Having a meltdown is very natural for any person. An overflow of emotions can cause you to lose self control and act abnormally and we have all been affected by this at one point or another. But to have a meltdown on television in front of millions of viewers can make you seem a little [...]

Grunge (sometimes referred to as the Seattle Sound) emerged during the mid-1980s in the state of Washington, particularly in the Seattle area. Inspired by hardcore punk, heavy metal and indie rock, grunge is generally characterized by heavily distorted electric guitars, contrasting song dynamics, and apathetic or angst-filled lyrics.

We love our soap operas. They have ridiculous plots and unbelievable characters. Just like actual operas but without the fat lady singing.  We kid ourselves in to thinking we’re not addicted but there’s always some fiendish cliffhanger to keep us hooked. Soaps share a number of clichés that may make us groan but we’d miss [...]

Let’s take a trip back to the 1970’s, 80’s and 90’s, a musical time when we didn’t need the internet, iPods, or even cell phones to function.  MTV was growing and music was changing, from disco, to electro-phonic, to 80’s rock, and grunge.  We are all in search of those few songs where everything is [...]

Whether intentionally or not, some films have brought social issues to light, affected laws, forwarded ideologies both good and bad, and generally changed the course of history through their impact on society. Here are ten films [...]
