I consider myself pretty left and stuff like this is just such nonsense idpol division shit, cynical takes to make money and drive engagement. Pitchfork is such a meme music “””journalism””” website
This bastardisation of US IDpol needs to be rejected vehemently by future leftists. This era will not be looked back on fondly and will be seen as a point the left stopped being “the left”. Race bait politics should be flushed down the toilet along with lying conservatardism
based and leftpilled
sometimes i hate libs more than cuckservatives, at least the latter are outwardly easy to see as fucking moronic and delusional. libs are craven and cynical
This. It’s all fueled by resentment. Postcolonial studies has only hurt the left even more.
>inb4 postmodern neomarxism
The postmodernists wouldn’t stand for this shit. Baudrillard would think that this race baiting only benefits the procurement of capital. Deleuze wants to “break away from these representations”.
I'm a fascist and I've read most of the bigwig postmodernists, and the phenomenologists too. It's the only reasonable conclusion you can have, unless you want to go the way of Deleuze.
This. Pitchfork is such a shitshow and I never got why it was so respected here by mindless idiots back in the day. The Pitchfork hype threads were cringe as fuck.
I started reading Pitchfork back in 2002 when it already had the reputation as the indie tastemaker, and although back then its contributors had hugely inflated egos and pretentious tendencies, it was still the best place on the net to find out about new music. Now it's just one of many similar sites and these days P4k ratings carry nowhere near as much weight as they used to, good or bad.
I'd say it's still got the best writing in record reviews. Yes, they have tedious hipster takes on everything, every review of a record by a black artist is 90% the reviewer demonstrating how much zhe deplores racism, etc. But that's pretty much the only kind of opinion you can express now, about music or anything.
>best writing
The Pitchfork writing style (to the extent there is one) is awful. Read the first few paragraphs of this book by T S Eliot to understand why (the first essay).

It actually explains very well why the Pitchfork style is bankrupt as criticism and why someone like Scaruffi's is much better.
Imagine complaining about the unbearable blackness of Afrobeats.
It’s just an entirely needless criticism based on identity. A better criticism could be how lazy the genre can be but the writer clearly is a hack here
This kind of white people read the article and instead of diversifying Indie, they dropped it, pretended they were never into it, and invaded other genres only to make them unbearably white.
bloc party first two albums were good but I like indie regardless of what race made it. The problem is pitchfork promoted some of the worst indie of all time and then had the gall to say "why is indie so BADDDDD" after it became profitable for them to become poptimist shills.
Fuck Pitchfork

I hate that term, Marxism and postmodernism are not compatible, I know that and I went to college for 0.4 semesters
ABLEIST BIGOT

the recent review of Hella's Hold Your Horse Is reissue is brilliant, loved it.

This. Indie isn't properly "white" anyway. It's basically an extension of the hippie thing who were racial egalitarians.
They're trying to rile people up. Most normal people don't think like this, people are a lot more moderate than what you see online
Can you stop making this thread please?
why is your nose so big and hooked, op

It's a bit faggy innit?
Early 2000s was a great era for indie but it’s since been watered down.
unironically it's this and this
Music communicates the personality of the musician. Indie is made by dweebs. No one likes dweebs.
Knowing that everyone involved in "indie" has a trust fund and uses familial wealth to cosplay as tortured artists.
Wypipo dun season dey music

It's actually one of the most bear inclusive genres out there
>Panda Bear
>Grizzly Bear
...I can't think of anymore
Bear is a song by The Antlers
keked and checked
where is the bear anon
underrated
Minus The Bear ...

>being so sensitive that you bring up an article from 2015 to relive your victimization
do yt people really
It deserves to be roasted just as hard in 2025. Hell, make it 2035.
And if you don't like it? You can rope yourself.
blacks bring up shit that happened to them in 1915
Yes, the brutal history of slavery and oppression is equivalent to a writer saying indie is too white. You figured it out
Last I heard, slavery was abolished in 1865
yes thats why russia's still complaining about napoleon and hungary and poland are still whining about the mongols
get fucking real
The Unbearable Whiteness of Atmospheric Suicidal Black Metal
trust fund chords
but black indie like bloc party and tv on the radio also sucked
indie was just gay hipster music with no balls thats why it sucked not because of race
bloc party first two albums were good but I like indie regardless of what race made it. The problem is pitchfork promoted some of the worst indie of all time and then had the gall to say "why is indie so BADDDDD" after it became profitable for them to become poptimist shills.
Fuck Pitchfork

Like fucking pottery
It's not that it's white. More often than not it's the most pretentious and untalented music I've ever heard. It's the dadaism of music.
the trustfunds
that's an antisemetic trope
Imagine how much better indie music would be if they accepted just a little cultural enrichment
