These dudes had so much clout back in the day. RIP to the original pretentious dipshits, a pox on all poptimists.
one of the hardest lines in rap history
f slurslur filter got it nvm. really unnecessary slur tbh closeted Tyler was something else.I'm stabbin' any bloggin' removed hipster with a Pitchfork
I had a former friend get into rap as an adult just because he read pitchfork for the reviews on the latest Radiohead. I'm not making that up
edit:
Condé Nast acquired Pitchfork, long an independent publication with just two owners, in 2015 for an undisclosed sum. Fred Santarpia, then the company’s chief digital officer, said at the time that bringing Pitchfork into the fold delivered “a very passionate audience of millennial males into our roster.”
stop they're already dead lmao
yah, P4K held so much cultural space in my head as an early teen; i had deep feelings of inferiority and insecurity and the website sort of was doubly inaccessible: for one thing, it's comparative worldliness and sophistication (in the writing, in the music) was very threatening, and also, to fashion myself as a reader was to risk being inauthentic and putting on airs and exposing myself as a wannabe hipster, the most shameful thing, truly.
but before the latter years of trend-chasing and review retconing, they really had a voice (as goofy as it was) and curated and presented some very cool independent and experimental music; and i'm sure i hooked up with a fair share of similarly culturally maladroit young women because i knew the hip todd terje or crystal castles tracks, all thanks to them.
latter years of trend-chasing and review retconing
idk what counts for latter years but weren't they retconning their fleet foxes reviews in the late aughts?
