We can all agree that Hayley Williams and Robert Pattinson were among the strongest talents showcased by Twilight. Seriously, movie aside, just look to the soundtrack for definitive proof of that fact. Did that make them fitting candidates to interview each other, though? Fortunately for the world, MySpace answered that with a definitive yes. The Paramore vocalist and Twilight protagonist sat opposite each other for […]

Emo (noun): a hotly contested music genre where bands and fans alike refuse to agree on who qualifies for a place in the rankings for all eternity, where no band admits to falling into the criteria of emo, and no fans admit to listening to it either. Of course, the one precursor to belonging to […]

If there’s one thing we miss about Myspace, it’s extensively coding our profiles and soundtracking them with our favorite songs. If you had a 2000s scene phase, then you probably remember how vital MP3 embeds were to alternative culture. After all, they were ultimately a projection of our misunderstood identities. But do you remember which […]

All hail the genre-benders! Seriously, it’s one thing to be successful in a single genre, but to change things up and continue to excel? That’s the mark of a legend. Admittedly, most artists go through some form of sonic progression over the course of their careers. But how many can you name that distinctly embody […]

Well, it looks like we won’t be seeing any more tweets from Donald Trump. After locking his account earlier this week, Twitter has permanently suspended Trump from the platform.

Deathcore was a defining force of the 2000s metal scene. While polarizing at the time, it’s gained more respect in recent years through a new era of the genre. Still, the origins of the genre were filled with great releases that stand strong over a decade later.  While bands used to fight against metal elitists […]

2011, like the years that preceded it, gave us a number of great alternative albums. But can you believe that 2021 is going to bring their 10-year anniversaries? Just like the 2000s came to pass in the blink of an eye, so did the last decade. And so we’re left soaking in nostalgia and wondering where the […]

The start of the Rawring ’20s—a decade that we anticipated would be a glittering revival of the golden age of emo, complete with painfully skinny jeans and hanging out at the mall as part of a cultural tradition—hasn’t gone completely to plan. It’s hard to believe we had high hopes for this year back when […]

This year, blessing show-deprived fans with longer releases was a much-needed effort. And metalcore bands made far-reaching full-length debuts. They opened a new era by bringing it back to hardcore punk, putting a fresh spin on the golden years or shaking it up with contemporary influences. Here are 20 metalcore debuts from 2020 that are […]

From low-rise jeans to flashy Myspace themes, the 2000s was an era defined by flamboyancy. While the majority of those embarrassing trends naturally faded with time, one product of the ’00s has overstayed its welcome. The infamous brand Kidz Bop has been churning out family-friendly compilation albums since 2001 sung by kids, for kids.  But […]

Fifteen years ago, Job For A Cowboy marked their arrival on the extreme-metal scene not with a bang but with a squeal. The Doom EP was a breakdown-laden statement, and extreme music would never be the same—for better or worse.  And you better believe that everyone had their opinion on that, something that was easily […]

2020 has been a whirlwind of a year, full of things we couldn’t anticipate in our wildest dreams. One of those was the triumphant return of 3OH!3.  The duo from Boulder, Colorado, made up of Nathaniel Motte and Sean Foreman, have been a staple in the scene since they started making music in the early […]

You don’t have to look far to see U.K. bands making waves in the pop-punk scene. Groups such as Boston Manor, Trash Boat and As It Is have all made significant contributions to the latest revival era. But what’s going on in the underground? Quite a lot, as it turns out. And the beauty of […]

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 […]

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 […]
