Pitchfork Effect

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."

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.

What I'm going to drive through the head of the creator of a website for shitty indie music.
