Pitchfork Effect

Share definition
Indie kids around the world flock to buy and/or download the latest high ranking reviewed album published by the quintessential yet slightly biased indie music site, Pitchforkmedia.com.
Generic Indie Kid #1: (As he laces up his pre-worn converses)
"OMG Pitchfork has just reviewed the new Times New Viking!"

Generic Indie Kid #2: "Shit! Seriously?! That's the new lo-fi noise rock band isn't it?! I'm so downloading that right now."

Poseidon's Pitchfork is when a male is urinating and his stream starts, or leads into, a triple stream going left, right and center.
Oh man, I had to pee so bad last night, I made Poseidon's Pitchfork.

Game executive/CEO that plays the victim when in fact they are the perpetrator.
Dude, did you see how that game dev said he had no control over this?
Don’t listen to him, he’s just pitchfording us.

Pitchforkcore

Music (especially indie music) or bands that were popularized by the music website Pitchfork. Often used derisively.
At this point I think we can assume that any band with "Beach" in its name is Pitchforkcore.

White kids who don't listen to rap will listen to Odd Future because it's Pitchforkcore.

a device used to anal-probe self-righteous pricks who pretend they created all of the bands they listen to and have never considered another's opinion on anything.

Criticism that is pitifully reactionary and irresponsible
Ryan's review of the new Wilco record was a little pitchforky.
