The 2024 Grammy's witnessed a triumphant rise of alternative rock music, with bands like Paramore and Boygenius scooping top honors, alongside some major updates from the Apple camp on their forthcoming iOS 17.4 update.
Paramore, led by the fiery Hayley Williams, not only bagged their first ever Grammy but also managed to bring home two, winning 'Best Alternative Music Performance' and 'Best Rock Album' for 'This Is Why'. Meanwhile, rival band Boygenius showcased their remarkable talent, clinching 'Best Rock Song' for their power ballad, 'Not Strong Enough', which also won them 'Best Rock Performance' at the annual ceremony. This victory establishes them as key players in the alternative music scene.
Just as the alternative rock genre had its moment of glory at the 2024 Grammy's, Apple was generating significant buzz in the tech domain with their much-anticipated iOS 17.4 update. Set to be released in March, the new iOS aims to remake user experience in Europe, introducing numerous features, most notably significant changes to the App Store in the European Union, introduction of Apple Podcast transcripts, and the addition of SharePlay.
However, the joyous news of Boygenius's victories was slightly dampened by the announcement that the band, made up of Phoebe Bridgers, Julien Baker, and Lucy Dacus, is going on an indefinite hiatus. The representative for the trio stated that they would be "stepping back", but no further details were disclosed.
Amidst this whirlwind of rock wins and tech developments, it is clear that we are witnessing an exciting time both in terms of music, particularly in the alternative rock genre, and the future of tech. As both spheres continue to evolve, we can look forward to more groundbreaking accomplishments and innovative advancements that will reshape the norm in their respective domains.
