TikTok Isn't the Reason We Watch ‘Slop.' Burnout Is.
Social media is often the scapegoat for just about everything wrong in modern society. The latest thing it's getting blamed for is 'Slop.' Originally, the term refers to the pervasiveness of low-quality AI-generated content that is flooding social feeds, but it has turned into a catch-all for much of today's subpar products and content. Laying all of this at the feet of social platforms is a mistake, though. Slop is not a new phenomenon. Each generation can point to moments in which the old guard decried that the latest media or gadget was brain-rotting sludge. In my lifetime, it's been everything from Hip-Hop and Grunge music to the rise of reality television to violent video games, such as Call of Duty or Grand Theft Auto, to the Blackberry — which was so addictive it was nicknamed Crackberry.

A new Soundgarden album featuring late frontman Chris Cornell could see the light of day
A new Soundgarden album featuring late frontman Chris Cornell could see the light of day. On the eighth anniversary of the Grunge legend's death (18.05.25), bassist Ben Shepherd has revealed there is an album they made with the 'Black Hole Sun' singer before his passing, which is "yet to be named", suggesting it could be released in the future. When listening back to their music, the musician feels an "overwhelming hit of awe camaraderie, power of creativity, majesty even, and love." He penned on Instagram on the anniversary: "As I wait for my son Noah to get out of school today I'm thinking about … well actually its stuck in my head and's been there since early this morning like a proud spring bird dammit. 'Its a song Chris and Matt wrote 'The Road Less Traveled' for our album that has yet to be named, just hearing Chris' voice helps, I know he did that for everyone he knew…. help them, he did for me, filled with self doubt and indebtedness and in just his tone knew what I was going through and forgave me like he always did even when he was older. It's at this point of recording all of our previous albums I'd get this overwhelming hit of awe, camaraderie, power of creativity, majesty even, and love, from the music, and my bandmates…. and I guess just pure life force. 'I can tell you, it feels good and invigorating to hear Chris singing from over that horizon and hear the mighty… mighty life, of souls sharing. To hear, as a fan… and band member, a song or two Chris brought in a few years ago turn before my very ears and finger blisters into a full blown Soundgarden tune is like feeling a glacier fall away off your chest. (sic)" Soundgarden will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in November. And they have musicians in mind to perform lead vocals in Chris' place. Speaking about the honour, guitarist Kim Thayil admitted it's a "high bar, not just technically, but emotionally" when it comes to choosing someone to represent their beloved bandmate and show "reverence" for the group's legacy. He told Billboard: "It's a high bar, not just technically, but emotionally. There has to be a reverence for the missing brother and founder, and there also has to be reverence for the legacy — both for Chris' work and Chris' creativity, as well as the regard and reverence we have for ourselves collectively and for each other. Some suggestions have come out; I'm not prepared to share that, but I'll just say it's a higher bar than the usual composite of guitarists and drummers or singers." Kim admitted Soundgarden were part of the alternative scene that didn't pay too much attention to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. However, after Chris inducted Heart into the Hall in 2013, and drummer Matt Cameron was inducted as part of Pearl Jam, they had a change of heart. Chris was blown away by the "enthusiasm of the fans" when he took part in Heart's induction and realised how important the validation is. The frontman tragically took his own life in 2017 aged 52. Soundgarden's last album was 2012's 'King Animal'.

Alice In Chains pull Connecticut gig due to drummer Sean Kinney's 'non-life-threatening medical emergency'
Alice In Chains pulled the plug on their concert at the last minute after drummer Sean Kinney suffered a "non-life-threatening medical emergency". The Seattle rockers were due to play Mohegan Sun Arena in Connecticut on Thursday night (08.05.25), but were forced to cancel the gig to prioritise the stickman's health. A social media statement read: 'After our soundcheck this evening at the Mohegan Sun Arena, Sean experienced a non-life-threatening medical emergency. 'We unfortunately have to cancel tonight's show. We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience. Refunds are available at the point of purchase.' At the time of writing, the Grunge legends' concerts on Saturday (10.05.25) and Sunday (11.05.25) in New Jersey and Ohio, respectively, are assumed to still be going ahead. Meanwhile, the 'Man in the Box' group are due to head over the pond to play Black Sabbath's final concert at Birmingham's Villa Park on July 5. This week, it was claimed that Aerosmith's Steven Tyler is planning to make an appearance at the 'Back To The Beginning' charity show. The 'Sweet Emotion' rockers officially retired from touring last August after frontman Steven suffered a fractured larynx, but he has performed a handful of charity shows since, including his sixth annual Jam for Janie Grammy Awards Viewing Party at Los Angeles' Hollywood Palladium in February. And it's now been claimed that the 77-year-old singer will be part of the star-studded lineup at Ozzy Osbourne and co's mammoth all-dayer. A source told The Sun newspaper's Bizarre column: 'Steven's injury was so bad and it has been a long road to recovery. 'He still loves performing live and has sung at a couple of charity events after they cancelled the tour. 'Playing at Ozzy's Back To The Beginning show was an offer he couldn't turn down and he will be on the line-up this summer. 'They are hoping Aerosmith guitarist] Joe Perry might be joining him too, but the final details are still being ironed out.' The 'Back To The Beginning' show marks the first time frontman Ozzy has reunited with his bandmates Geezer Butler, Tony Iommi and Bill Ward in 20 years. Ozzy has struggled with health issues including Parkinson's disease over the last few years, but he is planning to play a short solo set before joining the rest of the group for a Sabbath spectacular. The singer has admitted he won't be putting on an energetic show and will likely spend most of the gig sitting down, but he's trying his best to be as fit as possible for the big day. He told the Guardian: "I do weights, bike riding, I've got a guy living at my house who's working with me. It's tough – I've been laid up for such a long time. I've been lying on my back doing nothing and the first thing to go is your strength. 'It's like starting all over again. I've got a vocal coach coming round four days a week to keep my voice going." Ozzy's wife Sharon previously insisted the singer's voice is as good as ever despite all of his health problems. She told The Sun newspaper: "He's very happy to be coming back and very emotional about this [planned gig]. "Parkinson's is a progressive disease. It's not something you can stabilise. It affects different parts of the body and it's affected his legs. But his voice is as good as it's ever been." The lineup also includes Metallica, Anthrax, Slayer, Pantera, Gojira, Halestorm, Alice In Chains, Lamb of God, and Mastodon.
