    fantano got me into death grips and godspeed you in like ~2013 which definitely had a big impact on my music taste and broadening my horizon ngl

    but yh basically a few years later I discovered rateyourmusic and saw that he's not doing a whole lot more than recite the rym charts to you, throwing in a bunch of typical rym nonsense rhetoric and pretentious babble overstuffed with adjectives

    you can even still see him posting his early youtube reviews on rym lol

    he's literally a cliché rym user in every sense tbh, which isn't all bad, he's pretty open-minded and into a lot of different genres and hungry for interesting new music, but at the same time he's not that imaginative and going below the surface of anything much.

    he's also just straight up a bad writer

    the one thing he was really good at was taking the concept of rating music a number and making it an entertaining format, sticking to that brand. it is crazy that his claim might not even be exaggerated, he might just be the biggest celebrity in the history of music journalism...

    u have a source? as far as I know users impersonating a person or publication get banned very strictly, there used to be a Pitchfork repost account that got deleted too. so tbh I kind of assumed it still being up means he had to prove to mods it was him

    That one is his account but he obviously doesn’t use it anymore.

  • This week of Fantano discourse confirms everything he said.

    Everything about this man disgusts me

    FANTANO LETS HIS NUTS HANG:

    I have been the most relevant and impactful music critic of my — and any — generation for over 10 years now. You can’t really debate that. There’s no music critic bigger than me who’s had more impact than me for as long as I have, consistently. And if I die tomorrow, nobody’s going to outdo that run.


    Anthony Fantano drops his d*** to the floor and swings it in a circle in new Variety interview, following his spat with former artist Halsey.

    Upon reading this, I gripped the arms of my chair and dug my nails in deep. I hated him, but he was right. I hated him because he was right.

    Sound the f*** off in the replies for me yall.
