Hey everyone!

I’ve been looking to expand my daily reading list for pop music news, reviews, and deep dives. It feels like some of the big mainstream sites are becoming just clickbait, and I’m looking for quality over quantity.

I found a great discussion on Reddit where people shared their 'holy grail' sites for pop culture (check it out here:

).

A few favorites that keep coming up are:

  • Popjustice: Known for their dry wit and 'don't take it too seriously' attitude.
  • Pitchfork: For the more 'artistic' and critical side of pop.
  • Stereogum: Great for keeping a pulse on the intersection of indie and pop.
  • The Idolator: Good for quick updates and chart news.
What about you guys? Do you have any niche blogs, newsletters, or forums that the general public might not know about? Where do you go for the most honest reviews?
