a term initially coined by
anthony fantano of theneedledrop, stinkpieces are a form of think piece that
articulate opinions that, while valid(??), hold no substance and are backed up by fallacies or incorrect
information.
Fantano has picked apart various stinkpieces, including Paul Joseph Watson's video on pop culture, aptly calling PJW a pop culture pleb for being vastly unaware of the modern music zeitgeist.
"hey have you checked the
Opinion section on VICE recently?"
"nah, most of them are stinkpieces
written by dummy freelancers who need a
quick buck"
