The site, in 2000
An online music magazine, started in 1996 by Ryan Schreiber, then 19 and living at his parents' home in Minnesota.
Known for reviews scored to one decimal place. It is credited with lifting Arcade Fire, Bon Iver and Sufjan Stevens. Condé Nast bought it in 2015, and it moved to a subscription model in 2026.
In 2000: It gave Radiohead's Kid A a 10.0, the top score on its decimal scale.
Dot-com era, 1999 to 2002. Glossy buttons, big money and a bug called Y2K. Some of these companies were worth billions for about a fortnight.
The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
