Journalism at least can provide factual, objective information sometimes. Music criticism is all subjective opinion. Even if you think a technique isn't used well, someone else still liked it. It's all subjective
Subjective or not it should still be able to be criticized and if people dislike what’s said just disagree and move on
I would go all the way back to Descartes notion of ‘I think therefore I am’ tbh
We exist because we doubt it, same way art is art because we critique it. If theres nothing to critique, is it really still art?
i love s*** like this
i'm gonna sit with this...
discussing and thinking about music makes us like it more

i think it's different when it comes from a publication though
like, what is their end goal?
i have no problems with fans or regular people saying how they feel
People want to feel superior over someone else because of their opinion so they desperately seek out others that agree with them to try and add credence to what they think about a subjective art
discussing and thinking about music makes us like it more
but does discussion or thought need to involve criticism?

Their end goal is money 😭
And some people seek out music opinions from people they respect that also might work for said publication
Fantano made a career off people liking or disliking his critiques
Same reason we criticize food, clothes, women, men, and everything. Dumb question.
Theres a difference between criticism and hating. Half the ktt threads about drake eminem j cole old music, new music, and "hood rappers" is not criticism. It's jjust hating
It's entertainment bruh
Exactly
i mean its a pretty natural thing to do and is present in almost anything you can have an opinion on
even without the journalism aspect you have people every day having discussions about why they liked or didn't like something and making critiques about it. Critics just do the same but to an audience. Just another opinion at the end of the day
It's entertainment bruh
i feel that
but we gotta start holding
these people accountable
Mac Miller's review from
Pitchfork sent him down a spiral
i'm not saying they caused his death
but i'm sure they would go back
and never do that review if they could

but you can see the
danger in having critics

criticism - the expression of disapproval of someone on the basis of perceived faults
that's hating right there
