To like some things, dislike some things, and still be a fan.Now it feels like everything is a team sport-- where you have to endlessly defend your team.

Sombr, Role Model, Conan Gray, and Troye Sivan have all started to have some of their biggest songs to date.So what changed?

The Addiction to Connection (ft Aidan Bisset) Nicky Reardon 2025-07-28 | Is it just me or does it feel like EVERYONE’s love life is a disaster these days?Situationships. Talking stages. Low-effort texting. Going back to your ex…It’s like we’d rather stay stuck in something we KNOW is bad for us than risk being alone. Why? Because connection—even when it’s toxic—is still connection.And we are addicted to it.The dopamine rush of attention. The illusion of intimacy. The validation of being chosen—even if it’s only temporarily.We crave the high of a connection more than the health and consistency of that connection.So we go back. Even when we know better...So how did we become addicted to connection? And how can we break that spell? Well what better guest to have than @aidan.bissett who just put out an entire album exploring this exact topic.You may know him from songs like More Than Friends, Tripping Over Air, and Ultraviolet– but “shut up and love me” goes much deeper into these feelings of heartbreak and our addiction to connection…#aidanbissett #indiemusic #videoessay #heartbreaksong #musicindustry #aspiringartist

The Recession of Creativity Nicky Reardon 2025-07-21 | We are in a recession of originality...From AI Art, algorithms pushing the same things over and over again, to EVERY movie being a remake-- it feels like nothing is original anymore.In fact, 10/10 of the Top 10 Movies of 2024 were ENTIRELY remakes and sequels...It's not that these are bad movies by any means, they just aren't new!
