BoomBig 301 Posted Tuesday at 03:24 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 03:24 PM I feel like Pitchfork has fully evolved into the kind of establishment it once mocked. What started as an outsider voice challenging old music media now feels like a gatekeeping platform, where critics act culturally superior and decide what music is “worthy” of attention. Pop music is especially dismissed unless it can be framed as ironic, intellectual, or whatever. Putting reviews behind a paywall is the final nail in the coffin. Reviews were Pitchfork’s core contribution and the reason people showed up in the first place. Locking them away doesn’t elevate criticism. It just confirms the elitism. 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ngl this kind of feels like a misread of Pitchfork’s trajectory. If anything, they started out substantially *more* elitist and have warmed up to pop music increasingly over time. This doesn’t reek of gatekeeping to me so much as it signals “they need money” lmao. We have forgotten our public MANNERS 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I was mainly getting at is that Pitchfork was pioneering… not in taste, but in legitimizing online criticism when print media was still the standard. They may be warmer to pop now, but the tone still often feels culturally superior, like they decide what deserves attention. And yeah, on the money side.. agreed lol 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chesescake 4,059 Posted Tuesday at 04:27 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 04:27 PM (edited) If I want to make a review or rate myself, I would probably just use rateyourmusic or AOTY. But I guess pitchfork has wide variety of taste in multi genres. Edited Tuesday at 04:27 PM by Chesescake Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
