Can't believe The Needle Drop is being absorbed into Good Housekeeping magazine

as much as we love to shit on pitchfork, this is sad news. they paved the way and still continue to shed light on lesser known artists that i’ve still found myself to love

Seems like a ripe opportunity to expand TND into written reviews, or feature the written reviews of trusted people in the music review sphere

Never forget Pitchfork gave music a 6.8 and said it was too derivative of Pavement

There was a great quote I saw this morning:
"You won't see Taylor Swift talking about this. However, the emo band with 5000 followers on Twitter is sad about this". Indie bands and underrepresented artists will suffer from this :(

It’s becoming increasingly difficult to discover new smaller indie artists as bandcamp and pitchfork are being dismantled

I'm so sick of corporations ruining everything I like.

Thanks for sticking up for “the written word” here. You could have used P4K’s demise to prop yourself up as the next form of music press, but keeping it humble and keeping our broader music ecosystem in mind serves to hopefully bridge this video-watching audience into consuming great writing by the pros. I’m dismayed by the current flattening of our culture but at the same time hope this mass-extinction event (amoeba, bandcamp, etc etc etc) gives way to a rebirth in the next gen of writers and reporters giving incisive voices to a great shared conversation.

Thank you for mentioning the fact that YouTubers/influencers often use articles as a point of research. As a local journalist in print/digital media it can be frustrating to see people say that they 'don't consume news' when they do - it's just filtered through an influencer

As a baby boomer that grew up with every publication under the sun doing music reviews, it really sad that so few writers remain. Really good albums can drop these days with no real reviews. It’s not a question of whether outlet X or Y did it well, it’s that there are so few voices. With the recent changes in YouTube I fear that we will lose even more creators. Short form media has its place but sometimes we need a more thorough treatment.

pitchfork redux review in 5 years: 0/10

Pitchfork died when it was sold to Conde Nast, something like this was inevitable from that point on

There can be criticism of digital media not having a solid way of generating revenue, but there's a bigger criticism to be made towards publicly traded companies running any sort of digital media.

The amount of people online celebrating corporate layoffs and the gutting of indie music outlets because a website gave their favorite artist a mean number once is truly sickening.

Hate to say this, but Pitchfork gradually giving into poptimism and focusing more on mainstream music vs indie/alternative is likely a big reason for its downfall. Just seeing its latest 90’s list where they changed the best song of the 90’s from Pavement to Mariah Carey, it shows how much they’ve strayed from the base that built them. And I’m not a pop music hater by any means, I just liked that Pitchfork was more focused on less well known artists, and they helped me find a lot of great indie artists back in the day.

This makes me so sad. I discovered Björk (the musical love of my live) through their review of Homogenic. That little article literally changed my live and the way I listen to music forever. This is an incredible loss to all music nerds out there :(

That is a damn shame. While I didn't always agree with what Pitchfork had to say was "best new music" I appreciated the diversity they offered and found tons of great new bands through their coverage. RIP if this is truly the end.

I've been a regular P4k reader for 20 years, and while I think they had some ups and downs over the years, I was impressed with how the site was still going and still publishing well-written and thoughtful reviews all the time. Even their podcast was a fun thing to listen to. Great that I get to live through the death of every kind of journalism.

The end of an era. I remember checking the reviews every morning for years of rotations, passes through comets' paths, and to my memory I had never witnessed burning debris scratch across the night sky.
Radiohead were bent over their instruments.

"I heard of a good indie album on GQ, I'll head over to Epic Games to stream it", what a time to be alive.
