Maksym Graham (23) listens to music during a work period in AP Environmental Science. He beams with excitement as his playlist matches his mood perfectly. You could experience the same excitement by clicking on the link and finding your perfect playlist.
The release of “Nxde,” the title track in k-pop girl group (G)-idle’s newest album, sheds light on the sexualization of women in media and how search engines perpetuate unjust stereotypes. Taking inspiration from the timeless icon Marilyn Monroe and her experiences, “Nxde” raises conversations about society’s paralleling criticisms and disrespectful portrayals of females. This collage pieces together key elements from “Nxde”‘s music video, an iconic outfit of Monroe from “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953)”, and screenshots of search engines and graphs that further the podcast’s main discussion.
Austin Ra (23) kneels as intense rain falls down on him. Austin poses in front of Fawcett Library on a rainy day for his new episode of Austin on the Block.
Sam Kamal (‘25), Jack Messina (‘23), Jonah Canty (‘23), Oliver Butcher (‘24) and Ryan Walker (‘23) in the theatre booth during the show.
