Managing the Boundaries of Taste: Culture, Valuation, and Computational Social Science Abstract The proliferation of cultural objects, such as music, books, film and websites, has created a new problem: How do consumers determine the value of cultural objects in an age of information glut? Crowd-sourcing – paralleling word-of-mouth recommendations – has taken center stage, yet expert opinion has also assumed renewed importance. Prior work on the valuation of artworks and other cultural artifacts identifies ways critics establish and maintain classificatory boundaries, such as genre. We extend this research by offering a theoretical approach emphasizing the dynamics of critics’ valuation and classification. Empirically, this analysis turns to Pitchfork.com, an influential music review website, to examine the relationship between classification and valuation. Using topic models of fourteen years of Pitchfork.com album reviews (n=14,495), we model the dynamics of valuation through genre and additional factors predictive of positive reviews and cultural consecration. We use gold record awards to study the relationship between valuation processes and commercial outcomes. -
Pitchfork Tour 2016 Press Relea
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE July 21, 2016 Meeteetse Museums to Host Inaugural Pitchfork Ranch Tour July 30 Dr. Lenox Baker, owner of the Pitchfork Ranch near Meeteetse, will be leading the inaugural tour of the historic ranch on Saturday, July 30. The tour, organized by the Meeteetse Museums, leaves from the museum at 9 a.m. and begins on site at 10 a.m. The Meeteetse Museum is located at 1947 State Street. Participants should arrive at the museum no later than 8:30 a.m. to register. Those taking part are also asked to bring a picnic lunch and plenty of water. Guests may drive their own vehicles, but must travel with the organized group to the Pitchfork, which is private property. Carpooling is encouraged, but is not required. This tour will begin at the historic Red Barn and continue at the Bunk House. At the main ranch, tour participants will visit Pickett’s Cabin, the Stone House, and the Octagon House (which predated the Stone House). Current restoration and preservation efforts will also be discussed by Dr. Baker. In addition, there will be a visit to the former studio of photographer Charles Belden. Belden is well known for his images of the people and activities associated with the Pitchfork Ranch from 1914 until about 1940. The tour continues at the cemetery. Here, Dr. Baker will tell some very interesting stories associated with the site. If possible, the tour participants will also be allowed to visit the new black-footed ferret reintroduction site. The endangered ferrets are scheduled to be released on July 26 at the location of the 1981 discovery. -

The Pitchfork Formula
The Pitchfork Formula Robert Fry 1 Introduction Anyone who is interested in modern indie rock knows that Pitchfork is unquestionably the top source for independent music discovery. “En- try level alts” flock to the website for music recommendations. Hipsters deny following it while, in reality, they religiously absorb every song that is approved on Pitchfork’s “Playlist” (their recommended songs list). Pitchfork’s “Best New Music” tag is a universal seal of popular approval; once an album appears on Pitchfork, it has already become mainstream by indie music standards. As an avid music fan, I was personally interested in determining whether there is any method to Pitchfork’s rating scheme, and whether there are certain factors that re- veal how well an album will be received. If there are, is there any way to use those indicators to predict the score that Pitchfork gives an album before the album is released and anticipate the levels of hype that the album receives? In order to test this, I created a multivariate regression that attempts to predict the Pitchfork score of an album using data on the Pitchfork website prior to the album’s release. But perhaps the most relevant question that I hope to answer through this project is: “What should I listen to next?” 2 Data Collection All of my data were collected from Pitchfork’s website. I compiled a list of the 150 albums most recently reviewed by Pitchfork, exclud- ing albums that I deemed were not applicable to my study (for ex- ample, reissues and albums released by bands with previous albums that were released before Pitchfork was created). -

Hipster Black Metal?
Hipster Black Metal? Deafheaven’s Sunbather and the Evolution of an (Un) popular Genre Paola Ferrero A couple of months ago a guy walks into a bar in Brooklyn and strikes up a conversation with the bartenders about heavy metal. The guy happens to mention that Deafheaven, an up-and-coming American black metal (BM) band, is going to perform at Saint Vitus, the local metal concert venue, in a couple of weeks. The bartenders immediately become confrontational, denying Deafheaven the BM ‘label of authenticity’: the band, according to them, plays ‘hipster metal’ and their singer, George Clarke, clearly sports a hipster hairstyle. Good thing they probably did not know who they were talking to: the ‘guy’ in our story is, in fact, Jonah Bayer, a contributor to Noisey, the music magazine of Vice, considered to be one of the bastions of hipster online culture. The product of that conversation, a piece entitled ‘Why are black metal fans such elitist assholes?’ was almost certainly intended as a humorous nod to the ongoing debate, generated mainly by music webzines and their readers, over Deafheaven’s inclusion in the BM canon. The article features a promo picture of the band, two young, clean- shaven guys, wearing indistinct clothing, with short haircuts and mild, neutral facial expressions, their faces made to look like they were ironically wearing black and white make up, the typical ‘corpse-paint’ of traditional, early BM. It certainly did not help that Bayer also included a picture of Inquisition, a historical BM band from Colombia formed in the early 1990s, and ridiculed their corpse-paint and black cloaks attire with the following caption: ‘Here’s what you’re defending, black metal purists. -

PREPRINT - MARCH 2021 DO NOT QUOTE WITHOUT PERMISSION Video Meeting Signals A randomised controlled trial of a technique to improve the experience of video conferencing Paul D. Hills, Mackenzie V. Q. Clavin, Miles R. A. Tufft & Daniel C. Richardson* Department of Experimental Psychology, University College London Abstract We found evidence from A rAndomised controlled triAl thAt A simple set of techniques cAn improve the experience of online meetings. Video conferencing technology has practical benefits, but psychological costs. It has allowed industry, education and social interactions to continue in some form during the covid-19 lockdowns. But it hAs left mAny users feeling fAtigued And socially isolated, perhaps because the limitations of video conferencing disrupt users’ ability to coordinate interactions and foster social affiliation. Video Meeting Signals (VMS™) is a simple technique thAt uses gestures to overcome some of these limitAtions. We cArried out A rAndomised controlled trial with over 100 students, in which hAlf underwent A short trAining session in VMS. All pArticipAnts rAted their subjective experience of two weekly seminars, and transcripts were objectively coded for the valence of language used. Compared to controls, seminAr groups with VMS trAining rAted their personAl experience, their feelings toward their group, and their perceived learning outcomes as significantly higher. Also, they were more likely to use positive lAnguAge And less likely to use negative languAge. While future, pre-registered experiments will explore which aspects of the technique are responsible for these benefits, the current results establish thAt VMS hAs greAt potentiAl to overcome the psychologicAl problems of group video meetings. * corresponding author [email protected] Open Science FoundAtion Project pAge https://osf.io/x28ef/ 1 People struggle with communicAtion technologies when they clAsh with sociAl norms.
