The music industry has always been subject to lightning-fast changes. It's constantly in flux, reinventing and transforming itself in ways that we can never truly predict, and over the course of the last decade, we saw a chain of events play out that would forever alter the way we consume music. From the debut of the streaming era to the rise of diverse artists who dominated charts well into the end of the decade, the 2010s was a major turning point for artists of all stripes. At the start of t

Billie Eilish is everything your average pop star isn't. Routinely clad in oversize T-shirts, baggy sweats, and an attitude that won't quit, the 18-year-old superstar is a bundle of energy and brooding musicality who dances to the beat of her own drum. With her rainbow-hued locks, whispery vocals, and refusal to simply sit back and smile for the camera, she's fearlessly and unapologetically herself at all times. In an age where pop music (and the singers themselves) is routinely decried for be

Theory #1: He's the result of the Dark Side's manipulation of the Force What if Baby Yoda isn't simply an organic creature born to the Yoda species, but a creation of the Force? This theory is a bit difficult to follow, but it's one of the more popular schools of thought currently making the rounds among fans. Essentially, it plays off the idea that there needs to be balance in the Force — both light and dark — and positions Baby Yoda as coming into being in response to Darth Plagueis and Palp

The Xbox Series X, which was code named Project Scarlett, was revealed during The Game Awards 2019 on Thursday night, but it won't land until late 2020. Right off the bat, it's a much different beast than you might expect from Microsoft's Xbox systems. Its form factor alone is unlike anything the company has ever done, it's the most powerful system in the Xbox family and it's poised to launch your living room gaming setup into the stratosphere. It's succeeding the Xbox One X, which currently si

While there are exemptions that do exist to keep some men from having to enlist, those protections don’t extend to K-pop stars. In recent years, only a select group of artists, Olympic medalists, athletes who win gold at the Asian Games, and a few others may be granted exemption. The the select artists who receive exemptions are those who win second place or higher at certain international arts competitions and top placers at an arts competition in South Korea.

The Halloweentown series is something of a mainstay when it comes to memorable movies of the season, and yet its star Marnie Piper (Kimberly J. Brown) rarely gets the recognition she deserves for bringing one of the franchise's most powerful witches to life. She's caring, resourceful, and quick-witted and shares a deep love for Halloween that many of us can likely relate to. But despite having been kept from enjoying the spooky season for most of her life, she isn't bitter or angry. She simply

The world is full of bootlegs: that pair of Yeezy 350 Boosts the eBay seller swore was authentic, the AirPods that don’t quite feel hefty enough you got for a killer deal, and a ridiculous, alarming amount of video games. Bad news: That Game Boy-like system that came packing every single NES title ever released and then some? You were swindled in a big way.

Just as there are masterpieces and real stinkers with spooky TV shows and movies, the same can be said of Japanese anime. Luckily, horror is one area where the medium excels beautifully. With Halloween right around the corner, we've rounded up the most spine-tingling, terrifying anime series the industry has to offer. From Hellsing to When They Cry, there's something for everyone on this list, from anime newcomers to those who've watched all 900+ episodes of One Piece. Grab a change of underwear

Whether you're a BTS ARMY, a self-described BLACKPINK Blink, or a member of LOONA’s Orbit fanbase, there's one thing we can all agree on: K-pop is a global phenomenon quite unlike anything else. While we can credit South Korea as the country with many of the obsessions we carry with us every day (emotional television dramas, Mukbang videos, and amazing skincar

Ever since the ’80s summer camp theme was announced, American Horror Story fans anticipated a ninth season full of homages, outright or thematic, to classic slasher flicks. And, so far, AHS: 1984 does not disappoint. But unless you’re a horror buff, you might miss some of the references Ryan Murphy and co. have made throughout the new season and that’s why we’ve put together this handy list.

With exciting new video game releases scheduled to drop left and right throughout the rest of the year, it might be time to make some equipment upgrades to handle it all.

Just when we were getting used to Wireless-AC, there's a new standard creeping its way onto the market. Thankfully, the Wi-Fi Alliance has realized how confusing the 802.11b/g/n/ac/ax nomenclature is for consumers. So, now you'll be looking for the best router instead of trying to figure out what random letter combination is the latest and greatest.

Video games and music go hand-in-hand. It’s hard to imagine Mario Bros. without its iconic soundtrack or a Final Fantasy game without the series’ beloved victory fanfare. Still, many developers seem unsure how to approach the music in their games. A project that leans too heavily on music typically becomes a rhythm game, defined almost solely by its audio. Don’t focus on it enough, though, and a great score can simply fade into the background, woefully underutilized. Equilibrium has rarely been

Apple's iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro and iPhone 11 Pro Max are all up for preorder. And along with new smartphones come a plethora of accessories from Apple, with Incipio, Otterbox and Anker joining the accessory fun.

The CW’s Batwoman looks to be a faithful adaptation and Kate Kane’s arrival into the Arrowverse will champion queerness in a big way. The live-action adaptation of the trials and tribulations of Gotham’s seemingly fearless caped crusader Katherine “Kate” Kane is coming to primetime on Oct. 6. If it sticks closely to its comic book origins, we’re going to see a nuanced take on a heroine who’s finally able to embrace her sexuality after a tumultuous childhood — all while defending Gotham from its

Nintendo thrilled and delighted fans with its latest Switch-focused Nintendo Direct, which aired on the company’s official Twitch and YouTube channels yesterday. The presentation was chock-full of exciting reveals for the system, such as Overwatch finally settling down on Switch, the arrival of Super Nintendo games via Nintendo Switch Online, and plenty of other anticipated game debuts.

Labor Day weekend is kicking off, and Acer is looking to keep the endless summer savings party going, offering a whopping 20% off its entire selection of laptops, desktops, tablets and more. Using coupon code LABOR20, you can snag some of the best hardware the manufacturer has to offer (some sale items and exclusions apply).

Sometimes the real world gets too hard to bear. Maybe you’re bored with doing the same things day in and day out. Whenever you get sick of playing your own personal role in life, you can always turn to RPGs to experience timeless tales like no other. Whether you become a chosen one meant to save the world from a terrifying dragon or a mercenary poised to keep a planet from certain death while fighting a mentor from your past, there’s a story out there for everyone. RPGs are some of the most inv

It’s difficult to follow the gaming news cycle recently without running into the terms “auto chess” or “auto battler,” but very rarely do they come with an explanation of what they actually are. Both are the same concept, describing a genre that has rapidly made its way into the mainstream vernacular by way of huge names in gaming like Valve and Riot Games with modest roots in the modding community.

Video games and zombies go together like peanut butter and jelly: They’re a dime a dozen, just like when it comes to horror flicks. But that’s because we love seeing the undead shuffle around listlessly (or zooming toward their prey) in an attempt to scarf down brains, entrails, and body parts. We love zombies, period, and we’re always calculating exactly what we’d do in the event the zombie apocalypse actually does happen. (Fingers crossed it doesn’t.)
