BrooklynVegan

The New York Times reports that BrooklynVegan, once a leading independent blog covering indie rock and underground music, has quietly emptied out into a shell of its former self. The piece traces how corporate ownership hollowed out the site, leaving a recognizable brand with little of the editorial identity that made it a fixture of the 2000s music blog era. Readers online are sharing the story as a lament for the death of the independent music web.
