On Nov. 1, English rock band The Cure released their first studio album since 2008’s 4:13 Dream. During the 16 years between the release of their previous album and this new one, titled “Songs of a Lost World”, it seemed as though the band had accepted their status as a legacy act, content to play the hits and release live albums, deluxe editions of past releases and even an ‘acoustic hits’ album in 2017.

When I was in middle school (in 2014-2015), the “emo trinity” was the bands My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy and Panic! at the Disco (Author’s note: I cannot confidently claim this is true among today’s emo middle schoolers, as I don’t know any I can ask — which is probably for the best).

Read MoreIf the runaway success of Charli xcx’s latest album,“BRAT”, has proven anything, it’s that electronic dance pop is back. Acts like 100 gecs and underscores released well-received albums in 2023, and the rise of hyperpop and its associated genres such as bubblegum bass and electropop in mainstream popularity over the past few years means the pop music landscape is looking more lively than it has in a long time.
