buzzband 

A certain type of musical artist oriented toward "hipsters" and those who love them. This term was largely coined by the blog Hipster Runoff and then co-opted into the music blogosphere. These bands tend to attract a huge amount of hype, most importantly from Pitchfork leading up to their debut album, or in some cases, their second album that is supposed to represent a major advance on the first. Then, Pitchfork gives them a 9.1 or whatever and everyone flips out, and the "buzzband" becomes, at least, just another band.

Recent examples of buzzbands include Tapes 'n' Tapes, Grimes, Vampire Weekend, The xx, Cults, Fleet Foxes, and most recently, CHVRCHES.
Pitchfork is really hyping the latest buzzband's new album by positively reviewing all of their singles and posting multiple music videos.

BuzzFeed 

A website that occasionally posts news but mostly makes aids-inducing clickbait videos, quizzes and listicles. Basically Fox News for twitter feminists but at least Fox News doesn’t spew metric fucktons of clickbait that basic bitches regurgitate all over social media. (Look what you did, Buzzfeed. You made me defend Fox News. I hope you’re proud of yourself.) Buzzfeed has also contributed to the fake news epidemic by claiming to be a news source while not giving a shit about facts and only reporting what they think will get clicks. It’s basically a bunch of dweebs desperately trying to be relevant (which actually makes them sound dated two weeks after their articles come out) and taking advantage of people with autism and/or just really short attention spans.
Person 1: “why is it so hard to find a news source that reports actual facts!?”
Person 2: “Idk, blame BuzzFeed”.
