This Beat Cha-Ching Like Money: Why BTS Is So Popular
I’ve been experiencing some pain in my right knee for the past week. I knew I shouldn’t have done what I did a week ago, but I was dying to be another statistic in the world.
Monisha SenPublished 3 years ago in BeatZen as a Hero
MCU Music and Chill I am admittedly a big Marvel, DC, and overall superhero fangirl. My favorite hero is Thor and actually went as Thor: goddess of Thunder for Comicon one year. I enjoy the comics, movies, and shows, and the music for the MCU is pretty incredible too.

My Unique stress-busting playlist
The experts agree that stress will either exacerbate or increase your risk of health issues like heart disease, asthma, obesity, gastrointestinal problems, depression, and more. A recent paper from Harvard and Stanford reported that health issues from job stress alone caused more deaths than influenza, diabetes, and Alzheimer's. This is troubling indeed because we live in an age of constant bombardment of electronics without breaks. Television used to go off at around midnight but now it’s 24/7. The Internet and cell phones also keep us occupied around the clock.
Cheryl E PrestonPublished 3 years ago in BeatIf Queer Art is a Sin, Call Me a Sinner
I, along with so many others in the queer community right now, am living for “Montero (Call Me By Your Name)” by Lil Nas X. I’m especially energized by his bold, unapologetic pride in who he is and the art he is putting out into the world. For every person outraged by his new video, released on March 26, and the brilliant marketing he’s done for it, there’s a whole swath of people who feel seen, validated and represented.

K-Pop has been around for so long. But in the last decade, bands like BTS, BlackPink, and Twice were able to pull massive audiences from around the world to let them that K-Pop is a thing and it’s perfect. Or is it?
freya gilbertPublished 3 years ago in BeatHow New Wave Saved My Life
It wasn't long after my Boyz In Fashion era that I fell completely in love with New Wave music. Yes, being that it was 1990 (or so) I know that I was late to the game, so to speak. If I recall correctly, it was Respect by Erasure that really did me in. That rhythm, that voice and the desperation in it, really ignited a flame within that I can't extinguish to this day. I became voracious for that music then. I visited record stores and asked the clerks for recommendations. They introduced me to The Smiths, Depeche Mode, The Cure, Echo and the Bunnymen, OMD, Psychedelic Furs, New Order, Talk Talk, Pet Shop Boys, etc. I was completely overwhelmed.

Shannon KingPublished 3 years ago in BeatWhat Would R&B and Hip-Hop Be Without Black Women?
R&B and Hip Hop might not be my favorite genres but, there are quite a few black women in these genres that I would like to put a spotlight on because r&b and hip hop wouldn't still exist if it weren't for them and I do love them. Some of these women are part black and quite a few are from New York[my hometown state]. Most of these women you've likely heard of but others you might want to check out their music after you read this.
