As we release the first edition of Melodrama, we are focused on one thing: the interest of our youth. We began this edition with more serious topics, pushing to discuss controversy surrounding issues such as “canceling” individuals. On our cover, our issue’s featured artist, Bleach, takes center stage. Bleach is a youth band that has grown up in the St Louis area, representing how music develops within our community.

Farther into the issue, we try our hand at makeup inspired by the hit show Euphoria. The makeup world is constantly changing, and teen influence is more prevalent than ever. We attended concerts, played with makeup, and researched alongside our writers to understand controversial topics that spark meaningful discussions. At the end of the day, though, our student body is what brought this paper to life.
