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"
