Netflix
By Destiny Medicine Cloud
Netflix is the biggest streaming service in the world and members can watch their favorite movies and TV series without having to deal with ads. However, there will be a new service that is cheaper if you don’t mind sitting through ads, with prices from $6.99 to $19.99.
There is something for everyone on Netflix. If you are into true crimes, there are shows like “Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story”, or “The Ted Bundy” tapes. Or if you are into dramas then there are also shows like “Grey’s Anatomy” or “Stranger Things”.
I think it is very time-consuming and addictive but I still use it every day as entertainment. People love it so much because everything you watch you want to watch more.
Shoegaze
By Juliana Blatzheim
Shoegaze is a subgenre of alternative rock that is created through the usage of distorted guitars and effect pedals.
This genre is unlike any other, using tons of layers to create atmospheric music. The guitarists in Sshoegaze bands are known for gazing down at their shoes to control their pedals, giving the genre its name. The most popular shoegaze bands include Slowdive, My Bloody Valentine, and Cocteau Twins, all originating in the ‘80s. The most popular shoegaze songs include When You Sleep by My Bloody Valentine, Fade Into You by Mazzy Star, and Sea, Swallow me by Cocteau Twins. In the ‘90s, there were many bands making shoegaze music, but with all the lights on grunge and Britpop, it never rose to popularity. Shoegaze has become more popular recently with its influence in modern movie soundtracks and on the social media app, TikTok.
Shoegaze is definitely not for everyone, but the people that do enjoy it are big fans, and for a good reason.
Online shopping

Online shopping is a way to shop without going out, it might take a bit longer to get. Some stores do it online and pick it up in the store. Online shopping is a way to kill time, some people shop online for fun or because it’s interesting, or because they need the items. Many people shop online after COVID happened. Online line shopping can be very addicting. Doing this provides a way to have fun from the comforts of your own home. Some pros of online shopping are that you can buy something big and not worry if it won’t fit in your car. Another pro is it will just get delivered to your door or if it’s a present delivered to their door. Some cons are that you can try them on and sometimes you can’t return them or you have a certain amount of days, another con is that there is a shipping cost and one more con is Privacy and security are legitimate concerns for any online shopper. Your payment information could get stolen from the site, or someone who works there could copy your bank details and use them later on their own purchases. It’s also hard to immediately recognize whether an online store is real or just there to scam you.
