This is a great site for teenagers who don't like mainstream music to discover new music. The content varies with the song or interview, but is generally okay.

What Parents Need to Know
About Pitchfork.tv
Parents need to know that this online video channel showcases artists and labels that don't normally get mainstream coverage. Some videos and interviews contain cursing, crude humor, and sexual references, but in general, there's less of the slick, commercialized sex and violence than you'll find on many other music outlets. There's no social element right now, but Pitchfork plans to add chat, forums, and registration in the future.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about music videos in general and how powerful they are at getting the message of a song across. Why do some videos seem to not have anything to do with the actual lyrics? Who comes up with their themes? What types of issues do they address?
