Wired is a leftist publication, so this isn't some dumb retarded rightoid bias conspiracy theory thing. Published a few hours agohttps://archive.is/YGNY5https://www.wired.com/story/geese-chaotic-good-marketing-industry-plant/
The allegation is Geese used a sophisticated bot army and swarms of fake social media accounts to shill the band constantly all over the internet for months, creating their eventual success
to no one's surprise
happens all the time. its like you kids forgot 2017-18 with clairo and those fake mac demarco ripoffs buying bot views on youtube
>>129985146>>129985152>>129985169>no one is surprisedno one cares eitherwhat matters is what comes out of the speakers. clearly somebody likes it because tickets for their tour are selling like hotcakes.>"buh buh that's just bots buying up the tickets!" copeand if they play to packed rooms then you'll say those are paid audience members. Turtles all the way down.
>>129985182Prove that Clairo did any of that. Obviously she must've had her dad help her with production costs initially, but I am somewhat skeptical that she had any serious inorganic marketing going on. I think it was just the quality of the videos and how she looked mainly
>>129985193shut up rajesh
>>129985193A lot of musical preference and actual neural processing of sound-over-time can be greatly influenced by cultural factors that can be heavily shifted by shilling, memes, psyops, and other such thingsBut, yes, I don't think it matters that much if a band gets shilled if the band actually has enough real appreciators. Da Vinci would still be a good painter even if he had paid people to astroturf his reputation. It's just funny>>129985200Racists are retarded cattle
>Racists are retarded cattle
>>129985206>I like this music because of shilling, memes and psyops, oh my!>I like this music for totally organic reasons, far removed from any sort of commercial influence.IDGAF why I like it, I just do (or don't). Why chuddies constantly snivel about "nepo baby" "trust-fund kid" "industry plant" etc etc etc it beyond me.how pathetic is it if you're filtered by that shit? (or conversely, how pathetic is it if you like a band simply because you haven't detected any of the economic forces promoting them?)

>>129985146>>129985152Yes that is quite literally how public relations works and the entire job of a publicist is to do these things People have been doing the same thing for as long as public relations has been a thing

>>129985146>next sentence after the title says "maybe it was"nice post
>>129985152Any of us indie fans were already gonna check out getting killed after 3D was a banger of a release
>>129985281I agree with you. I like some bands that possibly were shilled (possibly only shilled organically by adoring fans and not paid marketers, but, still). It doesn't really matter unless the shilling is so deceptive or egregious that the marketers are actually being kind of evil, but even then that wouldn't affect my opinion of the music itself. I'm Jewish but I still like and listen to Kanye's music, for example, and what he said/did is worse than even the worst case scenario of Geese's shilling and astroturfing.You're gonna need some Lostprophets-tier stuff to lose me
ultimately it doesn't matter. they won. the band is so saturated on here that it has its own cadre of fangirl seethers like >>129985299 >>129985309 >>129985200that are in every geese thread continuously bumping the thread and telling you how much they don't like them
>>129985343>Rap and pop shit are allowed to be shilled by major corporations, but you aren’t, you are too unbearably whiteGeese are obviously extremely "white male" (even if you exclude the trans woman, the rest are white men and probably from "privileged backgrounds"), you're just a coping little cuck.
>>129985382Hahshahhahshs oh my god a literal fucking incel who is proud of being one in 2026. They don't even accept your kind on /r9k/ anymore. You need to go to that Icelandic domain forum to be with your people now you're so unwanted. >>129985361/qa/ lost, we're still here. I am sure your experience getting groomed on Discord by a Roblox game creator was very traumatic but you're an adult now. It only gets worse from here. Now be a good sport for me and post a cobson haha I think it's so cute how these shitty drawings have lore. It's like skibidi toilet.
>>129985309You're a schizo if you think any band as popular as them shills themselves
>>129985373no no no, MY favorite band had a totally organic rise to respectability!
>>129985445To be fair Lorde's producer did shill "Royals" here to get feedback on the track, but before it was released so she wasn't very famous yetPoppy's crazy ex-producer/stalker Titanic Sinclair admitted to (and very obviously was) shilling her here and on other boards and altchans for years as well, but also before she was super well-knownI think a few now-popular electronic musicians used to post here or might still occasionally, but not to shill themselves, probably just to argue with or insult people I would guess (like most 4channers spend all their time doing). Same for YouTubers and /tv/ and other places

Cool. Another Geese shill thread.

I don't like the nasty ugly ass 'jaks. I don't get the 'teens obsession with unappealing ugly images. Is it some kind of post-modern deconstruction of meme culture?

>>129985556Wow that one has teeth. It must have taken the child that made it hours to pull that off in mspaint. But it's still kinda ugly and crude looking in a bad way outside of the mouth having that cool 90s gross out look. 6/10
Love this active discouragement of trying to engage in honest discourse over the obvious shill campaigning and psyop. “Theyve done this since forever!!!” - not to this extent. “Nobody actually cares!!!” -Clearly a lot of people do care. “Shut up chud stop complaining and accept it!!!” - Actively trying to humiliate and berate people who dare to go against what’s happening won’t stop the truth from coming out. Clearly they’ve learned a thing or two about how public opinion can be swayed so easily by just a few vocal people, they have to deploy all their tactics to try and spin the narrative. People DO care that they’re nepobabies and have a giant corporate backed shill campaign. But keep on damage controlling and trying to put down the people who don’t like what they’re doing, I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I’m sure it’ll totally work out!
Interesting how they will go after a rock band but not any of the groomed pop star industry plants 10x more famous than them.
Everything you've heard about for the past decade has been doing this btwGovernments do it on social media to astroturf consensus for their policy making, too :)
>>129985693There is no implied authenticity in pop. That machine operates in plain sight. Disney is the farm team for tomorrow's manufactured female pop stars? We've known that since the days of Britney and Christina. Next you're going to tell me water is wet.
>>129985697Exactly, and they don’t want people waking up to their reality because they’ll be less docile or easy to control. They need sleepy sheep to keep the illusion of freedom in order to further their goals. It starts with realizing that every form of media is controlled, and funneled through filters, then it becomes a bigger issue of realizing that the people’s own government is actively preying upon them. Can’t have that, now can we?
>>129985480>any band as popular as themThey are literal whos outside of the niche audience that actually fell for their PR firm's shilling.
>>129985713Why is poptimism in vogue and pop stars taken as serious artists then.
The word psyop itself used to trigger troons into a meltdown, now they use the word like it's normal. Funny how that works.
>>129985675>Clearly a lot of people do care.the best course of action for these things is to just stop talking about them though. but that's too hard for you, you want everyone to know you're steaming and you want those (You)s as well. these ad agencies know this. they're banking on you venting your frustration which in turn gives them more exposure.
>>129985785ye of little faith. I’m banking on furthering public opinion by attracting the readers of my posts. defeatism tactics mean nothing to me.

>>129985808thanks for the free public exposure now even more people will read what I wrote and resonate with my point! doing gods work my fren
>>129985737Because Taylor Swift is money and clicks. A discussion about a band we may be interested in for negative or positive reasons stays on this board with racists, people who desperately want to fuck 7/10 female singers and make threads about it every day, grandpas who still haven't gotten over the death of hair metal, nu-metal dead enders who refuse to grow up, and retards who hate nu-pitchfork core like Geese but never discuss anything else. Everything else is marginal at best in modern times. Just roll with it. It's okay if the things you like aren't culturally dominant because the things that are only appeal to the lowest common denominator now.
>>129985796you're no different than incels on /pol/ that think they're going to be written about in history books 50 years from now because they posted a bunch of frog memes and like, exposed the jews or something
>>129985874I’ve already swayed opinions of thousands of people. But I’m not going to reveal to you what ways!
>>129985808>>129985556>>129985501>>129985477>>129985361Playing with your dolls again?
>>129985152so, doing the same shit every other successful band does? it's just weird because it's an indie band and not B2K or Sabrina Carpenter or Taylor Swift?
zoomer bros... our Nirvana was a complete lie...
>>129985345You should fuck off and kill yourself
>>129985932You sound mad
>>129985146>leftist publication claiming Geese is a psyop.....actually, Geese is pretty based! Haters are woke tards!!
>>129985146If leftists hate geese then fuck it, maybe I like them now. Its real punk to be subversive and piss off people like this.
>>129986096Cringe. You'll follow this knee jerk contrarian logic to all kinds of retarded places. People like you need everything to be a statement. You can't just listen to something because you enjoy it.
>>129985146this was obvious and an army of shillbots denied it here in their fake threads, and made it clearer still exactly what it looks like when one of these fake campaigns is underway (which is very common, and easy to spot but for the gaslighting shills telling you otherwise)
>>129986096>unable to form opinions on your own so you need to know what others think of it firstgrim
>>129985988>>129986096pathetically obvious shills and an example of their gay tactics deployed in threads. another tell is when they come in two’s like that
>>129985146I mean, duhSame thing happened with bcnrDo you actually think the so called in crowd is lining up to listen to artsy rock acts in the 2020s?The kids listen to shit like osamason and fakemink lol>>129985693Yeah bro people are looking at Sabrina Carpenter or some shit as reaaaaal musicI get what you're trying to say but it'd be waste of time
>>129985906Geese doesn't make the kind of music that people listen to and wanna recreate so no
>>129986408>pathetically obvious shillsdoubt it. i don't think you realize how many people here are mind-controlled by reddit and will change their opinion of something on a whim if they find out reddit changes theirs first
>>129986385i suspect you're likely wrong and that around 99.99 - 100% of the people who've ever shilled it here are wholly unpaid and unaffiliated with the band or anyone related to the band in any way and they just are in a feedback loop where they find it funny to intentionally shill it to annoy people who keep saying it's being shilled so that those people will once again say it's being shilled so the shillers will feel more incentivized to continue shilling it for yearshappens with a few bands/artists here, usually a different one every 2 years
>/mu/ cries for years about how hip hop is popular and yearning to return to the good ol' days of rock>zoomers finally get a decent rock band>nothing but whining from /mu/its all so tiresome
>>129986446>>129986485shills operating in a pair again. a tactic they use for reinforcement to make you doubt the obvious.stfu you piece of shit doubt-sowing shill trash. your shit has a recognizable pattern. you fucking wish people were all retards and couldn’t detect what is obvious from you assholes, but you run all operate the same way and i knew your bullshit post trying to suggest it’s just redditards or some such was coming. you are no better than pfizer shills or zioshills. same lame tactics
>>129985146>psyopBut enough about Kendrick Lamar
>>129985281yeah I'm with you. So much of the music that we like has been nepo'd/trustfunded/planted enough to end up in front of us over other shit, it is what it is. The rich kids win, duh, dig deeper into DIY scenes if you want to.It's still interesting to note though when something is obviously being pushed. I've got plenty of friends who aren't deep enough into music to find stuff on their own, and all of them ask me if I've listened to Geese yet. I'll still like it if it's good, but it's worth noting for the history if nothing else
>>129986578okyou relentlessly seething is continuing to give geese free advertising btw so Tbh you also look like a shill
>>129986529>Geese>decent
>>129986578>you are no better than pfizer shillsHoly shit you're actually a retarded right-wing antivaxxer conspiracy theorist. No wonder you always sound so delusional and schizophrenic. You sound that way because you are genuinely delusional and schizophrenic.
>>129985146>leftist>not dumb>not retardedlmao
>>129986679>>129986705calling people a shill is an obvious shill tactic. calling people schizo for noticing their shilling is an obvious shill tactic. the real users of the board are not falling for this. you can spam the thread desperately but it’s only going to make it more obvious.
>>129986705lmao look at dis retarded ass goyim cattle dood
>>129986707Right? Leftoid media and fantano are seething because niggger music has lost its grip on the mainstream.
>>129986529>zoomers finally get a decent rock bandThere are a shit load of good zoomer rock bands, we don't need this mediocre garbage being forced as a "classic".
>>129986723I never called you a shill. I just said you're schizophrenic and delusional (which you are).
>>129986724Being antivax in 2026 is genuinely worse than being a QAnon adherent on /pol/Also you're kind of getting into Jewish supremacist rhetoric there if you're saying Jews are the smart ones who are taking the vaccine and the boosters while dumb non-Jews are the ones avoiding it and getting sick
>>129986737lol you’re so retarded. typical sheep with the wool over their eyes type shit
geese shills itt doing damage control running an outdated script they probably borrowed from zioshills. embarrassing
>>129986746not even gonna argue just gonna bask in the radiance of your mental deficiency. so glad I’m not a dumbass like you lmao
>>129985436>>129985894>>129985874
>>129986731Like....?
>>129986424black midi and BCNR's hype through the Windmill gigs was organicThe sort of industry-yuppie talk shows and interview gigs BCNR were being invited onto as soon as they recorded their debut and switched styles is not
>>129986529>zoomers finally get a decent rock bandWhere? It's certainly not Le Reddit Geese.
>>129985737Because music doesn't have to be "authentic" to be good. It would be healthier for everyone to finally admit this rather than continue to guzzle the slop from mediocrities like Geese because their marketing and PR firms chose the "authentic" angle for them.
>>129986964Yeah, it's weird. You're bound to get some authenticity because everyone is simply different and talks and writes about different subjects. But some people talk about genres and noises and chord progressions or beats themselves as if you need to "upgrade" like it's an outdated laptop or something.
>>129986964>Because music doesn't have to be "authentic" to be good.I agree. So we can all enjoy Geese.
>>129987027die scumbag shill
>>129985146>Wired is a leftist publicationAh yes, the thinly disguised commodity-peddling vehicle is advocating for class consciousness.
>>129986853Greta Van Fleet, Tame Impala, Black Keys, White Stripes if you count older rock bands still releasing music
>>129987080Blame that on the left themselves for squandering their class consciousness in the first place and trading it for identity politics.
>>129987096>You can only pick one! You can't want the lower class to be exploited less AND stick up against racists!Sub 80 IQ
>>129987090we know they just pay a public relations firm to use overseas cheap labor. you argue with a strawman to help obfuscate like the loathsome slimeball paid shill you are. calling people names doesn’t work.
>>129987105If you had such a high IQ, you'd realize none of that has worked out in material reality. You'd go back to the drawing board like the genius you supposedly are. That's what a good scientist does.You'd also realize this was by design. Occupy was the last time Class Consciousness had a chance. Why do think it died out? Because Banks and Hedge Funds and Corps bet on misdirecting you into Identity. That you'd no longer care about the economic injustices they're guilty of, if they just dangled the carrot of Identity in your face. Make you feel like you're "making progress" because a Ritz cracker commercial has a gay couple or there's a black superhero in your Marvel slop. Then you get guys like Larry Fink who've practically swallowed up huge swathes of the economy with Blackrock - whether acquiring real estate and jacking up your rent or creating giant monopolies. But he implements EGS and the journos (whom he also bought out) say he's a saint.
>>129985193This reply got me thinking who is actually paying to see Geese, because apparently it's a lot of people.I went to their official site, and most (all) of their dates are during music festivals- you're not paying just to see them. So if you want to see Geese in the US this Fall, you're paying $165 at MINIMUM, which is the lowest I found for a one-day GA ticket into the festival. Since it's a festival it's probably like what, a half hour set?Who can afford this?? How can someone convince even one friend to drop that much money to go with them see their favorite band play a half hour setMusic Festivals suddenly seem like a royal scam...
>>129985146They weren't the only ones who used it even when it's true. Pretty sure there was Jane Remover and established bands like Paramore and Coldplay. It's only now that it's safe for publications to speak on this shit.
>>129985146>rightoid bias conspiracy theoryaka spoiler alert
>>129986705A broken clock strikes right occasionally.
>>129987148Its not as simple as "going to the drawing board". >Parroting that banks pushing identity politics conspiracy theoryAgain, being against racism doesn't mean you are somehow not allowed to also speak up against class exploitation. Literally makes no sense.
>>129987090>>129987333when bots make the same exact post twice.
They just played for 20 million people at Coachella, they don't need the advertisements on a dead ass 4chan board
>>129987232Be against racism. God bless you. But are you truly anti-racist or just anti-white? Because another part of this "corporate conspiracy" is to just get regular working class people to fight among themselves, not see each other's common suffering, and not join together to fight the actual entities that are causing harm to everyone. Here and elsewhere, I see legions of self-styled leftists who like calling almost all of America as "flyover" now. Or if it's the south, they write them off as hillbillies and rednecks or resorted to dehumanizing them altogether. They don't see any of their struggle and laugh at suffering if it's white. None of this resemble an old progressive political party like picrel who went into these regions and made allies and won white working classes over to join the fight. Democrats gladly handed them over to Trump, to make whatever promises he wants to make to them.And no, I'm not white myself, just trying to make this personal.
>>129985193Just accept you were tricked into listening to garbage
Nice try geese shills
>>129987423stfu you scumbag cheap ass indian shill, you’re a pr firm perk for bands to cover all their bases with mass astroturfing and this ‘they’re so big they don’t need shills’ is horseshit you all say, but even taylor’s team employs cheap shills, it is part of the package.
>>129987440>anti-whiteAre you one of those dudes who thinks white people are being genocided because they seen a black man and white woman together. Pathetic
>>129986723>can't argue against being a shill other than "n-no u!"shill confirmed
>>129987440I am not who you're replying to there but just for the record: I am very anti-communism, anti-racism, pro-white, pro-black, pro-indian, pro-jewish, pro-muslim, pro-christian, pro-men, pro-women, etc. etc. Those aren't platitudes, I have millions of comments online defending every possible person from any stupid bigot across any permutation.I'm also pro-poor and pro-billionaire (I helped contribute to the recent pro-billionaire march in California). I think notions of class struggle and racial struggle are both very stupid, worthless distractions, I think far-right and far-left people are both wrong and dumb and bad, I think conspiracy theory-style thinking is extremely stupid and never even a tiny bit correct, basically not even once correct in the past 50 or so years. Maybe once or twice max.Seemingly almost no one holds my political position and instead wants to cling onto populist copes and hatred and theories of enemies and villains. Alas.You're not going to find almost any anti-racist people on 4chan who have the slightest animosity towards white/european people. If you think that way, you're like the weird pro-Israel shills who say that not wanting Israel to bomb people is hatred against jews.
>>129986792>not even gonna argue just gonna bask in the radiance of your mental deficiency. so glad I’m not a dumbass like you lmaoWith all due respect, anon, I think your IQ might be very low. I would be shocked if you're employed in a high-skill, high-income job. Are you?
>>129987467No. I'm mixed race myself. I just said it was good that the anon above was not racist. The problem is that identity politics itself has hijacked even what racism even means. In Identity politics, it talks about systemic racism specifically (and to distract you from economic injustice), and calling out all whites as privileged in said system. It doesn't matter what any whites' actual living conditions may be, they're still somehow "privileged". White Privilege. It purposely makes you minimize any white suffering at all. That they can't possibly be victims of a faulty class system like others... when they've always been victims themselves of it. Whether in feudal Europe as peasants or victims of bad food and industrial practices in the modern age. It tells everyone all whites benefited from Colonialism too, when most of those people lived in utter shit. They weren't nobles. And if they were soldiers, they were drafted and got blown to bits in hellish foxholes going mad. There isn't one single race that has historically been immune from suffering and not getting a boot on their face from some upper class shitbag. But Identity politics has clouded that and got people to just blame all whites for all the evil in the world. And then call it "anti racism".
>>129987489I could tell you the truth, I could deflect and ask you the same question, I could just bullshit you and youd never know. But honestly? I don’t care. You’re so beneath me I just do not give a single fuck. Here’s your (you) genius ;)

>>129987557awe cat got your tongue? darn… I really was hoping for a witty clapback but I guess I got under your skin. what a shame tsk tsk
>>129987474I'll be pro-billionaire when they create jobs and promote growth and let their billions actually circulate into the society around them. Some do, many don't. Most can be talked into shifting said money elsewhere. The bulk of the economy of the modern world is built on a system of third world slavery and debt slavery for most others. Slavery never truly died out. They just shifted it from local peasants and chattel slavery to making deals in faraway lands that no one has to think about. But even among the local populace, there is more income disparity now than there was in the actual Gilded Age, which was already a comical level of disparity. Even in those days, one working man could support a large family by himself. You can't get close to that now. It won't be long until we approach Pharaoh levels and Bronze Age tiers of income disparity. Where there are practical gods over everyone. And with AI and mass surveillance, they'll probably larp like gods too if you don't put an end to them now. But I digress :)
>>129986746>Being antivax in 2026 is genuinely worse than being a QAnon adherent on /pol/Being antivax is just being "you" in 2019 and before. Is that so bad? I just never saw any reason to change that. I'm still in the same State. You aren't. Maybe it means nothing. Who knows.I just don't like putting shit in my body that I feel no need to. If you saw a random cup of liquid as you were walking, do you just pick up and drink it? Do you just grab random products off the store isle and shove them up your ass? You don't HAVE to, you know.
>>129987646He’s just retarded and doesn’t understand clinical trials. No intelligent person would put a vaccine that hasn’t undergone the ten years of research that’s standard practice for any other vaccine available. It’s a fantastic way to fuck yourself up down the line.
if you watch you’ll see the shills suddenly fall off and stop replying at certain times because the shift is over. then suddenly they’ll bumpbthe thread abd be back when the new guys come on. every thread full of damage control shilld, or every lane taylor, sabrina hype/faux outrage bait thread has this observable phenomenon. maybe the op article will help those who doubt this open their eyes. you are victims of marketing campaigns, and are arguing with shills half the time
>>129985146ruh roh
>>129987673it’s pure coincidence goyim. oy vey he’s a victim of antisemitism! this is anudda shoah
>>129985146Why include that they're a leftist publication? Geese is literally a jewish transsexual band.
>>129985206>can be greatly influenced by cultural factorsif you're 12 or a thirdie maybe. are they big in india?
Has the cuckold arc been mentioned yet? I feel its musically relevant

>>129987728la raza pinche loco à la verga, puto
>>129985146where were you when geese was kill?I was sat on /mu/ drinking brain fluid when wired ring 'goose is die' 'no' and you?
>>129985146and nothing of value was lostto be fair i've never actually heard them but if you guys like them they must be ass
Shhhhhh….Paid shills are on break now :)Fresh ones will arrive soon
Fantano is ranting about them being a forced capitalism band. Not going to lie seeing how much they trigger people like him makes me want to like them.
>>129987673Whats wrong with being Jewish? I have Jewish heritage
>>129987966we’ve got a live faggot shill! using the unbearably lame tactics already tried itt and every shill thread that’s called out. you guys are shit at your job.
>>129987975Go back crying about Geese on the fantano livestream. This band isn't for woketards like you.
>>129987985no one is buying this, shill. you have a script telling what mu is and it’s not remotely what you think it is. it’s so obvious you took a break and now are bumping both geese threads talking about pol and how woke people hate geese lol . this angle is embarrassing. quit
>>129987997It seems like their success is rustling some feathers. Going to throw on Love Takes Miles and drown out the haters.
>>129988015you are literally the same as sabrina shills, and your bosses tell you to post pics at every chance to increase awareness lol i know your job, i have seen the scripts
>>129988024Ok whatever, keep crying about it m8. Geese chads keep winning
>>129987985aren't they jewish? and isn't a member both jewish and trans? how is that not woke?music is only good if it's rooted in reality, and i don't want to hear music made by people living in such denial
They don't even need the advertising at this point, haters will create endless threads on them either way
Y'ALL SO OUT OF SIGHT, OUT OF MINDI CAN'T EVEN THINK OF A GEESE LINEEEEE
Why's this one particular on /mu/ anon so obsessed with trashing Geese. If you think they're overrated or phony fine but this is autistic.
>>129988202Its kind of strange that we have threads about all the other bands mentioned in the article yet he isn't in those threads crying about how they are shills. I don't even know what in particular it is about geese that is setting him off
>>129985146based troonrockers
>>129988038>aren't they jewish? and isn't a member both jewish and trans? how is that not woke?unironically probably the best musicians I can think of are both jewish and trans t b h
>>129985299>>reddit spacingPeople were typing like that 20 years ago on 4chan. Reddit spacing is a fake complaint idiots trot out when they can't articulate any real criticism. Peep the old 4chan archives for yourself, playa https://archive.org/details/4chan_threads_archive_10_billion go look here if you don't believe it, bozo
>>129988244the most cucked thing is people writing long walls of text paragraphs and then not even doubling their linebreaks out of fear of the crowd bullying them for being reddit, which is funnily way more reddit than just using proper paragraph separation
>>129988202>implying there's only one person on this board who can see through this shit
>>129988233that quote isn't even real tho
>>129988257Seeing through what exactly? That their label is trying to promote them through advertisements? Isn't that what literally every major band is doing? The hate feels so forced.
>>129988264you're not real
>>129988202Stop gaslightingYou won't win
>>129988233>shitting on her real daughterlmao
>>129986837This one is so poorly drawn. Is there some rule that says a 'jak MUST have a pube beard? It's like how everyone complains about flatshit in design. These 'jaks are the same thing to memes. Minimalist in a way nobody could truly love. If you erase the pube beard the stupid James Rolfe glasses are the only thing that sticks out. Nobody looks like this so I don't know what you people are trying to imply when you reply to people with them anymore. I think you younger zoomers must think the pube beard is the literal height of comedy since it's so prominent in all of these 'jaks.
>>129985146It's not a fucking psyop, it's just astroturfed. Holy shit people are retarded. Do they even know what the fuck anything even means?
>>129988308Do you also think when we accuse someone of larping on an image board that we are implying they dress up and pretend to do sword fighting in a field? Not everything is literal. Learn how the English language functions and stop being an insufferable autist.
>coworker tries to tell me about this "cool new rock band Geese" and that I should check them out>get hit with the flouride stare when I try to explain to them that the hype is artificial and that they fell for a marketing scheme>ten minutes later overhear him having a conversation with someone else about them, completely ignoring what I saidIve lost faith in humanity, like lemmings running off a cliff.
i never listened to them because im brutally industry plant pilled trustfund maxxed and nepotism ascended
>>129988316And psyop doesn't work however you want, it isn't like you being gender fluid, you are simply a faggot ok.
>>129988548You can get mad at how people use language but you can't stop them. You're pissing upstream. Nobody likes a pedant. As native speakers of the English language it's our bitch.
even reddit is calling them a plant now
Kek I knew it, these guys stank of shill
>>129985146Faggot bandFaggot fans
>>129988562You should go back there
This feels like fake outrage. It feels like Geese is getting more exposure from people calling them out than they were getting from their own label. Don't you people have anything else to worry about?
>>129988233The tranny fad is officially over, even white women are sick of them. I guess it's over for Geese too. It's like poetry, it rhymes.
can we get a single thread where the accusation of shills doesnt Immediately draw a naysayer?who are you naysayers? how much more interaction with 4chan do you need to understand the accusation is gratis, if we dont need the accusation then we need the naysayer even lessthere is only a single valid motivation to be a naysayer after understanding this: you are a shill
>>129989441The same contrarian impulse that leads people to suspect things like this leads people to push back against them. In the old /b/ days these people would be the white knights trying to ruin raids.
you can buy the algorithm, see those Angine dorks
>>129985146I've listened to a little Geese and I'm not that impressed
>Le funni trumpet and gun!Am I wrong for judging an album by its cover?
Baskin roberts bots trust funded bots bandkek, it's kino!
>>129990272Same. Went in with no expectations. I didn't read anything about them before it.
I like how the singer did the old "this album was recorded entirely in a Guitar Center" lie about his solo album. It's obvious that these kids wouldn't get anywhere without lies and deception.
>>129990249it is kind of a stupid album cover yeah
>>129990249extremely tranny-coded album cover
>>129990481in what sense
>>129990540all senses
>>129990481I hadn't thought about it like that but that description is so apt
>>129990481>>129990540i honestly kinda see what you mean this weird aura of detachment & irony, the fourth-wall breaking of the gun pointed at the viewer, the weird ironic distance to the culture of gun violence -- a Tarantino movie would try to be violent for real, totally immersed in the reality of gunslinging, but this vibe has this endless pastiche, this, look at me i'm engaging with the meme of a gunslinger, it's gen Z coded, it's gecs-coded, it's tranny-coded
>>129990249POV you are a child attending a random Christian daycare
>>129985146Explain why the discourse around a shitty band nobody cares about "needs" to involve directionbrain faggotry.>>129985693It's easier to go after a genre that's not currently popular, anon.
>>129990825It’s a good object lesson in how leftists seek consensus which is why everyone bought the hype, it became evident that there was social power in “being a Geese fan.” Now that power is threatened so everyone’s saying they knew it was astroturfed all along and didn’t care.
>>129990743100 gecs are more artful than that (they're one of my favorite bands)
>>129990861sounds like you're describing death grips and 2010s /mu/
>>129987188Are the Euro shows also at festivals?
>oh no an indie band and a math rock briefly got some attention and it was le unearnedddddetheres a lot of whining but im struggling to care why its such a bad thing outside of the nepo baby stuff. If shitty pop and rap music has to compete with other genres in the mainstream again I fail to see how it's a bad thing overall
>>129990743meaningless word salad just to seethe about transpeople
Shouldn't the discussion be whether the music is good or not? I don't give a shit if their label is trying to advertise the band, thats common practice in the music industry.
Where can I get paid to post about Geese? Because I'm not right now and I want to
>>129990918Sure, it’s just how taste works
>>129990980It’s the way people who were saying this before GeeseGate were cruelly ignored, and the way the true believers are now trying to convince everyone they already knew, and didn’t care, the subtext being they’re too cool and savvy to care
>>129987188No one is going to a festival to see Geese. The only reason people see them at all is because they're playing only festivals.
>>129990998No he’s right. Another trans-coded element of the cover is its implicit threat to shoot you with a gun
Cameron won, /mu/ lost
>>129990822>>129991086underrated
>>129991018I got paid to attend one of their shows to make it seem like they had an audience through Chaotic Good. They might be more on the down low because of the controversy but its worth the try reaching out to them or one of the other agencies pushing them.
>>129987188>I went to their official site, and most (all) of their dates are during music festivals- you're not paying just to see themBingo.They're too scared to actually have their own show, as they know the popularity doesn't match the organic fans.I'm looking at comments on their tiktok and youtube and I can't help but think every positive comment is a bot now. They've ruined a a good fandom for extra clout.Fuck geese. They're whores for popularity.
>>129991177Two of the most fake, talentless pieces of shit. Makes sense they'd be together.
>>129985146maybe we should support ID verification after all. tired of being psyopped, bros...
>>129985146So I thought it was just a meme but the guitarist is a tranny>The band's name came from guitarist Emily Green's nickname "Goose".[3]That sentence made no sense at all because how do you get the nickname "Goose" from the name Emily GreenThen I saw a pic of "Emily" who is clearly a man so he must've trooned out at some point but because "deadnaming" is VERBOTEN on wikipedia there's no actual helpful info on the situationEventually I found some old Geese CD artwork where the guitarist is called "Gus Green" and suddenly it all made sense Gus = GooseFucking troon nonsense making everyone walk on eggshells so as not to cause offense I swear to god they do themselves no favors with this crap/rant
>>129991334>Fucking troon nonsense making everyone walk on eggshells so as not to cause offenseI respect trans people when they respect other people's ability to make mistakes.But in situations like this where the band's history is buried because it'd be an "offensive deadname", that's really weird.
>>129991334So this is why /mu/ is endlessly seething about this bands existence.
>>129991382Your post made something occur to me. What if trans people retained the services of a marketing firm to create a consensus of support for their nonsense?
>>129987093>Tame ImpalaHate to break it to you but they are also shilled by the same company. Do your part and call out any posts about these bands being shilled, its not just Geese
>>129991177Two of the most genuinely talented artists of today. Glad to see them together
>>129991432I knew that Childish Gambino thread that came out nowhere was suspicious.
>>129985675Same shit happened during the viral marketing on here for Panchiko, there are still retards on here that believe and even defend that bullshit story even when the inconsistencies are pointed out
>>129991432>The Haley spammer has been on a payroll this entire timeFucking called it
>>129991343Yeah it makes reading their bio a bit of a headscratcher, like there was an edit war and now there are bits missing>>129991382I know it's a total "Old man yells at cloud" post but inaccurate/misleading information really makes my autism flare upI regret nothing
>>129991334There's actually already a jam band called Goose
Anyone else notice how Geese posting has been dying down and then as soon as this article came out we have nonstop threads? Im starting to think the article itself is a pysop to get people talking about them again
>>129991334>(((Green)))Haha fuck I hate New York so much. I live in LA so it’s not much better here… but still.
>>129991672idk man your post seems kind of psyoppy to me bro
>>129985152I blame India
>>129985193>>129985206>>129985281lmao, idiots.
>>129990980People resent having bad products shoved down their throats and being gaslit that the obvious shilling is really organic word of mouth. It's an insult to our intelligence, which you'd understand if you had any.
>having an agency advertise your band is bad because.. it just is ok!!Welcome to capitalism, either you play the game or you seethe about the people who do.
>>129985146The conspiracy isn't that this is an exposé, but rather an advertisement for these services
>>129992267>but rather an advertisement for these servicesFuck. You're right. Now more zoomie bands with shitty vocalists are going to buy this marketing company's services and become the next Nirvana.
>>129992267why wouldnt you use the services>Become famous enough to play coachella and date Olivia Rodrigo>Downside is some incels online complain about you for a couple daysYoud be dumb not to
>>129992296>>Become famous enough to play coachella and date Olivia RodrigoI'm wondering if Olivia will see the controversy surrounding him and cut ties, kek
>>129992261Retarded Geese partisans don’t understand that you don’t need to have an issue with art being the domain of the rich per se. After all, this is how art has worked for centuries. What rankles about the Geese situation is that none of these fans or journalists were saying so BEFORE evidence of it was revealed, even though people with perception noticed that Geese were astroturfed and pointed this out. If they are so savvy and comfortable with the fact that all of their favorite music is manufactured, why were they denying it two weeks ago?
>>129992274But there’s less reason than ever not to suspect any random post on the internet is the voice of a paid bot
The real reason people here hate them is that they are Israel shills who hate the fact that the band is always speaking out against Israel and speaking up for Palestine.
We live in a time of great inauthenticity. Everything is fake. Literally no one heard of this Angine de Poitrine band a week ago but now they literally have Google giving them custom effects when you search for them? Give me a fucking break. Boomers didn't have to deal with these pysoped bands being shoved down their throats
>>129992536>Everything is fake. Literally no one heard of this Angine de Poitrine band a week ago but now they literally have Google giving them custom effects when you search for them?Just searched for them. They must have paid a large sum of cash to get that.I fucking hate this clown world. Nothing is real anymore. Pay to play.
>>129992536beatles were psyopped by CIA and tavistock institute t. knower

>>129992785>band was nothing until they're discovered by the right peopleuh yeah, that's how it works incel. did you think bands get made at the band factory?
>>129992358why? they obviously both had the same shilling campaign backing them
>>129992452No, I don't think so, jew. Most of the people I see attacking them on twitter are antifa trannies kek
>>129985146if it was a psyop, then /mu/ was most certainly complicit.
I thought you guys were shilling geese as a meme because there’s a literally tranny in the band. But of course /mu/‘s taste is unironically shit as usual
>>129993261We will always stand up for trans right here.
>>129993261the guy literally can't sing because he's busy putting on a fake affectation

lol
>>129993756Fantano confirmed a shill on the payroll
Still better than 90% of modern bands. I don't care if they have some tiktok videos promoting them
>>129993775He does it for free
>>129993756Not gonna watch his video, but the general comments against the article I'm seeing are "so their label promotes and advertises? big deal" from retards who don't understand what is happening or they're probably just other bots. Fully expect for his take to be just as stupid and defend this garbage band at any cost.
>>129993756Hes absolutely wrong. Labels SHOULDN'T be trying to advertise bands. What happened to grass roots movements like putting posters up on telephone poles in your local city?
>>129993854>Labels SHOULDN'T be trying to advertise bands.labels have been doing that since their inception. to pretend like it was any other way is just ignorance.
>>129994016Chaotic Good damage control has arrived. No, good labels don't do that, at most labels should try to get venues for the band to play at, not spamming tiktok video advertisements all over the fucking place so much so that you can't escape them.
>>129993756Common Fantano W
What bands aren't industry plants these days? Complaining about this is like pissing up a rope
>>129993756He's buttslamming the troon isn't he
>>129994271imagine not immediately quitting the band when this dude trooned out
>LeftistHe's a huge Trump shill who is constantly defending Israel.
>>129994203Why would people buy (increasingly expensive) tickets to see bands they haven't been exposed to? It's 2026, not 1972. The gig circuit approach is sadly history.
>>129994301They pay people to go to their shows. See>>129991203They don't even try to hide it.
>>129991432At least those other bands have talent.
Internet discourse has become pointless. If I express any opinion contrary to the local consensus, then I’m a bot or a shill. So what’s the point? Every place has its established opinion and that’s that. The only possible advice is to say: Listen to what you want, enjoy what you want. Ignore everything else. If there is some “controversy” or “discourse,” then you might as well just ignore it completely. The battle lines have already been drawn and they’re unmoving. /mu/ is just as likely to be astroturfed as reddit, twitter, tiktok, or anywhere else. It’s all fake.
To think this shitty p4k core type band with 0 melody and who are all fucking ugly and not marketable would be the next Nirvana or whatever the fuck was laughable from the beginning. Normies don't even give a shit about them
>>129994354I’m dying to know what normies think. Is there anywhere where I can read their takes on the new Morgan Wallen album? How bout that new Jelly Roll? I bet it’s really great.
>>129994304That's preposterous. Paid how? Free tickets, maybe, if there was some sort of showcase/launch. That anon has to provide some form of proof before I even begin to take him seriously.
>>129994353>then I’m a bot or a shill.Yes you are. And we now have proof
>>129994378It doesn’t matter. It’s not like 4chan dorks can do anything to stop it. What are you gonna do? Call them sellouts in the comments sections? Yeah, that’ll really make a difference.
>Wired is a leftist publication, so this isn't some dumb retarded rightoid bias conspiracy theory thingI's true because it's left, that's how it works? Yeah I'm thinkin >>>/r/ope
>>129994360Normies like The Strokes, The Strokes at least write melodies instead of trying to be a shitty Stones cover band with shitty noise rock shit incorporated into it to look like they are interesting
>>129994271There's nothing wrong with banging mentally ill men who think they're women. I mean we've all done it. It shows you're not bigoted and besides, everyone knows crazy people are great in bed. Also it can't be gay because they're wearing women's clothes.

>>129987966fagtasmo needs to rope, so tired of seeing that faggot on here
>>129994016>Labels SHOULDN'T be trying to advertise bands.That's literally the reason they exist, other than actually releasing music.
>>129994301>Why would people buy (increasingly expensive) tickets to see bands they haven't been exposed to?You keep defending Chaotic Good like they're advertising the band rather than using human psychology to convince you it's good>“If 100 people think your song sucks, Chaotic Good will create 200 people who think your song is awesome.”>Most people see a video or something about an album that came out, and that first comment they see becomes their opinion, even when they haven’t heard the whole album. It’s really important for us to make sure we’re ahead of it and controlling that narrative in the direction we want.THAT isn't normal advertising. That's psychological manipulation to convince people a band is good without even having to hear them.Normal advertising would be clearly sponsored videos saying to check out a band if you like x, y, or z music already.Chaotic Good makes fake fan accounts to shill the band without being clearly sponsored.>Essentially, the firm creates networks of social media pages (typically on TikTok) and uses them to drive the band’s music into the recommendation algorithm.If you believe that this is "Normal" advertising, you are a lost cause.

>>129985146 (OP)at the end of the day they're not a terrible band, just massively overhyped. All music marketing is, to a greater or lesser degree, a psyop by definition. people are just buttblasted that Geese's psyop worked better than a lot of other bands. And like all buttblast envy, it's rooted in the probably-true-but-totally-irrelevant truth that there are better bands more deserving of popular and pecuniary success.>>129993386same could be said for MAGA trash falling for the MAGA (((psyop)))

>>129987673
Geese is mid, not terrible not great. Certainly overhyped but if you listen they're not awful. Good enough rock n roll but I wouldn't really choose to listen to them over any other rock band.>>129987711>buh buh tranny!those obsessed with trannies are the ones who have ensured that the Geese psyop succeeds. all press is good press. The incessant /pol/ tourist MAGA trash screeching about trannies has helped a whole bunch of otherwise-mid artists (Cindy Lee, etc) ascend to enormous success. Which is clearly the plan all along:>>129987673>REEE JOOOOZ!LOL no wonder they were such a prominent part of the Coachella MAGA fundraiser. gotta keep supporting the $2-billion-a-day war with Iran for Israelhttps://popular.info/p/coachella-performers-are-funding
>>129998572Nah, they're far worse than mid because of the vocals. I can't even make it through a whole song of theirs with that insufferable noise.
>>129998572I tried listening to 3D Country and it was the most annoying shit I've ever heard. Tiktok slop in music form for zoomers who can't focus on one thing for longer than 15 seconds.
>>129985146This is just modern Payola. Same as it ever was.
>>129998853Geese fans are just so savvy and understand the music industry better than you chuds getting pressed over this. I thought it was so admirable how they all decided to announce that they know about online marketing on April 16, 2026
>>129998137Labels in the old days never did that, only ones in the currupt age of socialism do. Back in the 90s we would put up posters of our bands on telephone poles, not have robots making 1,000 tiktoks promoting the band
