I used to read Stereogum when it was just Scott writing and it was just a funny blog. Now it just seems like work (to read and write).

I'm okay with the more fleshed-out Stereogum and it's Pitchforkish layout now, but the logo redesign? zzzzzzzz
Who thought that changing from this...

...was in any way a good idea? BORING.

more bars in more places imo

Yeah, I can't cite any specifics, but it seems like LED bars have been done to death in music blog/press logos.

Can someone tell me the genesis of the "gum" suffix in Stereogum, Videogum, et al. There's other sites not owned by them that use it too, but I can't rrmember their names

Stereogum was the first time I'd heard it used.
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 23 February 2010 17:19 (fourteen years ago) link
There was like an influx of -gum sites like 2007, and i was wondering if they were all ripping of stereogum or if gum just means something.

Babelgum was the biggest one that came in Sgum's wake. Are they simply swagger-jackers or does -gum mean something in internet talk?

always assumed that babelgum was a pun on bubblegum?

I knew the editor of Videogum in lolcollege.

Stereogum and Videogum are connected
Babelgum and Metrogum are on some other gum shit that is curious

I missed that Amrit left in 2013. I guess I can read Stereogum again after a ten year hiatus. (For all I know, he became less irritating over time, but that dude SUUUUUUCKED SO HARD when he started.)
