What exactly is "WIRE" and I why do I keep seeing

>>69983817
A new "literally who" webblog/ezine that covers nothing but absolute dogshit Top 40 pop and rap and flavor of the month written by some nobody trying to make it the next Pitchfork. Since nobody visits his shitty site, this faggot is trying to viral his website.

Bait list.

It's a music magazine started in the 80's focusing on experiment/avant-garde type music. It started out mostly jazz and then branched out to all genres. People are spamming it here because they've been reviewing shitty mainstream music lately and no longer what it used to be.

That list is fake. If you actually pick up a copy of the magazine, it's covering roughly the same stuff as it's been for the past 15 - 20 years.

>>69983947
So they're a bunch of elitists and poseurs who think they're "too above" anything remotely mainstream/Top 40 or featuring PoC/womyn and whose subscriber base is old, white men who jerk off to obscure Lithuanian post-melodic drone-core released only on 25 gold painted cassette tapes.

>>69984088
No they just cover different types of music. Do you bitch that rap magazines aren't reviewing country albums because they're too elitist to listen to country?

>>69984169
Why not? I can assure you Young Thug and Solange made far more interesting and important music this than any old white noodling with a synth and strumming a note on a guitar run through a bunch of effects pedals.

are you trying to meme /mu/ into reading The Wire [via reverse psychology]?

i started greentexting all the ones that made me cringe until i realized almost every album on this list is shit

>>69984270
it's a fake list meant to trigger people

>>69984270
It's a fake list m'boy

Funny thing is most of /mu/ has probably never even heard of the wire much less read one of their issues so they've been falling hard for the bait. That's why it keeps getting spammed, because /mu/ is SO ignorant somebody new buys into this shit every time.

/mu/ has managed to become even worse the last two weeks

>>69984361
how so?

>>69984088
they had Boris and Silver Apples recently on their covers. it's not that intense

>>69984371
most threads are so fucking terrible that even shiposting on them has become a unfunny

>>69984371
Every goddamn thread is ASATT /pol/-tier garbage.
All of them.
I made a fucking thread about Thievery Corporation and it turned into a bunch of retards screeching cuck.

>>69984450
link to that thread?

i want a laugh

>>69984450
/mu/'s been pretty shit for a while now. I don't know why I still come back here. Even the generals I usually frequent/lurk in have become incredible shit or disappeared from the board entirely over the past year. I usually just search the archive for links or posts related to artists/genres/albums I've been into lately.

/pol/ has been infesting a lot of boards recently. /lit/ has been pretty bad. Way too many "BLACKED" and Pepe OP images and threads that are either Sam Hyde/Million Dollar Extreme jerkoffs or basically say "How come niggers are illiterate" or "Conservative literature only, reddit libcuck fags kys"

>>69984441
yeah this. it's fucked up

>>69984535
all this cuck bullshit is swallowing the fucking internet

>>69984571
It really is. And on the left, you have this sort of kneejerk SJW witch-hunt type reactions which essentially discredit anyone who has a slight deviation in belief without engaging in any sort of discussion or discourse.

And of course all this nonsense is just more fuel to the fire for them.
