Why did Pitchfork stop peddling the hipster garbage that I love and start peddling actual garbage?

Money.

be honest OP, you formed opinions about all of those albums based on the presence of women on the cover artwork

I already know I'm not a fan of Charli XCX or Bork as I've listened to them in the past. I know CupcakKe's bit is just being a hypersexual meme so I would expect her music to be the same. I'm a fan of Fever Ray so a little disingenuous to call her garbage. The last one just looks like the same generic as hell pop/r&b they've been pushing.

only decent one there is fever ray

women

Basically they became so contrarian that they managed to justify ironically suckling from corporate titty, which soon became unironic corporate dicksucking.

in a nutshell this

just like what happened with sam hyde, the post-irony became new sincerity.

gotta get dat payola

That glorified porn star makes music too?

because squirrelly white dudes with glasses love writing about women of color and hip hop

Yes goy yes, it's progress!

Utopia is really good, this is why you shouldn't listen to critics unless you're just musically illiterate or new to a genre.

Wait

Fever Ray actually put out another record?

>mfw they condemn homophobic lyrics from white artists but give best new music to nigger rap that blasts faggots all day

What album did they condemn?

*SCREAMS EXTERNALLY*

The hipster garbage you loved is actual garbage too

They are still a major music publication and have to take on new staff to replace old staff. Thus, opinions change and they have to try to attempt to ride the wave of current trends in order to not look dated and still remain relevant. Class dismissed

they now appeal to top 40 and ironic poptimists instead of indie kids tho

WHO are these people they're trying to appeal to though?

but they just panned the best poptimist record in years

teenagers
urbanites
progressives

All people that love the hipster garbage Pitchfork no longer shills

progressives and yuppies are into ironic poptimism and "woke" rap now

indie hipster garbage is too white, too bourgeoise

The rockist takes solace in the fact they believe that the popular artists of today will be forgotten and laughed at in the future. They believe the 'fad' at the moment will soon be disregarded for a new piece of pop furniture. The rockist takes solace in the fact that the music they love and cherish will always be remembered and loved by many, even after they're dead. But what the rockist dislikes isn't the perceived lack of talent or skill, nor the artists themselves. The rockists are, quite simply, jealous. Jealous that genius artists like Kanye West and Young Thug operate on an entirely different intellectual level to the rockist. The rockist values their albums, but Young Thug is capable of making a great piece of art every week, and does not feel the need to place many of said songs in an outdated album. The rockist is also unable to think in terms of new technology, seeing DAWs (digital audio workstations) as a lack of skill and insulting to the revered guitar. They despise musical visionaries like Grimes, who are capable of writing entire albums just by herself, again, another skill a rockist is unable to pick up or learn due to their own ignorance. The fact Grimes is female also leaves a bad taste in the mouths of rockists, who are generally male, heterosexual, and listen to so called 'masculine' musicians. What the rockists hates, you see, isn't the music, but knowing the fact that they'll never be successful. They can have a $1000 guitar and $3000 amp set up with a premium 1966 Gibson Les Paul, they may even be able to do a 'sick' solo. But they know, deep down, it's irrelevant. No one wants to listen to butt rock or dad rock anymore. Rockists are jealous at others success, because while Young Thug is making an amazing, thought-provoking piece every week, the rockist is stuck in their room, unable to write a single song due to their lack of songwriting skills.

How many of these people do you interact with on a regular basis?

poptimist is an ugly term, it's like hoping someone will reinvent the wheel. p4k was able to establish itself in a limited internet era. now that everyone has access it's become old news and they are shilling hard to the masses. basically frankensteins monster

It was the biggest disappointment of my life so far.
Don't waste your bandwidth. It'll only make you mad.

>Fever Ray
>Bad

so basically to get bnm in 2018 you have to be some kind of demented freak or black?
