>>73494452

>>73494499
>top 40 pop rap
what?

>>73494499
top 40 pop rap is try hard shit because you're trying hard not to look pretentious, but would probaly shit on other popular stuff like bro country.

So fucking sad!

Sometimes pick up a copy for the reviews. They often cover some good, interesting releases - but a lot of it just doesn't excite me personally. There's no real rhyme or reason to what they cover, so it can be a little too eclectic for my tastes at times, personally. It's still one of the very few decent printed music mags in the UK.

shilling starting up again for the summer?

>>73494749

lmao why are there always a few sweaty poptimists in these threads

>>73494872

>Wire
>not poptimist as fuck
Keep paying for Aurora's opinions retards

The Wire hasn't been worth reading since like 2010, and even then it had its issues with dilettantism and at times shockingly surface-level/downright uninformed writing.

I flip through the new issues every once in a while since a buddy of mine is a subscriber(the dumb fuck!), and every issue that I check out seems to be even more trend-conscious and Tinymixtapes-esque than the last. It's very sad.

>>73494899
The Wire has been pandering to poptimists and college progressives for years now in the hopes that it's gonna help their dwindling subscription numbers. I hope it's not helping.

>>73494978
You're telling me it's just a coincidence that this no-name webblog just so happens to be spammed on /mu/ and it's not the creator trying to shill it? Bullshit. I've never even heard of "Wire" before a few days ago on /mu/ but they seem to be a new wannabe-Pitchfork and their taste in music is awful.

but theyre not new you fucking retard

>>73495097
Can you go into more details? I've never read this shit before but I'm intrigued now.

>>73495322
Whatever. They're still a half-poptimist, half-entry level underground wannabe rag. Even Pitchfork is better than this garbage poseur SJW pop/hip-hop dickriding bullshit.

>>73495362
it was much better than pitchfork until a few years ago

>>73495398
Liberals ruin everything

>>73495430

>>73495444

quelling all dissenting opinions
journalism is codeword for free speech genocide

>>73495465

Why the fuck this shit named after a crappy libtard HBO series
