Cross Vibes

The Kilt asked teachers and staff what song they liked to listen to in high school. We then interviewed students and asked what their favorite song was and had them react to each other’s songs. This shows similarities and differences between our generation, and previous generations. We suggest you listen to these new songs and give your own opinion on them You might find a new song or artist to vibe to.
