With 2011 coming to an end, you should prepare to be flooded with countdowns from the year’s top movies to the top music videos. Yes, some of these lists are entirely trivial, but they are also short and sweet and sum up a year in less than five minutes. A trivial list in this context would be the top ten reality stars, which is a completely unnecessary countdown since a Kardashian is at every number. You, Shockya readers, deserve an unpredictable list that can benefit you, not make you wish you could be famous for doing absolutely nothing. So, open up your iTunes and get ready to purchase the Top…

We asked you tell us the most reckless thing you have done. We kept it pretty open with either it being a story about a…

Grunge music has somewhat gotten lost amongst the other genres. We are not blaming alternative rock or pop music for its depletion. We put the fault on those bands who were unable to harness the rugged and soulful sound of Nirvana. Amongst all the Kurt Cobain posers, we were able to find a young and refreshing artist who could stand pretty close to Cobain’s throne. Taylor Momsen’s band, Pretty Reckless, made their mark on the fleeting grunge scene with their debut, Light Me Up. The fearless band has just unlocked the door to the grunge world, so we have got to say that their album could very well become iconic….
