24 Songs I Loved in '24

Your resident sappy emo boy shares his favorite tunes from the past year.

You know you’re aging when your playlist looks like a high school yearbook and your Spotify algorithm sighs in resignation. But somehow, I still found a few new songs that caught my ear this year. Give ’em a try (or don’t). I’m too busy reminiscing about the winter of '02 when I pissed next to Patrick Stump at the Empress Ballroom in Danbury, CT.
