Genre Wars: Hybridization vs. Influence in Modern Music
By Alex Elias of Dilemma (The following article is an opinion piece and contains my personal thoughts on the subject.) Genre; an arguably archaic ‘technical’ way of categorizing similar bodies of music so loosely defined and frequently altered that anyone claiming to be able to define one with perfect precision in 2024 is essentially declaring themselves a liar.

Why One X is Three Days Graces' Magnum Opus
Introduction: The Emotional Resonsance of My Childhood I remember my first encounter with Three Days Grace well. I was only 9 at the time and had no idea the profound impact the day I spent with my cousin would have on my life. We were in the garage talking to my uncle as he worked on some car-related task. The paint-splattered boom box playing a CD I first mistook for a generic rock group. It was the One X CD which had just come out earlier that year.

But for now, I want to focus on the nuclear anxiety from the 60s-80s; where tensions between the US and Soviet Union were at an all time high.
