The VMAs began with some questionable fashion statements on the pink carpet. Saweetie stood out in a pink dress with a bone attached to it, giving credit to the prehistoric origins of fashion (literal cavemen). Doja Cat looked like she was wearing spider webs. Nicki Minaj looked great in a Dolce & Gabbana dress, but

With the recent release of Olivia Rodrigo’s sophomore album “GUTS,” it is hard not to compare the sound of it to her original hit “SOUR.” Most credit it to her growth as an artist, which is true, but I think it goes beyond that. The teenage years are some of the most confusing for any

A newsroom is an interesting place, and ours is no different.

Every year, the cultured denizens of The Observer’s culture section come together to rank the best albums of the year. The process is long and tiring, involving a complicated Excel spreadsheet (the formulas for which we barely comprehend). Often, there are casualties — this year, there were several. Right on the outskirts of our top-10

A few weeks ago, I wrote an article for the Irish Rover. This week, it was rejected for publication. This is what happened. First and foremost, this letter is not designed to personally attack or threaten any member affiliated with the Irish Rover. Instead, my intention is to expose the flaws and prejudice of the
