I’m really fucking glad I checked the comments because I wasn’t aware anyone outside of the circlejerk that is Pitchfork and its advertisers actually cared about Pitchfork. “Esteemed alternative publication” seems like a huge stretch. My background is heavy shit and Midwest DIY so maybe it just never caught on in those scenes and there are scenes where Pitchfork was more than punchline.
