Gen Alpha Shocked Mom Knows About Her 'New' Style Discovery
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A mom has shared the hilarity of her Generation Alpha daughter proudly revealing the "new aesthetic" she is into—only to find out her mom lived through it the first time. Sarah Linville (@moonlitlichen) said on Threads that her 11-year-old recently became obsessed with the "scene" style and described it to her as if it were a groundbreaking discovery. The post quickly gained more than 35,000 views. "I told her I was during the Myspace era and her jaw was on the floor when I started talking about it. I guess she thinks I'm a square or something. I was there when the old magic was written child, you've come to the right place," Linville wrote. The mid-2000s trend was defined by: big black hair, neon hair streaks, layered bracelets, teased hair, skinny jeans and facial piercings. Stacy Jones, founder and CEO of Hollywood Branded and a pop-culture marketing expert, told Newsweek: "Back in the mid-2000s, 'scene' wasn't just a look—it was a whole mood; Myspace profiles with the perfect auto-play song, late-night photo booth marathons, neon bracelets stacked to your elbows, and hair that could rival a skyscraper. It was all about standing out, building your personal 'brand' before that was even a thing, and finding your people online." The trend coincided with the first massive wave of digital photos that still circulate online today. Now, Jones said, Gen Alpha and younger Gen Z are embracing it as something new, fueled by TikTok trends and emo/pop-punk nostalgia, while older generations watch in a mix of recognition and amusement. Millennial fashion expert and stylist Samantha Dawn told Newsweek that fashion has always recycled trends, but newer generations are experiencing them for the first time while millennials and Gen Xers have already been through them. "I find that millennials and Gen Xers have a harder time with today's fashion, because they've evolved past that identity of skinny jeans and layered tanks. They're in a new phase of rediscovering who they are and what style expresses exactly that," Dawn said. She added that millennials and Gen Xers are in a phase of rediscovering personal style, dressing for themselves rather than for trends—something she credits to maturity and "adult money."

Crispine posted: "I was called an 'emo prep' by a preteen this weekend and I laughed so hard and said 'I'd actually prefer pixie goth'. and then we talked about emo vs goth." Caleigh wrote: "Me, age 12, explaining to my dad that Blink-182 and Sum 41 were this new genre of music called 'punk'. My dad used to hang out with the punks in Montreal in the 70s." Another user commented: "Do not cite the dark scripture to me young child, for I was there when it was written, with an asymmetrical haircut and that Féria box black dye that was blue in the right lighting." Ashley added: "LMAO [laughing my a** off] mine did this too. I had to break out the artifacts on Photobucket and show her the truth." Amanda shared: "There's emo teens that live on my street, and I've watched them roam around in all black, full sleeve and full pants attire in nearly 40C degree weather. And every time, I get a little tear in my eye. Nostalgia—how I long for thee." Newsweek reached out to @moonlitlichen for comment via Threads. We could not verify the details of the case.

Permian honors college bound seniors
May 14—By James Keith Thirty Permian High School seniors announced their plans for higher education Wednesday, signing their letters of intent in the Permian orchestra room as part of Permian's Fine Arts Signing Day. This year's event saw an increase in students planning on majoring or minoring in fine arts programs. Permian orchestra director Todd Berridge said 20 seniors committed to the growing field of study. Berridge said this event has been a great addition to the fine arts programs that helps to reflect the hard work of each and every student. "It just shows that not only are our athletes signing letters of intent to go off to university, but that these guys absolutely will study and work hard too," Berridge said. "Fine arts is a great field with lots of money they like to throw in, and these universities are throwing money out left and right to fill these spots." As fine arts expands, students who do not plan on studying the field are still finding ways to remain involved. Carson Webb, who plans on attending Texas Tech University as a pre-med student, said he hopes to be a part of the school's Goin' Band from Raiderland. "I've wanted to go to Texas Tech since I was seven or eight because my mom was in the Goin' Band, and I wanted to follow her legacy," Webb said. "Along the way I learned that Texas Tech has a good med program as well, and once I learned that I was set." Webb said he felt relieved after signing his letter of intent and hopes to be the best version of himself when he gets to Texas Tech. While many students committed themselves to Texas institutions, Madelyn Linville, who plans on majoring in musical theatre, intends on attending the Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts. Linville said she was encouraged by a former Permian student who currently attends Berklee. "When I joined Permian Theatre, I realized the stage is exactly where I needed to be," Linville said. "I'm ready to get to Berklee and finally start being a stage actress, start finding jobs, and getting my name out there." Linville said she hopes to end up on broadway and go on tour, and signing her letter of intent is a big step towards that goal. "It felt really good to finally sign my letter," Linville said. "This was a really long process and a really grueling one that took me all the way up until May. It finally felt official to get it on paper."

Nutrien paints bullish fertilizer industry picture despite poor Q1 results
By Ed White WINNIPEG, Manitoba (Reuters) -Nutrien offered a bullish outlook for the 2025 global fertilizer market in an analyst call on Thursday, despite issuing disappointing first-quarter results on Wednesday night. Strong global demand combined with supply constraints is driving up prices around the world, said Nutrien's president and CEO, Ken Seitz, who downplayed trade-war impacts. Weather-related delays in the United States and Australia slowed down fertilizer sales, and higher-than-expected natural gas prices pinched first-quarter earnings, but energy prices have declined and global sales have recovered. "Things are going strong," Seitz said. The Saskatoon, Canada-based firm posted an adjusted profit of 11 cents per share for the quarter ended March 31, compared with analysts' average estimates of 31 cents, according to data compiled by LSEG. Nutrien shares fell 2.8% to close at C$76.19 in Toronto on Thursday. Despite the earnings miss, Morningstar analyst Seth Goldstein did not find the company's explanation about weather hurting its fertilizer retail business far-fetched. "Look at the first half, not the first quarter," he said, referring to a likely upsurge in fertilizer use by U.S. farmers following a wet early spring. "In my mind the fundamentals are looking great for the fertilizer business." Nutrien expects the global potash business to be 71 million-75 million metric tons in 2025, with industry production capacity the limiting factor rather than demand. Overall fertilizer demand is growing in all markets and spot prices are rising, Seitz said. The increase in U.S. corn acres this year is positive for fertilizer consumption due to that crop's comparatively high nutrient needs. China and India are also expected to have strong demand. The present trade battles around the world, involving the U.S., Canada, China and many other countries, have "not impacted the outlook for our business," Seitz said. Nutrien's Canadian-made products cross the U.S. border without a tariff and its global supply chain has been navigating other tariff regimes. Chris Reynolds, Nutrien's executive vice president and chief commercial officer, said tariffs could affect how fertilizers and chemicals are sourced, but "generally the story is much more about demand." Nutrien executives said they see robust U.S. demand for fertilizers in the second half of 2025, but StoneX analyst Josh Linville sees low corn profitability as a threat, especially for phosphate. "I think there are going to be some struggles," Linville said. "I think we've got a really, really big danger that we're going to see demand slower and lower than what is typical." Farmers might put off fertilizer purchases and application if they face poor returns this fall, Linville said. Nutrien's Brazilian operations continue to be reorganized, with good signs in various areas of business, but agricultural chemicals earnings are "still seeing competition from generics and it's certainly stressing (chemicals) prices," said Reynolds in the call. Nutrien is focused on production improvements, small acquisitions, cost-cutting and noncore divestitures to improve financial performance, Seitz and other executives said.

West Point eaglets die after nest knocked down by storm
MADISON TWP., Ohio (WKBN) — The Eagles Nest at West Point has been a beloved bird-watching spot for years, bringing people from across northeast Ohio to see the bald eagle pair and their eaglets. During Tuesday's severe weather, tragedy struck, knocking the nest from the tree. The two eaglets did not survive. 'There's two babies there, a little over a month old,' said Reina Linville, a West Point resident. A small crowd of people braved the rain to gather on East Liverpool Road just off Route 11 in West Point to see if the high winds and rain had knocked down the eagle's nest from its perch. Local birdwatchers pointed to a mound of crushed branches and sticks as evidence that it had. 'The parents are okay, but the Eaglets, just the way everything landed, it just didn't work out,' said Jesse Janosik, an officer with the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. Birds in Flight Sanctuary and Janosik went on the other side of the marshy spot where the birds made their home to pick up the nest, discovering the dead eaglets as one of the parents watched from the skies. Linville was passing by. She mourned the loss. 'The nest over the years had shifted and fell down, and this year they rebuilt. So, we were excited to see the new babies this year and that they did come back,' Linville said. Linville runs a Facebook group dedicated to watching the birds. She feels they bring the West Point community together. 'As the years have gone by, everybody comes back, as they know. Februrary, early march, the eggs are hatching and they wait for the furry heads to pop up,' Linville said. Ohio has gone from having around a dozen eagle nests in the 90s to now over 1,000, including eight in Columbiana County. Locals hope the birds will display their usual resilience and rebuild. 'The nest here has fallen down before, and they've rebuilt, but hopefully they pick a better tree next time,' Janosik said. 'We're hoping that they come back and rebuild and stay in this area,' Linville said. ODNR took custody of the eaglets, which are protected under a federal act. Janosik wasn't sure what would happen with their remains but says the remains of adult eagles are turned into a repository at the federal government, where they are given to Native American tribes for use in religious ceremonies. ODNR has a map of confirmed eagle nests throughout Ohio on its website. Bald eagles and their nests are protected under both state and federal laws. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Conservation group sues governor over Wildlife Commission appointment
Apr. 24—OLYMPIA — An Olympia-based conservation organization has filed a lawsuit against Gov. Bob Ferguson over his reappointment of Molly Linville to the Washington Fish and Wildlife Commission, arguing Linville cannot hold two elected or appointed positions simultaneously. The Washington Wildlife First Foundation's lawsuit, filed in Thurston County Superior Court on Tuesday, alleges that Linville is ineligible to serve on the commission since she also serves as a member of the Palisades School Board. According to a letter obtained by The Spokesman-Review, Linville resigned from the Palisades School Board. The nine members of the Washington Fish and Wildlife Commission hold six-year terms and are tasked with overseeing the Department of Fish and Wildlife. The commission must include three members from Western and Eastern Washington and three members who can be from anywhere in the state. While membership requires Senate confirmation, members serve as voting members on the commission while awaiting approval. According to her resignation letter, Linville stepped down from the school board Thursday. "Rather than drag the school through the mud and clog up the courts with this lawsuit, I am choosing to step down," Linville wrote, adding that she had "done nothing more wrong than volunteering my time to two entities." The Palisades School District has 29 students and three teachers in Douglas County. Claire Davis, executive director of Washington Wildlife First, said Thursday it was unclear how the resignation would impact the lawsuit. A spokesperson for Ferguson did not immediately respond to a request for comment Thursday afternoon. Days before the session ends, it is uncertain if the Senate will vote on the nominations before it adjourns on Sunday. The Senate Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee is scheduled to hold an executive session on three appointments to the commission on Friday morning. With so little time remaining in the session, the nominations might not be brought to vote before the full Senate. Days before he left office, Jay Inslee nominated Ferry County rancher Lynn O'Connor to Linville's position representing Eastern Washington on the commission. Ferguson announced on April 9 that he had nominated Linville, Jim Anderson and Victor Garcia to the commission, writing in a statement that the three brought "deep and varied experience, as well as unique perspectives to the Fish & Wildlife Commission." The appointment comes after the governor's office reviewed 14 eligible nominations to the commission. Linville, a rancher from Douglas County, was previously appointed to a six-year term by Inslee in 2019. According to Linville's biography provided in Ferguson's announcement, she received a bachelor's degree in wildlife biology from the University of Montana and previously worked for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service as a wildlife biologist and a refuge manager. While on the commission, Linville has worked with lawmakers on fire suppression in communities not served by a fire district and on fire impacts on rangeland, according to her commission biography. In 2018, Linville received the Redd Fund Award from the Society for Range Management for excellence in range management. The Sportsmen's Alliance Foundation filed a similar lawsuit in 2023 after Inslee appointed Commissioner Lorna Smith, who also served on the Jefferson County Planning Commission, to the post. Following the lawsuit, Smith resigned from the planning commission and continues to serve on the wildlife commission. Linville's term will expire on Dec. 31, 2030.
