Music to Listen to in 20BiTeen
As I’m writing this, 2018 ended a few days ago. If you’re a gay little bean, I can definitely understand the pain you must feel knowing that we had to leave behind Twenty-Gay-Teen, but hold to your horses, or should I say unicorns, because 2019 is 2019 but it’s also Twenty-Bi-Teen, and it’s only starting! As a bi girl myself, I enjoyed 20GayTeen a whole lot, I discovered a few queer artists that I couldn’t imagine my life without, and I thought I’d share these discoveries with you all. Though I have two really great boys to mention, I am aware of the lack of male representation. I actually don’t listen to a lot of male artists so including some boys just for the sake of it didn’t feel genuine to me because I truly didn’t have many suggestions. I didn’t feel like doing a bunch of research just for the sake of this article. I wanted it to be as intimate and sincere as possible, if it makes sense.

Five Best Dancing Music Videos of 2018
So—who'd have thunk it? Despite the best efforts of the streaming internet, the humble dance music video made a comeback. In AD 2018. But is it that much of a surprise? Eighteen years into the new millennium and we've yet to produce something that doesn't hark back to the past somehow—be it fashion, music, dance, or opinions. The past, we dig it truly so is it really a surprise that we returned to the synchronised visual movements (new pet term for dance video, FYI) of the days past?

Best Albums to Listen to Coming Into the New Year
Many people classify teens as people who love blasting music and blocking everyone out, and I am no exception to this classification. My life revolves around music, I can’t go a day without listening to music. In many ways, music is my therapy, it shows you that others feel the same thing, and allows you to connect with the artist. This is a list of my favorite albums and what songs I like to listen to on those albums. Some are older than others but I still listen to these all the time. Not everyone has the same taste in music, but all of these are albums I highly recommend.

10 Songs That Celebrate Winter
Once upon a time, some people believed that winter was caused by the vegetation goddess Persephone, also known as Kore and Proserpina, returns to the Underworld, taking the ability to grow crops with her. Boreas, the Greek god of the north wind, was the source of all the cold winds. People later spoke of Old Man Winter and Jack Frost, the personifications of ice, snow, and the freezing cold of winter. (Remember the 1979 stop-motion animated TV Christmas special?)
