Editor's Note: This review contains a list of the various names that have been used to describe the music of SALEM and/or other similar artists, among them "drag" and "witch house." It originally also listed "rape gaze", a term coined by Michigan band CREEP, as formerly listed on their MySpace and reported in the New York Press. The band today disowned the phrase and will no longer be using it, expressing to The Village Voice, they "would never want to advocate sexual violence against any human being. It was a play on words which we never expected to be used as an actual genre."
so evidently pitchfork tried to namedrop a non-existent genre with a despicable name in an attempt to be hipsters, then decided to remove the term rape-gaze...not because it's innapropriate or because it isn't a real genre, but because other hipsters(in this case a presumably shit musical formation) decided it was innapropriate and not a real genre
