This was posted over in EW, and it's a fairly interesting look at the Pitchfork hype-cycle surrounding indie bands. What do you all think?





Does it conclude that Pitchfork is poo poo? Because I really don't need to read 100+ pages to know that.

Every year my top genre is noise pop, my top artists/songs are always hip hop. Which kinda makes sense since i don't listen to as many rappers, but the ones I like I REALLY latch on to.


My song of the decade was Baby I'm Bleeding by JPEGMAFIA, haha.

So many early Modest Mouse fans here and not one appears to give a gently caress about Unwound's bassist dying.

I remember them rating a British sea power album "U.2"

Much funnier than the 8.2 they changed it to.

Twin Shadow released a new album to almost no media or fanfare on Friday. Probably because his last two albums were forgettable as heck. Does anyone still care about him? His debut album is top tier of the 2010s either way.


Small Black has released two albums in the last four years as well and they do not get any attention. It's interesting what fades rapidly. Remember Memory Tapes?


Do you guys have any other examples of these artist you've liked but just kind of disappear? Someone mentioned The Go! Team right? I never got into them beyond hearing some random singles but I remember them being around.

Washed Out lol.

Unwound reunites after 20 years and still loving rips. Saw them in Philly on Thursday.

100 gecs are pop-punk, nu-metal, ska, dubstep, PC Music, trance, and probably several other genres blended and put through an internet translator several times and it’s so goddamn good

Anti-music is I guess a reference to how a lot of it is somewhat satirical and definitely tongue-in-cheek but that definitely applies more to the first album whereas this one feels like they took the actual songwriting side more seriously and actually attempted to make bangers within their style. Either way it’s not “joke music” like I see people characterise it as frequently, there’s clearly a lot of real love and passion there along with the obvious stupid amount of fun they’re having

Its probably just the album cover but i get a bad crystal castles vibe from these guys

Metallica is a way more sophisticated and nuanced band than Muse.

St Anger is probably worse than anything Muse has released. And I'm not a Muse fan.

So, I feel like last year was such a great year for music, probably because a lot of artists worked on albums during the pandemic, and waited to release them until they could support a full tour. As a result, I think this year's been a bit lackluster. I've liked the new albums by Parannoul and Fireworks, but I've found the new albums from M83 and The New Pornographers to be a little boring, and not much else has caught my attention. Boygenius is okay, a little boring. Otherwise, from my perspective, 2023 so far hasn't been that great for music.

Wednesday and Special Interest albums are great.
