Imagine breaking into this guy's house in the middle of the day and smashing all his gay cds and records with a crowbar right in front of his stupid fucking face. He wouldn't dare do anything about it, he'd just cry as you sent shards of israeliteel case and vinyl flying across his little hovel of a room. You could run around his room in circles, screaming like a maniac, tearing up Kendrick Lamar, Earl Sweatshirt and Death Grips posters and shirts into confetti before the eyes of this horrible sack of shit. After everything in the room had been reduced to debris, you could take the crowbar to the man himself and break his both his arms and legs.

i used to watch fantano's vids every day after school in like 2015 or so. since then i've really especially come to hate what his fanbase has become
i hate how much people give value to his opinions and quote them. the MBDTF 6/10 meme is the most tired shit ever. and his reviewing style just seems to be "this is what's happening in the music".
to add, i still do like watching him talk about albums i personally really like or dislike though. not that his opinion would shift mine either way really.
>I don't "watch" reviews. I read writing. When I'm at the computer I almost never click on links to podcasts or televised news much less criticism, for two reasons--first, reading is faster than listening, and second, I'm continually using my ears to listen to music. Moreover, no one I know "discusses" Anthony Fantano, a name I barely recognized. Glancing over his Wikipedia entry he seems to have arrived at a plausible brand of 21st-century rockcrit taste that runs toward what I'll call dark prog--the godfathering Swans, this year's number one Daughters, on the rap end his beloved Death Grips. But clearly he's broader than that. Little apparent interest in the pop end or indeed tune or indeed fun, however--always a tragic and psychologically revealing lacuna. Nowhere near as insensible to hip-hop/r&b as dark proggers tend to be, but note that very few female artists crack his top 10s, which in 2018 was really missing the action. Fantano seems to have figured out a way to make some kind of living by disseminating his own criticism in the online age. That's an achievement. But until he starts putting it in written language, I'll live without.
I only agree with you because I strongly believe that he’s intentionally become a charicature with ingenuine opinions on current music to continue making a living through his youtube channel.
He’s been on the scene for a long time and I give him respect for that but at the same time I can’t shake the feeling that he’s put on a mask in recent years and never takes it off.
He's a dumbfuck
Has he ever even picked up an instrument?
People around here like to snipe at Rick Beato but at least he can break songs down, play through the parts and tell you what he likes about them
He has a death metal rec video that pisses me off. Not because of the recs, which are fine, but because he obviously doesn't know anything about the music. He uses the phrase "meat and potatoes death metal" at least ten times in that video. Fucking idiot.
I don't care about his rap reviews because I don't listen to rap. I was just happy he turned on Code Orange after wearing their shirts for all these years and supporting them because the Above was mostly a backwards looking, dumbass festival hard rock album when their stuff before it was mostly forward looking and increasing complex which had culminated in Underneath. They deserved to get savaged by him for blatantly trying to go mainstream and they deserved their album sales to decline by half like they did.
He hasn't reviewed Oasis outside of vaguely saying that they were good.
Either he's scared of being attacked by other music pseudos for rating them highly or being called a snob for disliking them.
Since he doesn't care if people call him a snob I can only assume it's the former.
>This may be hard to hear >Since you don't know how to be sincere >Like you really care about what people think >And so that's why you lipsync >All the talking points and trendy buzzwords
It's dehumanizing. It's so absurd
That you think that anyone cares cos nobody cares
About your politics, your taste in music > Your regurgitative takes on anything >the clothes you wear, the food you eat >Will you shut the fuck up, it means nothing to me.
Still no one said it better
oh I do, I value all of the critics' opinions because I don't have ears and can't listen to music myself. And I don't have a brain and can't think for myself. So I have to parrot whatever the critics say is music, and I must believe them.
Fantano saved me from a bad relationship. I tried to show a love interest his review about some Porter Robinson album and her mood got really sour and defensive; turned out she was a slut with a history of cheating. I pulled out of that and fucked her friend consequence free so fast, and it's all because this balding Italian music guy on youtube commented that Porter "deviated from the mainstream dubstep wave at the time" or it was a "sophmoric effort at anime-style bleep-bloop vocals" or some shit. stupid bitch
imagine if instead of going back and sucking off that one kanye album, he doubled down and said it sucked and that furthermore in like 15 years kanye will praise hitler on a popular podcast and absolutely fucking destroy his image and the confidence of thousands of spoiled rotten homosexual children wearing his overpriced clothing
>snobby
This guy gives good reviews to bottom tier, idiotic trash constantly. I don't value his or anyone else's opinions really, but 'snobby' doesn't apply.
he's actually the opposite though. he constantly gives mainstream hip hop or pop records pretty high scores. he could benefit from eschewing the poptimism
>disliking fantano for being "snobby"
kek, if that's why you hate this homosexual then your taste is probably irredeemably bad
If anything, he is nowhere near enough of a snob
I haven't watched any of his videos, I maybe saw one years and years ago but then again I don't remember. I can just look at him and tell I don't like him or his videos. also if I wanted a music review I'd prefer to read it
That looks like the type of person to give TPAB a 10
Top fucking kek
This might be the first time I ever actually found one of these memes funny

i'm actually shaking rn i can't believe you would call them gay
>Shake my hand.
What do you do in this situation?

Christgau is a homosexual too.
But is he wrong?
That really made me appreciate fantano for not being this much of a homosexual
Fantano is /ourguy/, if you don't like him fucking go back.
HE CUTE
which video is this from?
king of limbs iirc
>snobby
he's milquetoast as fuck with the occasional "controversial" review
scaruffi is our guy
go back to 2011 LULZ, before melon turned into an absolute cuck
he was before the fader hit piece, nowadays he wants nothing to do with LULZ
This. All the haters are election or pandemic tourists.
He’s cuter than Taylor Swift

The Millennial Lid
if i ask my barber for the millennial lid he will kno what i’m talking about?
only if you're at least 2.5 on the Norwood scale
What makes you not snobbish?
He has a fire hairstyle tho
I thought this would be a pretty popular opinion is it not? Never liked this dude
(New to board and on mobile so sorry if im retarded)

Great, I guess we can stop having daily threads on him

this guy has no edge to him at all
no edge - no personality
i don't know what's snobby about being an npc
I haven't watched any of his videos, I maybe saw one years and years ago but then again I don't remember. I can just look at him and tell I don't like him or his videos. also if I wanted a music review I'd prefer to read it
You could call him snobby 10 years ago, these days he's just a poptimist
