YouTube's Alex Melton is back at it with another entertaining pop-punk cover. This time around, Melton is letting you all know what it would sound like if Machine Gun Kelly, YUNGBLUD and Travis Barker's "I Think I'm OKAY" was covered by your favorite pop-punk bands...

You know, like those people who testify that punk rock is always going to be better when a certain party is holding court in Washington, D.C. Or that the world's self-imposed isolationism is guaranteed to give us a treasure trove of great art...

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 Of Three Fascinating Haircuts...

Stranger Things recently grabbed a spot as one of Google's most searched queries, and now Spotify is showing their support for the Netflix series in their own way. In case you somehow missed it, the music streaming service dropped their biggest campaign Spotify Wrapped last week...

In David Bowie’s eternal song “Changes,” he sings, “There’s gonna have to be a different man/Time may change me/But I can’t trace time.” If there was at least four square inches of space left on his body, Frank Iero should consider having those words etched on him in Vantablack ink.
