Picture this: a 16-year-old walks into a record store and starts flipping through a set of dusty vinyls, and pays real money for an album they could stream for free on their phone. Sounds strange, right? However, this is happening everywhere. Welcome to the age of “rewind culture”, where teens are getting nostalgic for decades they never lived through. Look around. Wired headphones are back. Film cameras are showing up at parties. Some are even changing their smart phones f

The power of appearances in the modern world. If nobody could see what we look like, would we still care as much about our appearance? In a society shaped to instantly associate physical beauty with happiness, confidence, and success, looking attractive has become more than a personal preference; it has become an expectation. From the reflection we see in the mirror , to the AI images and posts excessively using photoshop on social media, our perception of beauty is constant

You may not notice your new favorite movies and TV shows are inspired by books. But the avid readers who were fans before the screen adaptation sure do, and have strong opinions about it. While some complaints come after the movie releases and are mostly reasonable (yes, I am referring to Percy Jackson fans who were bewildered by the movies and how they completely ignored the plot of the book), more recent book-to-screen adaptations and cast announcements have not been receiv

On October 18, the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show took place in Los Angeles, bringing together familiar faces, new models, and glamorous musical performances. As reported by Reuters, the show explored the changing seasons, with looks inspired by flowers, snowflakes and metallic elements. For Brazilian viewers, however, there were also familiar names to look out for: Adriana Lima, Alessandra Ambrósio and Carol Trentini shared the runway with Gizele Oliveira, Daiane Sodré, Luiz

No momento em que uma sigla criada para representar parte da música brasileira passa a representá-la por completo, o que acontece com os gêneros que ficam para trás? Existe algo muito estranho na maneira em que atualmente falamos sobre a música brasileira. Basta uma música ser antiga, ter um violão, uma voz suave, uma letra minimamente poética ou simplesmente ter sido lançada décadas atrás para alguém afirmar: “Isso é MPB”. E, de alguma forma, nos últimos anos estamos aceitan

When the internet first became popular three decades ago, children, teenagers and adults were amazed by all the things it could do. This was a crucial period for technological development, as the internet was still in its early stages and was being discovered by people all over the world. It also began changing people's lives and how children and young people grew up and learned. Since then, the internet has evolved and become accessible to nearly five billion people all over

We all know Halloween for being the spooky season, full of candy, costumes, pumpkin, trick-or-treat, parties and ghosts. But have you ever actually thought where all of that came from? Halloween is celebrated on October 31, the name comes from All Hallow's Eve, which is the evening before All Saint's Day. It developed through a mixture of ancient traditions such as Celtic and Christian traditions. One of its main influences was the Celtic festival of Samhain, which marked a

Isn't it interesting how society separates one whole month to decorating, and uses its passion to conquer its objective of creating a creepy and unsettling environment for one day? Halloween is an annual holliday celebrated on October 31st, known historically as All Hallows’ Eve; whereas “Hallow” stands for Holy or Saint, and “Eve” stands for a major church feast. However, even with a religious background, Halloween is still considered a daunting holiday because of a mix of b

TikTok doesn't just know what music you like, it might be deciding what music you like. Before the rise of Tiktok people discovered music through the radio, recommendations from friends and albums. Today, millions of people can discover the same song from a fifteen-second video without ever knowing the artist’s name. TikTok has completely changed the way our generation experiences music, switching how we interact with albums, encouraging artists to create songs designed to go

How has social media changed the way we express individuality through fashion? Is it self expression when thousands of people are dressing similarly? Have you ever looked through your wardrobe and wondered why you no longer reach for clothes you once loved just a few months ago? Perhaps you tell yourself that your taste has changed or that your personal style has evolved as you grow. But what if these changes are influenced by more than just your own preferences? In a world

Giving a dementia patient a spoonful of their favorite meal can bring them back to times their brain can no longer recall. The food marketing sector can use the same method to sell you anything convincingly through nostalgic appeal. A strong enough flavor can recover a memory buried deep in the mind, but what separates therapy from manipulation? Well-being is the main goal of a care facility, while in a conference room, it is to increase sales; the neuroscience of flavors can

From the car window, Salem looked almost disappointingly normal. It was pretty, of course. It had the small streets, old buildings, and very American little-town feeling I had expected. But nothing about it seemed particularly dark. There were no haunted pumpkins laying around or a ghostly woman standing beside a graveyard. There was really no obvious sign that we had entered one of the most famously haunted cities in the United States. It was just Salem, Massachusetts. As s

When Coachella comes around, you just know that it will be the only topic spoken about for weeks to come. And last weekend’s Coachella (April 10-12) did not disappoint. The looks, the food, the heat, and, most importantly, the performances, were all everyone wanted to talk about. The headlines of this Coachella’s night one (Friday) and night two (Saturday) were Sabrina Carpenter and Justin Bieber, respectively. Sabrina’s performance was a full-on experience: multiple sets,

In recent years, fashion trends have shifted rapidly. Towards the end of 2025, a new trend began to spread with full force: extreme thinness. The extremely visible collar bones, low-rise silhouettes and sharp cheekbones have become everyone's desire. But this diet culture has more depth to it than people imagine. Thinness has always been cyclical in the fashion industry. In the 1990s, the dominant aesthetic was the “heroin chic”, which was led by models such as Kate Moss..

From “ICE Out” speeches to shocking performances and historic wins, a night that reshaped the Grammys Last Sunday, February 1st, one of the world’s most-watched music award shows, the Grammys, took place at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, airing live on HBO at 21:30 Brasília local time. The night was packed with unforgettable moments: political statements, sharp jokes about current events, surprise appearances, tributes to late artists, and historical performances. Fro

The 68th Annual Grammy Awards just happened this past weekend and it was a big win for the Latino community worldwide. In this edition of the award ceremony, several latino artists gained recognition for their incredible role in music and popular culture in 2025. Furthermore, several award winners decided to raise awareness to the mistreatment of the community in their speeches. One of the artists who gained special recognition is Lefty Gunplay, who, along with Kendrick Lam

Just the other day, I overheard two of my teachers talking about turning themselves into superheroes from Marvel comics. Intrigued by the unusual topic, I continued to listen to one tell the other how, by putting their pictures into ChatGPT, the generator would create an image of them as one of their characters. Much to their disappointment, the app was unable to capture their distinctive features, and the end result turned out so bland that it could represent any other pers

“Your clothes are the most political choice that you make everyday” is a famous quote said by Sage Paul, an award-winning fashion designer and the Artistic Director of Indigenous Fashion Arts. This quote raises the question if fashion and politics are linked, and if fashion is not just about style, but a reflection of values. The truth is that fashion and politics are deeply intertwined. Fashion has always been much more than clothes and trends; it serves as a form of powerfu

We are finally heading into December, so toss out your pumpkins and skeletons and dust off your trees and mistletoes — Christmas season has finally arrived. As we move towards the end of the year, the sound of holiday songs starts to flood the streets, malls start to crowd with eager family members buying gifts, and all products on supermarket shelves get replaced by panettone. Oh, how good it feels to be back to the best time of the year! Holiday spirit has truly started to

This holiday issue could not be complete without the mention of a beautiful event, celebrated by a variety of members of our EABH community: Hanukkah. The word Hanukkah - sometimes spelled Chanukah - means “dedication” in Hebrew. According to the Hebrew calendar, Hanukkah is an eight-day festival celebrated by the Jewish community around November or December. This holiday celebrates the rededication of the Second Temple in Jerusalem. During the second century BCE, the Sele
