Oh my god your personal EOY list is not meant to be about 'big cultural moments'. Of course it's fun to get yr pop culture thinkpieces on when someone gets as massive as lady gaga, and even better if the artists i find interesting are the ones people are talking about, but isn't it just massively LIFE-SAPPING to permanently have to be thinking about boring shit like mac miller just because other people tell you that you should? deciding what to talk about, where to bestow your conversation, is a political act, and i absolutely refuse to let a hivemind propel me in that.

if we want to talk about my responsibility as a journalist, i consider it my professional duty to look beyond those voices, to unearth or boost artists who may be getting overlooked because of the inherent biases in the structure of the industry.

Look the music crit conversation, and the music industry generally, is driven by very specific voices, which means that certain values are inherently privileged when it comes to deciding what gets talked about (and this conversation, this buzz, affords artists really valuable publicity even if it's not a direct stamp of approval).
