    A late step even

    One of the first big steps was probably Leonard Bernstein praising the Beatles, Kinks, Zappa, Tim Buckley, Rolling Stones in the 60s. However, I definitely think that this decade has seen a turn to an even more dominant form of poptimism. Popular rock and therefore rockism basically passed away.

    one of the worst moments in music journalism. The album ain't bad but it was the final victory for poptimism to reign and just ignore artists who are not easily accessible and a bit more obscure and would actually benefit from more exposure.

    basically the Margaret Thatcher of music journalism ideologies.

    emotion was an amazing once in a generation album. stop

    tbh I would really love a longer discussion about poptimism (Culture industry being prasied by critics) but I really don't know where that would fit.

    Not to disregard pop in general. I like pop music too.

    That's true, and Im sure the rise of the internet factors into that a decent bit as well too

    Also, remember when Robyn dropped Body Talk five years before the "once in a generation album" Emotion?

    you know no one has even thought about J Paul since 2013 right?? meanwhile, Lil B has gotten nods from/collabed with Kendrick, Lil Uzi Vert, Lil Peep, E-40, Skepta, Clams Casino, Danny Brown, Vince Staples, Chance the Rapper, YNW Melly, ASAP Rocky, Mac Miller, Metro Boomin, Chief Keef, Lil Yachty, Tay Keith AND MANY MORE.

    so tell me more about how Lil B doesn’t belong in 2020??? f***ing idiot

    what kind of s*** is this

    you guys are acting like pop wasn't acknowledged or respected before carly lmao

    “Dance” music was never respected by critics, but I think it was made without critics in mind. That’s why Aphex was called “Intelligent” Dance Music.
