>who decided that indie music wasn't cool anymore?
george soros

The social justice movement. The entire writing staff has tremendous white guilt.

>>71448699
hip hop is indie music tho

>someone actually took the time to count how many songs on some meme list were made by black people
this is ridiculous

Here's a p4k contributor.

This is who the owners of p4k and the editors of p4k see as being one of them.

Do you think their reviews are trustworthy knowing this?

who the fuck is making good indie rock anymore? nobody. it's not cool anymore. real estate? they ruined rock music.

>>71448699
indie was never cool faggot get over it. its always been a corporate news business. they align their taste and politics with what will generate site visits.

at least now they dont cover indie anymore. thats like a food journalist site that only posts about mayonaise and white bread. get some taste faggots

They realized black excellence > white mediocrity.

Fuck drumph.

>>71448810

HOLY SHIT! Whats wrong with that bitch?

Because it draws the most traffic to the site.

>>71448925
Deeply insecure. Just like anyone who is that racist against black people.

>>71449040
Insecurity worsened by a decent percentage of society thinking is completely acceptable

>>71448949
Get the fuck outta here with your reason

Next time make sure to include "cuck" "nu-male" or "redpill" if you want your psot to be taken seriously in bait threads

>>71448949
how is possible if indie music in 2010-2012 was more mainstream than ever.

>that top 3

>>71449070

this is what it is.

>>71448949

Giving inflated reviews to rap albums does not "draw more traffic" to the site than panning them would

>white guys put out a great, thoughtful, varied release with classic tracks on it
>6.8/10

>criminal meme rapper shits out a boring mixtape that will sound dated in 6 months
>8.0/10

>>71448699
they got bought by some corporate suits and started virtue signalling
there has been nothing worthwhile on p4k in several years

>>71448949

No one is complaining that they review meme rap/nu-R&B/"black" pop written by white men

They're mad that they're pretending is represents the highest of musical excellence

>>71449394
fuck trump and fuck white people

>>71449413

Yup.

This is why the p4k nightly threads on here are now completely dead. It's not even fun to follow anymore.

p4k were always antagonizers but at least they had a unique perspective and turned people on to good stuff.

Now their lists/BNMs are bassically no different than any hip-hop websites best of list mixed with shitty r&b

>>71449349
Yes it does. Normies love to have their shit taste validated.

>>71449676

lol @ thinking normies read album reviews

>>71448810
The reviews are made by people like her and (not to be antisemitic) kikes.

>>71448699
Social justice

>>71448699
maybe its that they realized they were racist and priviliedged to disregard music made by minorities? in like 2005 i would bet less than 5% of the things they covered were black artists. that ain't right. maybe instead of saying oh theyre unfairly giving black artists attention you should ask why they were unfairly giving white artists attention. the things they cover now more accurately covers the broad diverse musical spectrum.

>>71449956
>(not to be antisemitic) kikes

yikes

>>71450056
What was the percentage of white artists in The Source and XXL?

>>71450056
Lmao

> Hip Hop is the largest genre of music at the moment
> Why do Pitchfork mostly review only hip hop now

Gee I dunno

>>71448810
Why are South Asians/Arabs actually the worst

Amerifats are so lucky they just got black and mexicans, they're 100% than these pieces of shits, especially muslims. Fucking complain about everything

>everybody develop psychollogical damage and turns on with white guilty.
You want to earn money? Give em what they want

>>71449956
>(not to be antisemitic) kikes

>>71448699
2009 was a terrible year for hip-hop

>>71448810

>Dylann Roof looks like every member of DIIV

okay I laughed

>>71450407
>hip hop is the largest genre of music now

no its not. rock stills sells the most and makes the most money.

>pitchfork reviews mostly hip hop

no they dont

but its the majority of what shows up on their best-of lists and they inflate its scores

>>71448780
yeah, that indie artist Drake is really somehting

>>71450056
nice b8 m8

>>71448699
It's almost like musical trends change over time.

Or something.

>>71450948

Selling doesn't inherently mean popularity.
While Rock may SELL more than Hip Hop, Hip Hop is the MOST streamed genre of music.

>>71448699
holy shit 2015 was a bad year for black people music

>>71448699
>who decided that indie music wasn't cool anymore?
music isn't cool anymore

>>71448699
This list is so embarrassing jesus christ. If they were going to go the "pop rap is valuable too" route they should have at least put Trap Queen in the top 3. There's some horrible cognitive dissonance in the way Pitchfork treats the apparent value of different musical styles.
