Why Is Brockhampton Important to Teenagers?
Brockhampton is the the hip-hop boy band taking the music industry by storm. With most of the members originating from a quiet and conservative suburb in Texas, every fan can relate to at least one of the members. Their loud and rowdy music hyping fans up all around the world and the influence they have is huge—with over 3,000,000 monthly listeners on Spotify. But what makes them stand out and appeal to their fans?

Will Musical Biopics Become the New Superhero Movies?
In late 2018, the Queen biopic Bohemian Rhapsody hit theaters. The snowballing excitement made it clear that the film would do well, but the exact impact the film would have was harder to anticipate. In its theatrical run, Bohemian Rhapsody made its budget several times over, excelled in Asian theatres, introduced Queen’s music library to a new generation, and collected several film and academy awards.

The Way BTS Made Me a Fangirl Again
So, let me just start by saying that I've been a fangirl of many bands ranging from Van Halen to All Time Low. But as I got older, my respect for them never went away, but the necessity to buy merchandise sort of died down. I appreciated them from afar. And then come 2017 and this infamous K-Pop group from South Korea and my fangirl flames burst. This was not a characteristic of mine that I determined to get rid of, as being a fan of anyone is a part of me and will never change. But I'm a young adult and I should be trying to figure out my life, buying cars, financing for a home, not wanting to buy magazines with idols' faces on it or buying their songs online. But here I am, to tell you a story to teach you that it is alright to love things to the very end and you shouldn't be embarrassed by who you are and who you love.

The King of Pop
Sometimes it’s necessary to find ways of relaxing when feeling the ordinary stresses that life brings upon us. Although a new year has only just begun, there are those moments when I must turn to the only thing that helps me to relax, almost instantly… music. Those moments occur most often when there’s no visible progress of something that I’ve been attempting to do for a while. Instead of crying and pulling my hair out, I turn to music. Something about the sound and beat of music that just resonate through me, relaxing my nerves and allowing me to release unwanted tension and stress.
