• Hardcore band fires singer... for estrogen? In a story that's sure to leave you scratching your head, Tyler and John unpack the bizarre tale of a hardcore band firing their vocalist for allegedly dosing the bassist with estrogen. Is this real? We use ChatGPT to find out.
• Why do we think pop punk is no longer "mainstream'? Pop punk (and emo) have seen a resurgence of sorts over the last couple of years. With only a select few artists hitting the mainstream during that time, why has pop punk failed to stay?
