The people who gave The Fragile a 2/10?
lmk when GQ absorbs Conde Nast's other property 
270 Pitchfork employees were laid off
I feel like this is a good place to share this example of Pitchfork writing at its finest...
enshittification continues
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
music is highly subjective of course. there's lots of things that are well-liked and influential that I think suck ass too
that said I never did like reading pitchfork reviews, they were often very pretentious and annoying IMO. but it could be a good place to find out about new music coming out even if you don't read the reviews
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
Fantano makes pitchfork look like Ebert
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.
GQ, the shitty men's magazine? This sucks
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.
Even musicians in the scenes pitchfork covered who benefited from the coverage hated it
The 20 Portland hipsters that care are absolutely devastated
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.
