Also Mariah Carey is not nearly as popular with Pitchfork's readership base as it with its staff.

Idaho is Sinister, being WA's eastern neighbor. Montana is the Pearl Jam - Vs (?) album cover. Surprised WA wasn't Nevermind or Ten over OK Computer.
Props to NY!

Or maybe not, apologies. Had to check a map. Seems like the top bit is WA, MT, ND, MN, WI, and second row is OR, ID, WY, SD, IA. So ... never mind.
― the body of a spider... (scampering alpaca), Tuesday, 25 October 2022 17:35 (one year ago) link
the point, i think, is: doing the map of the U.S. that way is beyond ridiculous, and no visual professional should've OK'd that. in this writer-not-visual-professional's opinion.
i haven't clicked through ... i assume that was really on the P4k site and the post up there wasn't a joke, right?

Yeah, though on the site you can hover over each hexagon to see which state it is.

I just thought it was funny how... non-diverse their data set obv is, and how little is revealed by slicing it up geographically.

lol i was just crossposting this
striking thing to me is that messing with all the age ranges/gender/etc the changes aren't really that big, obv some things change but overall most drawn from a small handful of albums

Did not expect readers of over the age of 65 to be really into Trip Hop.
They would have been 34+ in 1991... I wouldn't expect it off the top of my head but given that context I get it. Going to a 10-years out of date fern bar and trying to pick up a fellow divorced person while the stereo plays Massive Attack... that's just nature taking its course.

I used to know an old bloke who was hugely into massive attack. he turned out to be a creep around women 1/3 his age so hopefully not representative

pitchfork should should do a focus group where they ask their readers to rate their ratings. how does a 6.5 rating make you feel? ...about a...seven. a 7.2ok, how about a 7.4 rating5 point.....five.8.2?8.4.8.4?8.2.how about a 10?9.2.

Wasn't going to mention it before but
Fashion Nugget is like an oversized diner menu. There is something for most people: mariachi, jazz, tango, funk, country—none of which were cool at the time. Nor was stewing disparate genres in the same pot.
I'd say alt-rock acts making a point of "stewing disparate genres in the same pot" is very mid-90s

Cake the absolute worst band, could understand wanting to reassess but there’s not much there except whitened dog turd

Motorcade of Generosity >>> Fashion Nugget, but Cake are underrated in either case.

Okay, I'll take it back— Cake were great musically. The vocals and lyrics were and remain cringe.

Black artists—like dubwise hardcore pioneers Bad Brains or ska-punk eccentrics Fishbone—the walls were closing in from both sides, as they were shut out from both the white world of rock radio and the Black mainstream star-making apparatus that favored slick R&B balladeers, synth-funk loverboys, and fashionable rappers.
