This is an excellent question
How and when did /mu/ start it's obsession with Scaruffi? It seems really random. I can understand how memeing fantano and p4k started, but I don't get it for ol' piero
Fuck off summerfags.

It's a well known occurrence and easy to tell how new you are.

Browsing for like 3 or 4 years. He was already huge when I started and I'v never seen discussion about how it started. You shouldn't feel proud about wasting time on this website anyway

His website is actually very well made and the chalky aesthetic is intended.

My guess is that his website was used by lots of people before /mu/ and then some of those people came here. Or maybe just a few guys who were fans shared his massive writings with other people here and it spread that way. There's definitely something about Piero Scaruffi's writings about rock music, but I am not sure of what it is. All of the albums he likes are good also.

The answer is pretty obvious
I used to post in the DigitalDreamDoor forum back in 2007-2008 and they all had the same exact taste in music as /mu/, all of the /mu/core, they also discussed Scaruffi a lot, but I don't recall being any mentions of /mu/ there, and I browsed every day, they only mentioned RYM a lot and they worshipped P4k
I've only been posting on /mu/ since 2012, but from what I've heard, back in 2008 /mu/ only listened to Metal and Prog, so I guess it's really RYM users who took over /mu/, or simply p4k readers

He's just a meme man that makes hilariously bad reviews
Like his taste in music is like french/pop/dance shit
He is no different than what jontron, dsp, and angry Joe are to /v/
