It is difficult to write about 2020 and avoid cliche, but we'll try. After all, while the world seemingly fell apart, it actually just kept turning. Most of us, if only out of sheer necessity, simply carried on. Those of us who could, kept working. We got up each day and plugged away, at times through a fog of uncertainty, fiscal and existential anxiety. One thing that kept many of us going was music. From protest anthems like Lil Baby's "The Bigger Picture" to the internet-breaking "WAP" and Taylor Swift's surprise magnum opus Folklore, music was often the conduit through which we experienced and coped with a historically traumatizing year.
