She is also in Jane the Virgin, which is finally back!! I hope JR and Petra stay together, they are such a good couple and I just want Petra to be happy. 

Or instead of going to the police and possibly getting this kid on a sex offender registry for the rest of his life, maybe... talk to his parents about it first?

I can appreciate that you’re coming at this from a parent’s perspective, and so you have some real skin in the game here, but I have far less trust in judges and prosecutors than you do (with regard to weighing circumstances so that a 14-year-old girl who has a handful of naked pictures of herself on her phone isn’t…

The child porn laws about kids taken picture of themselves and their friends sounded pretty weird to me at first, but I’ve completely come around to it.

It’s not the list that got the attention, though, it’s the brave actions of the girls and the thoughtful response from the boys that is different and newsworthy. It’s a good story with an unexpected result, not to mention that the boy’s name was kept anonymous, so this will not follow him. Your critique really isn’t…

well, she did flat out state that she built her taste on “whatever the cool kids thought was popular” and thats kind of the definition of shallow.

Fiona is also, imho, a more sophisticated artist whose music you can listen to many different times and still get a different take. 

Not at all a dumb question! But it’s a little hard for me to explain exactly what I disliked about it. It just felt like something that would have felt very deep and meaningful to me in my youth, but further into adulthood just felt irritating and self-indulgent. In fairness, it could also have suffered from being…

The Pumpkins were my first concert, in the antique year of 1997.  I still have my shirt with a devil smiley face and the words “the world is a vampire” underneath.  I might have to dig it out this weekend.

You leave Trent out of this. The Downward Spiral is still amazing - you’re pretty spot on on the others though.

Think about the term “guilty pleasure” and what’s often cited:  things women are “supposed” to like such as romantic comedies, pop music, chick lit.  Have you ever heard of anything masculine-coded as someone’s guilty pleasure?

I am a 90s girl and to this day still maintain that Mellon Collie is one of the best alternative albums ever released and that Tonight, Tonight is one of the best music videos ever created. The Pumpkins still have great replay value, though I will admit that “The Perfect Drug” and “Closer to God” are as far as I go for…

The other day, my husband said to me, “I decided not to try to reason with you about buying Jagged Little Pill on vinyl and bought what was in our Amazon cart.” I gave him a pitying look and said, “It is an amazing album. You’ll see.You’ll see.”

Is it possible your husband ruined it for you with his attitude?  My ex made me hate things I loved by ridiculing me/them.  

I feel like this is kind of the nature of music, though. Very little of it stands the test of time, but a great deal of it means something to a person or a group of people at a certain time. I remember earnestly singing to songs that legitimately make me cringe now (I’m looking at you, Backstreet Boys’ “Incomplete”).…

“Jagged Little Pill was “Baby Shark” for mid-’90s angsty tween girls.”

This deserves more stars. The disregard for the value of education is disgusting.

I’m hoping this scandal can open up the door for American teens to start getting the gap year. Seriously, every teenager deserves at least one year off between HS and college and really figure out what they want out of college. Sure, rich kids can go on a year back pack through Europe or whatever, but even working…

I’m telling you why it’s a bona fide scandal. I can’t convince you to care, nor do I really want to. Like, people did actual illegal shit. That’s basically what it boils down to. Again, it’s not just “underqualified kids got accepted to universities.” There was genuine fraud involved.

I was told I should make fun of this poster, but honestly I’m just impressed Quentin Tarantino was able to make a film that is set simultaneously in 1969 and in my 2019 Tinder algorithm. Please, someone pay for my therapy.
