"Why EDM died"

Here is a cool Pitchfork story for you.

I met this guy who is a friend of a friend at a bar one night. He is a senior writer / review for Pitchfork or something, he was awkward as fuck, like we talking spectrum. I tried to make conversation with him and asked if he wanted to talk about music. He bluntly replied "no" like I was gutter trash. So I was like fuck this cunt and had a cigarette. Made no effort to talk to him anymore. 

Not that I liked Pitchfork prior to this, but any notion that Pitchfork is full of pretentious assholes was fully supported by this interaction.

SO yeah fuck Pitchfork.

That's like asking a burger flipper if they want to eat at McDonald's.

I really don't think you're gutter trash. None of what I said in this thread was to be taken seriously.

How can anything in a thread about edm be taken seriously?

Ive been a fan of dance music since the 90's, everything from classic trance and jungle, went onto the dubstep bandwagon for a while but the sound died fast. As for EDM it's more alive than ever on the radio with every other track having a popstar and a drop derivative of typical arena house. There's a lot more trap and tropical house, it seems. Rumours are that nu-bass or bass house will infect the mainstream shortly, which is pretty much rehashed UK garage. There's also a sub genre with jazzy chords and footworky beats that's blowing up on SC, I forgot what it's called. As an aside i think its astounding how Jungle is surprisingly healthy for being so long lived.

well that's simply because jungle is [/i]THE SHIT

As someone stuck working in Edmonton for the next couple months I can confirm your comparison is                                        incorrect!

Also the oilers blow.

I know a guy who writes for pfork. More of an acquaintance TBH (friend of friend) but I've met him IRL. Like most he's freelance and knows a niche genre well, in this case he's a big metalhead. True story, he was told to edit out the beginning of a review for a disappointingly dull sludge metal album he was tasked with. He started off the review confessing that about a 1/3 through listening for the first time he got bored and turned on the newest Riff Raff album instead. He was completely honest but they didn't want him to include that. He tweeted it instead. Had it been late 90s thru mid-00s pitchfork they wouldn't have interfered.

Most writers for these sites are decent folks but personally I think the site as a whole, and their editors at the helm, has jumped shark long, long ago. It's a PR outlet and big inide / "cool mainstream" multimedia site. Fade and FACT are just as bad, in fact I'd argue FACT is way douchier and superficial than pitchfork. I like sites like Quietus, Tiny Mixtapes, RA, and Consequence of Sound a lot more.

I kid. I don't have any qualms with Pitchfork. In fact, have found quite a few good albums through them.
