Celerywave Is The Next Great Music Genre

Are you tired of ridiculous music genres? Yes? Well here’s one more! You may think that this new genre based off of Tim & Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! isn’t real but let me assure you this is very serious.

NPR’s Jacob Ganz takes a microscope to Pitchfork’s Top 200 Albums Of The 2000s list to tell a story about the evolution of the website from trendy discovery engine to indie-band kingmaker. This is music nerdery of an extreme sort, but well worth a read if you’re into that sort of thing.
