What happened to them? In the early 2000s they were genuinely an indie website, now they are practically a top 40 website

intelligent

indie stopped being hip and memerap became hip

Williamsburg resident here. Can confirm.

Got acquired by a corporation.

Once that goes down, you're no longer free to do what you want. That's true for both press and artists.

Which has become ALARMINGLY clear in the last 2 years.

legit independent rock hads been very marginalized to almost phased out.

Today's 'Indie rock' is a co-opted facsimile, used for propaganda and social engineering, using the same model Hollywood runs on.

You are generally correct. Being indie became very uncool to the indie crowd; suddenly, it was cool to embrace pop music. Notice how Pitchfork tends to praise music for being accessible.

>Being indie became very uncool to the indie crowd; suddenly, it was cool to embrace pop music
done on purpose

Good deal of 'indie' released in the last 15 years or so 'fake' ie controlled. (including, obviously, Pitchfork)

insecure

>muh white genocide
Back to your containment board, frogposter xD

Kek.... it's true.

And who said anything about 'white genocide'? Freudian slip there?

>implying anyone reads the articles

Gullible.

>done on purpose
This, it's apparent to everyone that poptimism is just a marketing scheme.

>This, it's apparent to everyone that poptimism is just a marketing scheme.
Has nothing to do with marketing or business in general.

More social engineering, propaganda etc.

Garbage (in garbage out)

...

>What happened to them?
aint no mystery here (pic related)

Impressionable.

>Has nothing to do with marketing or business in general.
Marketing is a form of social engineering.

Sup Forumstants

fair enough

How the fuck did Carles get anywhere by writing that horribly? Jesus Christ.

this

Kylie Minogue, Usher, Gwen Stefani, Kanye West, Beyonce, and Britney Spears (she got #3) all made the top 20 for the best songs of 2004.

A LOT of other popular artists like T.I, Alicia Keys and even fucking Rachel Stevens (SHE WAS A MEMBER OF S CLUB 7) made the list.

People have this imaginary idea of what pitchfork used to be, whether it be from not actually reading them during that era or having rose colored glasses. Get a grip

2postironic4u

goyim

did ciara's goodies not make the list? OR 1 2 step? fucking losers can't do anything right.
