Serious question
What gives someone the capability to be a music critic whether it's someone working at Pitchfork/Rolling Stone/NME or someone like Christgau or Fantano?
Is it just their audience? Experience with music? A talent?
I don't subscribe to any critics I just sorta explore music on my own. I've never seen the point in critics
Music criticism should be long dead in the internet age where pretty much anybody can freely access any album they want and form their own opinion on it.
Critics should have the ability to describe the qualities of a piece of music and why or why not they like it. but honestly any shit writer can be employed by these fucks and call themselves a critic.

That's also what I think. When it comes to newer albums I don't really care what critics think because musical taste is so subjective. A dude writing reviews on his tumblr blog or making vids on youtube has just as much credit as a "real" critic, it's just the differences in audiences

Yeah, in the case that I am looking for someone's opinion on an album, I don't really distinguish between a random guy on RYM or an established pitchfork writer or whatever, doesn't change credibility of a review for me.

friend of a friend said she has horrible writers block and just wants to break out in modeling/acting
