yeah it really seems like they made that with minimal effort

Jesus fucking Christ man Pitchfork has gone to shit.
They try so hard to be trendy and black and woke that it just... poisons the whole past I have with them. WHo here hasn't gotten something from the pitchfork that was? Now I don;t even know man.

>Only thing better about Preoccupations as a band name than Viet Cong is that it’s not racist

>Frank Ocean only released two albums

I mean, that's not on Buckethead or Zappa level but that's still a decent amount.

The two things there I strongly disagree with:

>Taylor Swift apparently had better things to do than endorse Hillary
The best thing she did was keep her politics to herself, essentially eliminating any bias. I like her more for that.

>Rihanna’s Tame Impala cover
I prefer her voice to kevin parker's on that production. Her rendition was an unpretentious, beautifully sung homage

it was a bad year for hipsters.

that's how you know it was a great year for everyone else!

>Taylor Swift apparently had better things to do than endorse Hillary

Nigga you cannot be serious.

rememer when pitchfork was about indie music

Man, I thought that memes of the year list was bad.

Am I gonna see this thread every hour on the hour

I member

No sometimes it'll be off the hour too

Tame Impala goes in the 13 year old trashbin, reddit

This is the face of the final word on racism folks

>The Chainsmokers
got a laugh out of me. But for the most part the list is garbage

>Only thing better about Preoccupations as a band name than Viet Cong is that it’s not racist
fuck these stupid niggers

>WHo here hasn't gotten something from the pitchfork that was?
iktfb

i'm still making discoveries from old P4K lists from like 2001, stuff that gets virtually no discussion today. so much good music from the "landfill" age of indie falls through the cracks

When the hell did pitchfork become Buzzfeed?

lmao will laren

>Beyoncé still married to Jay Z
>Taylor Swift apparently had better things to do than endorse Hillary
>Always wanna read it A Moon Shaped Poop
>Only thing better about Preoccupations as a band name than Viet Cong is that it’s not racist

This is painful. I wish I had never read this. Holy shit.

tfw pitchfork is now the budget new yorker

Yeah I liked that cover too, what's the deal?

>reading p4k after the conde nast acquisition
>reading p4k after the "unbearable whiteness" article
>reading p4k after 2012
>reading p4k ever
But, why?

Their top 100s albums of the 70s, 80s and 90s have essentially formed the basis for my music tastes since I'm 15.
The only good thing they have done since they have been acquired by Conde Nast is that top 100 ambient albums of all-times, but p4k has totally succumbed to poptimism and identity-politics a few years ago already.

not even close to insightful fag

>expect a list of disappointing releases
>it's just a bunch of shitty black twitter memes

All in all, not music related, fuck off

weird comma, dude

>Their top 100s albums of the 70s, 80s and 90s have essentially formed the basis for my music tastes since I'm 15.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH
pathetic
stop whining you are just as bad as p4k
stop being a drone faggot

In 2003, when the US invaded Iraq, Lars Ulrich was asked his opinion in a radio show. He answered something like" I'm a fucking drummer in a rock band? Why does my opinion matters?"

This is seriously the worst thing their worst article since the Unbearable Whiteness of Indie

I view pitchfork as a less fun and slightly more topically focused version of buzzfeed

They're trying to play HIPSTER RUNOFF

this one annoyed me

her politics are nobody's business. i can think of a lot of things that are a better use of time than endorsing hillary fucking clinton.

HOLY

FUCK

THIS IS TOO MUCH CANCER
