Na'vi 4chan
So during my usual TVTropes surfing, I stumbled upon this link that directed to a really long thread on 4chan that considered the possibility of a Na'vi 4chan since Eywa seems to behave similarly to our Internet.

The Existence of Sylwanin
So with Avatar SE being released in ten days (F*** YES), we've already seen a few bits and pieces of the extra 9 minutes of footage. One in particular, is Jake visiting Grace's old school, which lead practically all of us to theorize on Sylwanin's existence. The most important questions would be her age relative to Neytiri's, as well as if she's alive or deceased.

- Waking Up - OneRepublic
- Jake's First Flight - James Horner (Avatar OST)
- Vox Populi - 30 Seconds to Mars
- This Is War - 30 Seconds to Mars
I'd suggest anyone to try listening to that in sequence and see what I mean
In short, what specific contemporary songs would fit in (read: represent certain scenes/…
