From the moment Megan Thee Stallion crowned summer 2019 “Hot Girl Summer,” each subsequent summer has fought to earn its own moniker.

Popstars have been the backbone of the music industry for decades upon decades. There were OG divas like Whitney Houston and Britney Spears. There were Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga, Ariana Grande, and Rihanna. But it felt like we were in need of a fresh sound. Most of our original pop girls are onto ventures like

Each new song is claiming to be the song of the summer. This is not random TikTok singers doing their obligatory self-promo with the tried-and-true hook: “Did I just write the song of the summer?” But don’t blame them.

Taylor Swift has had her fair share of onstage mishaps, from costume malfunctions to technical issues, but this latest hiccup is perhaps the most unfortunate one yet.

“Fred’s fans are the best in the world,” said Leif Vollebeck, the opener for Fred Again..’s 3-show run at Stanford’s Frost Amphitheater. “They love music so much.” Undoubtedly, that was the energy at Frost.

Ashton Irwin bursts into our scheduled Zoom meeting like a ray of light.

Ever since Juneteenth became a national holiday, corporations have been trying to do to it what they’ve done with Pride: strip it of its roots and turn it into a commercialized holiday to sell more stuff. There’s a scene in American Fiction in which Jefferey Wright’s character is appalled at the suggestion that his book

For this week’s Loud List, we compiled clips of metal bands covering pop songs. You don’t typically think you’ll hear pop songs when you’re going to a metal show, but music is music, and a lot of artists don’t discriminate by genre. Plus, you’d be lying if you said there isn’t a single pop song in

Do you remember a few years ago when everyone was wearing their colossal Anthropologie initial necklaces? You could see the emboldened Scarlet Letter from a mile away. Everyone who was anyone had one…but quickly, they cycled out of style. Mine still remains in my archives, collecting dust as a relic in my jewelry cabinet. Every
