The way music criticism functions now is that it's based on what people in this year think is the best stuff. People also just have like really people that read pitchfork love hip hop. That's six albums on the top there. But they also just love what downtrodden, slow, atmospheric bullshit music that vampire weekend makes. Supeon Steven makes, Lord, I guess, makes, Taimin Paula for sure makes, Bonie Vermegs, Radiohead makes, Jesus Christ, they sound the same. It's all depressing white people. Why do you just need to cheer up? Everyone at pitchfork needs to fucking cheer up.
