A Conversation With The Instagram Scammer Who’s Pretending To Be Me

Here’s the important thing, the thing that you need to know before anything else: You cannot buy coverage on Stereogum. That’s not the way this website works. That’s not the way any halfway-reputable music-based media outlet works. Stereogum will sometimes partner up with music festivals. We accept advertising, though I don’t have anything to do with that, and neither do the other writers. But we don’t solicit or accept payment from musicians. If we’re posting music on this website, it’s because we think it’s good or interesting or important or some combination of those three things. It’s not because anyone Paypal’ed us a few bucks.
