This is the corner for romance and love in popular culture. Here we’ll be discussing everything we consume and how it affected my outlook on romance, love, and relationships.
There’s a reason why happily ever after exist. Because we believed in it. We believed in fairytale romances. We were influenced by Prince Charming and Cinderella, by Pam and Jim from The Office. Growing up at the peak of not only television development, but movies, music, social media, the technology boom!
In addition, as millennials, we grew up at a time with the most interesting mix of pop culture. 90’s nostalgia, the influencers of social media, and an endless wave of information from Hollywood that affect how we see love and romance.
Letters and Hearts needed a place for that. It needed a place for how mainstream media has played a role in our lives.
More often then not, we’re rooting for the main character to get the girl, or longing for the next catchy love song. In everything we see or hear, there’s always love in pop culture.
From Disney to The Office, a Taylor Swift song to a romantic-comedy movie about time travel, this is where we’ll cover everything.
This is where we’ll discuss it all.
Mom, dad, I think I found the absolute song of the summer and it’s ‘For My Hand’ by Burna Boy and Ed Sheeran. It’s no surprised that Ed Sheeran absolutely killed it again with this one. This one gives me a special feeling. I think it gives me a very unique idea of what summer …

It really has been a while since I’ve done one of these so I wanted to shout out a very special song that I’ve been listening to again recently, Ghost. While Justin typically always has a song or two that sleeps on the album for a while before exploding, I’m looking at you Love Yourself, …

Perfect is really hard to come by regardless of what it relates to. Especially when it’s intangible like a relationship, how can you really determine a perfect partner? I wanted to explore that. So in honour of Ed Sheeran’s new album (I know, I’m a couple weeks late), I wanted to talk about one of …

Yesterday was the 25-year anniversary of Blues Clues. Now this one may be a little disconnected from everything else, but this show actually means more to me than most. See, I wasn’t just a show for me, it was a way to bond with someone outside of my family when I was younger. Teaching us …

I haven’t done one of these in a while, so I thought it’d be fun to talk about one of my all-time favourite episodes of Modern Family. To be more specific, since a lot of people get married in the show, I am referring to Season 5 episode 24 of Modern Family. This is something …

Recently an old song has been showing up on my Spotify pretty much on repeat. It’s Magic by One Direction. Now I know it seems a little bit of a random song to talk about, but the lyrics really bring me back to a simpler time. Let’s talk about the song Magic, by One Direction. …

This one may not be as well known but one of my currently most-listened to artists include Pink Sweat$. Specifically, the song ‘At my worst’. So what’s so special about this song? I think one of the most initial things you get hit with is a general vibe. To describe it, I’d say it sounds …

Just when I thought I wasn’t getting anything to write about, I listen to pov by Ariana Grande for the first time. Correction, I listen to the entire album for the first time (cut me some slack, I’ve been busy). Can we just appreciate this album for a second? I feel like she really dug …
Yes, I meant to put the cover of the remix because this is honestly my favourite version of Right Back. First of all, can I just say that it’s the ultimate summer song. To me the laid-back beat in background accenting Khalid’s smooth voice. It makes any car ride an absolute breeze reminding us of …

You know the one. Even if you don’t remember the part ‘home is wherever I’m with you’, you’ll at least remember the beginning. “Alabama, Arkansas I do love my ma and pa Not that way that I do love you” Yes, the 2010 classic Home, by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros is the song …
