Actually it was around 2009 when the the cancer known as poptamism started to take hold. Rap was also given a mega push in yuppie music publications while guitar rock was ignored or thrown in the trash.
All the dude bros that used to listen to korn started listening to skrillex and EDM exploded in popularity and was turned into the garbage music we all know today.

You know, hipsters used to be different, they used to value the obscure, weird, but then something happened, i cant tell what, i almost want to say it was a government psyop, but then the hipster went so far up its ass it became convinced that listening to top 40 pop music (music that is popular with everyone) was subversive. When it actuality it was the embrace of mediocrity and an ideology portrayed as socially liberal that masked the reality that poptamism is just consumer capitalism masked under the guise of some socially liberal bullshit about identity politics and how beyonce is important because she is a le strong black woman™

i'm pretty sure record companies began marketing their albums as pop with "deeper meaning" by giving money to more "hipster" review publications like pitchfork. beyonce's lemonade is a perfect example of an album with no depth trying to cash in disguised as a deep commentary on racism and sexism, it was getting panned on sites like rym until a few reviews came out hailing it as genius, then the score pretty quickly jumped up

I think you're forgetting that literal 12 year olds can shitpost on /mu/ on their phones during class now. The entire site has lost most of the creative force and influence it had 5 years ago
