    Mitski transcends your “sad girl” label (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    “Townie,” “Your Best American Girl” and “Brand New City” were on loop for however long it took the school bus to arrive at Coppell High School Ninth Grade Campus. This was my daily routine on the bus to school and back for months after my older cousin introduced me to my soon-to-be top artist. Since then, Mitski has been my top artist for the past four years: I have listened to all her songs hundreds of times, hung vinyl records and CDs against my walls and have even gone to one of h

    The Velvet Sundown: Modern mirage of music (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    If you’ve spent enough time scrolling on TikTok, you’ve probably become accustomed to many songs without ever putting them in a playlist — through slideshows, art trends or edits of your favorite show. Listening to music has become something that begins on other platforms, before eventually becoming familiar enough to earn a spot in our libraries. Finding the artist usually follows. For listeners discovering The Velvet Sundown, that search result led to a band whose members did not exist. The Ve

    Coyote vs. Hollywood (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    If you grew up watching 1970s reruns of “The Road Runner Show,” you have borne witness to Wile E. Coyote’s decades of enduring Acme’s products — explosions, falling anvils and faulty gadgets and gizmos. In “Coyote vs. Acme,” he finally takes them to court. Ironically, the film’s central joke became strangely literal before audiences even had the chance to see it. In November 2023, Warner Bros. abandoned the complete live-action/animation hybrid film in favor of a $30 to 40 million tax write-off,

    If buying isn’t owning, piracy isn’t stealing (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    There used to be a time when buying a movie meant owning a movie. A DVD you bought two decades ago would play the exact same way it did back then. The production could go bankrupt, the studio could be lit ablaze, the licensing agreement could expire, but that wouldn’t change the fact that your copy was yours. Increasingly, that relationship with media no longer exists. Movies and shows are moved to giant streaming platforms en masse; games live on digital storefronts and music on phone icons r

    Homeless people do not owe you explanations (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    “I feel like it’s their own fault.” “If I give them money, they’ll just waste it on drugs.” These are all things I have heard in conversations about homeless people. Whether in a big city or small town, sentiments remain the same. Homeless people are just not deserving of our empathy. For some reason, the empathy and values we are taught at a young age are forsaken in favor of casting judgment and assumptions onto complete strangers rather than simply empathizing with people in an un
