Very popular bands are very popular because they are very good. They may not be to your taste, but they are still great.

some yessome manufactured (possibly many)some involve occult sacrifice to get where they are (similar to manufactured)some it's a mix of both and thats where it gets tricky
Marketing dictates success more than skill. Some of the latter is needed to simple not fall flat on your face, but at the end of the day it's the ability to be sold to the masses that makes the bank.

very popular groups just get marketed a lot and normies havereally shit tastes
Ever seen your local politician elections? Theyre all trash but there are some that have more ads. Just that, more ads. Those always win.
>>128240652They get marketed a lot because they're good artists and record labels know that they're going to get a return on investment from them.
>>128240672That’s not how it works. Consumers are cattle and will accept what they’re fed.
>>128240685This is just you coping because you listen to shit that is too trash for real record labels to want to touch and you think that their only barrier keeping them from popularity is purely because they lack marketing.
>>128240672Let me condense this a bit for you so it's more accurate.>They get marketed a lot because record labels know that they're going to get a return on investment from them.You don't have to be a good artist to be marketable. All you need is one lucky break to get your foot in the door and another that sticks with the audience. Hell, that lucky break can even be a double whammy.
>>128239959the normalcattle like jingles, not depth. they like 3 note melodies that they can hum in their car to work, not music with development or something that transcends the relatable and mundane human experience, you dumb reddit-frog posting fag.
>>128240722You're wrong, sometimes a band can get tons of promotion from a record label but still have nobody give a fuck about them like King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard because 90% of their discography is still forgettable slop. My point is that labels TEND to want to market bands they think people are going to like, you're arguing that people only like some bands because of marketing alone, which is a bullshit argument
>>128239959haha OP I love froggo XD
