Alternative Angst
During my high school days teenagers liked clearly defined categories and placing people in them. In a world where you were either popular or you weren’t, you could be a metalhead or a hip hop head but not both I was a 'blerd' ahead of my time. I had friends from different backgrounds and I didn’t easily fit into one category. My musical tastes were as eclectic as I was and because people couldn’t pigeonhole me I became “that weird black guy”. It wasn’t long before the teasing and ostracising took its toll, causing me to be withdrawn and depressed. With a divorced and overworked mother and shouting siblings, home wasn’t exactly a safe haven either.

Playlist by a 90s gaybie
I never get tired of teasing my mum about the time that she came into my school, all guns blazing, because I'd come home singing Material Girl by Madonna. We'd been doing aerobics moves to it at school, and I loved it. I had no idea what a gold digger "material girl" was, and if it had been chaste prayers that had been set to such a catchy tune I probably would have been singing that too, but alas, my mother was furious.

Five Loser Anthems
Growing up, being emo was never cool. Actually, I stand corrected. It was, but almost exclusively to the teenagers who glamorised its merits. In fact, to us, it was the coolest thing in the world. It was a haven of complete otherness for kids who liked being out of the loop.

My Teen Version ('90s)
When the 90s started, I was 13 and living in a small fishing town on Vancouver Island, Canada. I was in grade eight, my first year of high school, and I was secretly incredibly happy to be back in the same school with my brother, who was in grade 11. He was a senior, he was popular, and he was even a bit famous for his athletic achievements.

The Last Generation for Great Music Was: The 90's
The Last Generation for Great Music Was: The 90's Remembering the Good Old Days By Alisha Allen I have been asked to submit an article on my teenage favorite playlist and I am more than happy to do so. Music was especially important to me as a teenager. Like so many of us, life was challenging for me in high school. I sure had some fun moments, however, there was a lot of hardship too, and not just those fun moments. I know that is every aspect of life, however, when we are teenagers, we don’t really know how to deal with the rough times as we don’t have the maturity or wisdom, yet. Music was what really helped me to get through those rough times. Music also played a role in the great times too. So, I will be mentioning in this article some of the happy, upbeat party songs, as well as some of the songs that helped pull me out of depression.

Phil Collins had a string of hits through the 80s and 90s, but has recently become a mainstay of modern listeners after a his music has been rediscovered by a new generation. Thanks to a viral video of two teens discovering for the first time just how amazing "In the Air Tonight" is, Phil is cool again. But with a body of work that spans decades, how do you know where to begin when it comes to discovering his other classic bangers?

Genesis is Back!
Phil Collins may have hit his peak a few decades ago, but with a new generation discovering his solo hits like "In the Air Tonight" and "You'll be in my Heart" from the Tarzan soundtrack, Collins is suddenly on everyone's playlists once again. But while Collins may be best known today as a solo artist, his former band, Genesis, was once massively popular. What's more is that the band has actually spawned several mega-famous musicians with monster solo careers of their own.
