LITERARY | Three Seconds of Nothing
How strange it is when people tell you that you look like yourself only when you are dressed as somebody they recognize.
People looked at an outfit and immediately began constructing a person around it. A glimpse of a shirt, a haircut, a pair of boots, and suddenly the blanks began filling themselves in. By the time introductions arrived, most people had already decided what kind of story they were looking at.

SPECIAL REPORT | More Than Aesthetics: What Social Media Misses About Alt
Alternative culture has traditionally been encountered through local communities, music scenes, and shared experiences. Today, social media has made those spaces more accessible, allowing users to discover alternative fashion, music, and communities through algorithm-driven feeds.
Yet much of what appears online represents only a portion of the culture itself. Social media can introduce users to its visible expressions, but understanding the values, relationships, and experiences behind them often requires deeper engagement.

Freedom is found in the voices that refuse to be silenced, in the art that dares to challenge the society’s standards, and in the communities that carve out spaces of belonging beyond the boundaries of conformity. Independence exists not solely within the pages of history, but also within the creations and movements that continue to question, disrupt, and reshape the world around us.
On the 128th Philippine Independence Day, we celebrate a freedom that continues to transform with every generation. The freedom fought for by our heroes continues to echo through the artists, creators, and communities who challenge norms, break conventions, and carve new paths of expression. True independence lives in the courage to be different, redefine boundaries, and amplify the voices that refuse to be unheard.

OPINION | Diagnosis: Alt
Nakasuot palagi ng itim? Check. Puno ng piercing at tattoo? Check. Dark ang taste sa music at art? Check. We hate to break it to you pero meron kang problema sa pag-iisip.
Ang batayan ng “diagnosis”? Aesthetic.

LITERARY | I saw you again today
Warmth seeped through the black expanse clinging to your skin, revealing what I had always known—that beneath the serration and ferocity was a heart incapable of holding anything without love.
Your chunky combat boots bore years of wear, each scuff and crease spoke of roads taken on your own terms. Still, you matched your pace to theirs, slowing without hesitation as you led them deeper into your world. Your patience was unmatched, perhaps born from the quiet joy of being seen.

COMMUNITY | Echoes from Below: How Underground Bands Continue to Thrive
The underground music scene is often described by what it does not have: mainstream exposure, commercial backing, and widespread recognition. But for those who live within it, its meaning is shaped less by absence and more by what they can build in this place.
