The early 2000’s were ripe with something called Flash Mobs. For those of you who blocked this out or were too young to hear about this trend, people would show up to a public place and dance choreography together. It was kind of cool, but the latest version of this is even better.

We now get to experience something a bit more artful. Musicians are now gathering together to jam out and showcase their immense talent, and we are here for this new trend. In Frankfurt, 1,000 musicians gathered together to play “Killing In the Name Of” by Rage Against the Machine. And as you can see from the video below, they killed it.

If you read this far, you get it: young voices matter. At TRILL, every story is written by emerging writers telling the truth in a media landscape that too often silences them.

We run ads, yeah. But they don’t run us. We’re independent, mission-driven, and powered by people who believe young storytellers deserve more than just “exposure.”

Your donation goes straight to mentorship, editorial support, and launching the next wave of Gen Z writers into media careers that matter.

If that matters to you, chip in. Even $5 helps keep TRILL free, fearless, and independent.
