    Pitchfork is good if youre a band pitchfork likes, but they have serious Ls and a legacy for hating things that turned out to be good and influential.

      a legacy for hating things that turned out to be good and influential.

      don't worry they had no problem editing that legacy to reflect that they were always ahead of the culture

    It's way past time to give up on all current cultural institutions and try to develop new local ones that are run as cheaply as possible. The culture industry is dying and there's nothing to say but good riddance

    I’m really fucking glad I checked the comments because I wasn’t aware anyone outside of the circlejerk that is Pitchfork and its advertisers actually cared about Pitchfork. “Esteemed alternative publication” seems like a huge stretch. My background is heavy shit and Midwest DIY so maybe it just never caught on in those scenes and there are scenes where Pitchfork was more than punchline.

    if pitchfork is what counts for culture we can go ahead and let capital have it as far as I'm concerned.

      Pitchfork was a website that promoted music artists. It helped me discover some artists that I hadn't heard. It was a decent website.

    The funniest thing about people who like pretentious music is that they all hate their biggest supporters

    Literally never seen a single Fantano viewer, Pitchfork reader, or RYM user not hate on their platform

      I liked Pitchfork. It was a good website to discover new music. I've never been to Portland and I'm not a hipster. Thanks for bumping the post.
