quote [ Remember, blogs peaked at the height of the hipster era. There was social capital in being up on trends before others. Blog curators gave superfans confidence that a rising artist was worth investing in.
It turned into two-sided experience. Artists needed superfans to spread the word to other hip-hop fans. Superfans needed artists to deliver good music so they can enjoy and share with friends. Everybody won. ] I like how these media retrospectives explain stuff from the past that you didn't realize back then. Interesting accounts on balancing human curation, too.

But not all artists make good music and not all fans recognize good music when they hear it.

What makes music good other than a listener recognizing it as good?

What I mean is, just because someone with a blog thinks a song is good, doesn't mean other people will, too.
