The latest Julien Baker and Torres record, the list goes on. Pinegrove cast a long shadow on the contemporary music scene. I’m not complaining

Specifically calling out one music critic with HBO credits who writes god-awful long-winded listicles to resounding applause from his ever-diminishing audience of Gen Xers who think music stopped being good in the mid-90s, if not earlier
