around during the mid-2000s (or invested enough to revisit it online) knows how […]

With the 2020 presidential election only a couple of months away, National Voter Registration Day is upon us, and the scene is reminding you to make sure you’re registered. Registration deadlines vary in each state, but it’s better to do it sooner rather than later to make sure you can put in your ballot Nov. […]

Throughout the 2000s, women started to dominate the alternative music scene with their powerful stage presence and otherworldly talent. Following in the footsteps of riot grrrls, they proudly represented the fact that women rock just as hard, if not harder, than men. Despite the “boys’ club” of emo, punk and pop-punk communities, the women on […]

It really took until 2020 for the internet to deliver a Paramore and Soulja Boy mashup. The result? Something truly startling. Jade Rich, who fronts Fox Teeth, a New Jersey-based shoegaze band, created the mashup. The brief recording features Paramore’s “All I Wanted” chorus transitioning seamlessly to Soulja Boy’s “Crank That (Soulja Boy).”  Read more: […]

Who among us hasn’t fantasized about living the rock star life? (Well, besides rappers.) Seriously though, who wouldn’t want a gig like that? The tears of the bright-eyed are the lubrication that keeps the rock ‘n’ roll machine pumping along. But what if a life of stardom could be gleaned from the stars themselves? In […]

When movie adaptations and remakes are released, they usually generate the same initial response. “Was it better than the book?” “Is it as good as the comic?” We’re guilty of that, too. But really, we’re the ones asking if the soundtrack was any good. It’s that mindset  that inspired this countdown of soundtracks that might […]
