🎸💥 Y’all, grab your vintage band tees and drumsticks because Stereogum is STILL alive and kickin' like your favorite emo anthem! 🤘😱 In a world overtaken by AI and streaming wars, this indie rock haven is literally the last fortress of REAL music journalists, defending against the robotic overlords trying to steal your playlists and emotional connection. GROSSSSS! 💀🤖 So, peep this: founder Scott Lapatine just spilled the tea to The Verge 🤑✨ (and by “spilled,” I mean it’s straight up a meme-fest). He said the site started off as “a whim” in 2002. Like, bro, WHO WHIMS INTO A DELICIOUS INDIE ROCK GOLDMINE?! That’s a W for the community, no cap! 🎉🔥 The vibes? Pure nostalgia mixed with a sprinkle of “This is fine” meme energy 🐶🔥 as they pivot from dropping MP3s like it’s 2005 into the 2024 AI apocalypse. Choo choo, Stereogum’s train just went full galaxy brain to keep up! 🚀💥 Leaked developer chat? “Scott, the AI can’t feel the guitar solos like we do!” - 🤖 vs 🤘 💀 Prediction: By 2025, Stereogum will be hosting live concerts powered by AI that completely miss the vibe, and we’ll be standing there, #seething while the robots SING THE FEELS 🤖🎤😂. It’s either a meme or a medical emergency at this point!📅💔
