Why every post you make can't be nothing but wrong. Edited January 17 by vale9001 9
Saint James Posted January 17 Posted January 17 thank god. they had some interesting reviews in the early 2010s but have been steaming garbage for a minute now. music discourse has moved to youtube and social media anyway.

Why every post you make can't be nothing but wrong. yeah cause all of them just score a high 7, she never gets bad scores but she hasn’t got a good one since red meanwhile all the other critics are out here giving midnights a 5/5 Edited January 17 by punisher 2
readytowind Posted January 17 Posted January 17 3 minutes ago, Daddy said: Yeah, same. Pitchfork was culturally the most important music publication. The Rolling Stone of the last decade. Also GQ is the one that should be folded. Who the **** reads that **** in 2024? Nope that ain't it. They Ain't the ****

readytowind Posted January 17 Posted January 17 They were horrible swifties. Always handed in overrated points and reviews to her but did terrorize other singers. Such a lame and shallow yellow journalism. They flop now. need to go. 4 2

They Ain't the **** Artists and fans both celebrated a Best New Music win and everyone interested in music knew Pitchfork. Name a publication that was comparable, I'll wait. Pitchfork had the girls PRESSED like none other. You included, it seems. 3 1 1
MALAMENTE Posted January 17 Posted January 17 I surprisingly don’t care. I’m still gonna form my own opinions on music. Don’t need critics telling me to not waste my time on an album just because they don’t like it. 4
Trent W Posted January 17 Posted January 17 I think this is the final nail on the coffin for music journalism There are not publications left that objectively criticize music Everything is written to keep twitter stans happy these days 5

alexrex Posted January 17 Posted January 17 It makes sense, and Im glad. They became sellouts and annoying, promoting Taylor Swift every single time on Instagram. 4 2
Gov Hooka Posted January 17 Posted January 17 Dang I always kind of wanted to go to their music festival. Hopefully that still continues in some form
Rotunda Posted January 17 Posted January 17 This was always gonna be the natural consequence of the democratization of media. Anyone can be a tastemaker now. And even people who care about Pitchfork don’t actually have to click on the website to read reviews, since screenshots spread like wildfire. 1
Domination Posted January 17 Posted January 17 (edited) Good riddance. They went from hyper misogynistic dude bro music publication to yassss queen poptimism overnight in like 2015 and neither of these two modes of journalism has done anything to benefit the music industry. I hope the Sunday Review lives on tho Edited January 17 by Domination 2
Hunter_13 Posted January 17 Posted January 17 Good riddance. No more faux stanning Beyonce and BNAs just because they're afraid of the hive. 2 1 1
Digitalism Posted January 17 Posted January 17 1 hour ago, Gui Blackout said: This is kinda shocking tbh, I thought they had a good enough following and readership. If even they are being folded, it's really over for other music publications. I don't think this is shocking at all. Pitchfork was all about pretentious critics telling pretentious people what to like. Conde Nast changed everything about the brand to make it mainstream. Their original readers stopped consuming it almost immediatelly. 3
shookspeare Posted January 17 Posted January 17 thank god, the quality of "writing" was embarrassing 1
Cain Posted January 17 Posted January 17 I’m genuinely sad about this, they were the bigger music journalism publication and their reviews were good It’s a loss for music journalism, now every review will be “popular singer just released somg, 4/5 stars” in hopes of said singer giving the publication an interview 3 2
