Industry plantcore.
I love my wife!*grinds on trannies*Wait no, LOL.
Aubrey, moments before attending the producer gangbang party.
>>131433859*filled with CREAM in your path*
>>131433819*plagiarizes Noah Kahan*
>>131433819i'd "plant" my "industry" in her "core" if you catch my drift ;-)
>>131433819
All of gen Z is an industry plant
>>131433819No idea who that is>>131433833Correct>>131433859Correct>>131433906Picture for ants can't see shit>>131434051Correct
>>131434151>t. worthless faggot
>>131434169Lol did I insult your favorite slop singer? Deal with it.
>>131433833This guy is so fucking ugly.
>lisaThis bitch literally has the same spotify streams as p diddy or niche stuff like esdeekid, but you still have to see her everywhere (worldcup, oscars, grammys, fashion shows). Hopefully she just fades into obscurity since she broke up with her kike LVHM heir boyfriend who basically bankrolled her whole career>she does have nice feet
>>131434151>No idea who that isidk either, but she could try sliding those pants down just a little bit more
Stella Lefkofsky[1] was born on August 13, 2002,[2] and was raised in Glencoe, Illinois, before relocating to Los Angeles, California.[3][1] Her father is multi-billionaire Eric Lefkofsky, a co-founder of Groupon who is also the founder and CEO of health technology company Tempus AI and media advertising company Mediaocean, among others.[4]
>>131433916It's the best part kek.
>>131434485Ordinarily, I think claims like this are unwarranted; but the melodies for both choruses are virtually identical, and Stella covered "Stick Season" dozens of times on TikTok before she put out "Boston".The song isn't even five years old! How is it even possible to be this shameless? People would've given her way less shit for this if she just credited Noah from the beginning.
>>131434051very obvious one too
>>131435265She should rip off Shape of You next.
>>131434051>high school band from 2016>4 albums in the last 8 years>last one is the only one to chart, after they hire a publicistyeah they're all rich art kids from brooklyn but no offense this wasn't an overnight explosion. their self-made tour posts from 2 years ago have <1k views.
>>131434051The *original* Geese.
>>131434416Literally every kpop act is an industry plant. They make '90s boy bands look like '60s rock bands.
>>131434051>>131435449you realize true industry plants would not write and perform their own songs right?
>>131435727I don't know about Geese but The Strokes were pushed SO hard. Covers of Spin, Rolling Stone, guy wearing their shirt in Transformers. I loved their music, but they were on all the late night shows, everywhere in the world EXCEPT the radio. The media tried really fucking hard to make The Strokes a thing. Again, I like their music, but they were hyped as fuck and didn't ever get big. I'm in my 40's now and have never witnessed a harder industry plant rock band than The Strokes.
>>131435475I know, Im just hate seeing lisa being pushed everywhere when shes so fucking irrelevant. Atleast billie eillish and cardi b have waaaay more monthly listeners. Lisa is stuck at 12m which is pathetic for someone “they claim” is as big as her.
Her family paid David Gilmour to make her famous
>>131435727Well in that case Geese wouldn't count because Cameron's lyrics are too idiosyncratic for them to be anything but his own, but The Strokes would definitely count for resorting to AI on their latest album
>Just happens to have a rich friend in the music industry that can produce their albums and pay for the bands rent
>>131435727This isn't how it works. Just because you're an industry plant doesn't mean you don't have a creative drive whatsoever. Even Taylor Gayle got a writing credit, and she's every bit as obvious an industry plant as Stella Lefty:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ABCDEFU
>>131435981that is what happens when you sing about anne frank
>>131435773It helps when your Epstein-affiliate father literally invented the supermodel.
>>131435727That's not what that means.
>>131435981actual plants, they managed to trick everyone into thinking theyre some random poor indie band, theyre good though
I think Florence Welch was too but she’s pretty
>>131435981this website gets more retarded every day. "yeah the band that didn't get popular for almost a decade after their second release and whose music we have demo tracks for that are 5+ years old and famously couch surfed all their tours and was part of the most famous indie music collective was crafted by executives"Who are you saying was the rich friend in the music industry, because if it's Schnieder they went to high school together, and he was just regular rich from his dad, no music connections.
>>131435773the Strokes came out during the era of nu metal and other shitty shit, they really badly wanted to push a band that at least looked upscale and not trailer park tier
>>131438688They literally received industry help, how is that not the definition of being industry plants
>>131434416Sir, LISA is sexy, so we don't disrespect her here.
>>131435773The funniest part of this was the critical establishment whining about the Killers just being a Strokes clone band and their music resonating more deeply with people without all the tryhard shilling, just good old demand on the radio.
>>131438814from who, retard? their record company they signed with? "they sold records" isn't what "industry plant" means
>Dad was a huge TV producer and they got started from him using their songs in his shows>Talks nonstop about being independent, self-made, and working hard to get to where they are
>was given half a million dollars to make loveless when they were a band that came out of nowhere and only had one previous albumNot saying they are industry plants but its really suspicious how they were basically given all the support they needed by the music industry
>>131438853They were pushed by someone in the industry ie Schneider who financed and promoted them. What the fuck does industry plant even mean to you, go ahead and define it
At that time there was a lot of nostalgia for the CBGB's era NYC scene and the press wanted to imagine the Strokes were a continuation of that scene, but the music was lame because the city had changed, during the Giuliani years it became a nice, clean, safe tourist-friendly place, nice to visit but didn't make for compelling music.
They were literal whose playing in dive bars in hamburg before Epstein made them superstars
>>131438892If he had so much power why didn’t he just give music careers to all those girls in Miami? I’m sure they’d have stayed quiet about everything if he’d made all of them as big as he made the Beatles
The entire band was fabricated by warhol and given a german model just to make them more popular. There is a reason why it was called the Factory
>>131438836who is this?
>>131438902>The entire band was fabricated by warholNot actually true. Your attempt and contrarian revisionism is purile
not gonna say rich kids didn't always exist and that there wasn't a James Taylor and a Carly Simon
literally all of PC music. Might as well call it nepotism music.AG Cooks dad is a famous architectDanny Harles dad is a musician in the industryGFOTYs dad is a famous businessman etc etc
>>131438932>In 1966, pop artist Andy Warhol became their official manager. They served as the house band at Warhol's studio, The Factory, and performed with his traveling multimedia show, Exploding Plastic Inevitable, from 1966 to 1967.>Andy Warhol became the band's manager and suggested they use the German-born singer Nico (born Christa Päffgen) on several songs. Warhol's reputation helped the band gain a higher profile.But sure they aren't industry plants ;)
>>131438868Who the fuck did Schneider know in the industry? He had money, he was a music nut, he had a bunch of high school friends that made music together so he started his own record label so they could distribute music. He literally started from the bottom and their decades-long fight to any public awareness by definition was not part of any industry. Just because it's your first day on the internet and they're established now doesn't mean it happened overnight.An industry plant is when an established company artificially boosts a musician (usually a nepo baby but not always) with money through marketing, paid for demand, and established production while presenting them as indie/home grown/sporadic "discovered talent".
>>131438956Schneider is the industry, how the fuck do you not count someone with a recording label and access to studios/being able to pay for their recordings as not being part of the music industry?
>>131438956>an established company artificially boosts a musician with money through marketing,Isn't the whole point of a label to market a band? With that logic you can dismiss literally every band signed to a label as being plants
>>131435727Geese is so terrible that it would be less embarrassing if they didn't write or perform it.
>>131438983>the guy working out of his bedroom with his friends whose dad is a college professor is the same as the billion dollar corporationshow does one not be an industry plant if your asinine criteria is "used a studio and released under a label"
as anon said, a lot of boomer rockers would have qualified as trust fund kids by the modern definition.
>>131438943They actually had success do to Molech magic by castrating and sissifying Sophie, then killing him in Greece.
>>131439053No?? Most boomer rockers were working class. Im sure you could find a couple if you looked hard enough but back then most bands were legitimate
>>131439027Billy Eilish worked out of her bedroom with her brother yet is one of the biggest examples of an industry plant. That argument doesn't work
>>131435727The rumors are that the Strokes stole their whole first album. Look into it.
Its hard to find artists from the past 20 years that aren't plants. Even the soundcloud era rappers came from well off backgroundsLil Tracy - Dad was literally in the music industryLil Peep - Rich family, parents were university professorsXXXtentacion - Rich familyYung Lean - Dad was a Nobel prize winnerBones - Came from a family of hollywood actors
>>131439092>married famous actor/muscians couple spending their millions on advertising for overnight success on their kids is the same as Elephant 6's decades long campaign for successyou are a disingenuous retard and you should kill yourself
>>131439114why didn't they steal something worth listening to
>>131439136kek
>>131435972>Talented songwriter and singer gets noticed by a fellow musician>"hurr durr shes an industry plant"you people are morons. They are only industries plants if the bands themselves have no talent, otherwise there is nothing wrong with promoting them
>>131438836Kpop gooners need to be shot
>>131439080>Jim Morrison>son of an admiral>Grace Slick>ex-fashion model>David Crosby>rich kid from SoCal>James Taylor>Carly SimonSee previous>Keith RichardsGrandfather was a politician.
>>131438953>"I ain't no queer Andy, but I *do* have what it takes to be a star."
>>131439130most of the 90s rappers were middle class thespians too, they weren't real street thugs
>>131433819She is so hot man she is totally that ending of the apocalyptic zombie movie final girl who uses her shotgun to barely be the final survivor.
It started happening with country too starting in the 80s. Reba McEntire's father was a wealthy rancher.
A lot of the CBGB's bands were also trust fund kids.
>>131439252None of these remotely count aside from Grace, and even her not really, since the media industry wasn't integrated nearly to the extent it is today.Shocker of shocks, success tends to run in families! Successful people tend to produce kids who are likelier to have traits that will lead *them* to success as well.
>>131439261Legit I'm not even mad at her success because she's so hot and succeeding in a genre that's been totally inauthentic for the better part of half a century, and which has never been more authentic than the now. She's like a more attainable Gracie Abrams.
i remember Cuckgau said he did a study of pre-Beatles musicians backgrounds and found that while many of the GI Generation ones were from middle class backgrounds, the Silent Generation ones (that included the early rockers) tended to be poor. He did not look into musicians who were primarily known as covers artists so that excluded people like the Chordettes.
>>131439254Next to Kanye West, this is downright wholesome. *And* heterosexual.
>>131439311*more IN-authentic
>>131439312Teresa Brewer was not entirely dissimilar to Taylor Swift in how she started.
>>131434173Another one. Her dad was a petroleum engineer.
>>131439441You mean a normal job that gave her zero industry connections?And here I thought Lipstick Alley had a low-IQ userbase.
it's a bit funny how some people said Chappell Roan was a plant (her dad was a veterinarian in a flyover state town somehow makes her a plant?)
>>131439441>Her dad was a petroleum engineer.so just having an employed family member means you're an industry plant, now?what the shit does a petroleum engineer have to do with the recording industry? what contects could he possibly have lol
>>131433833No amount of DEI is enough to make up for an I.Q. below triple digits.
>>131434416>>131438836>>131438913i like a handful of her songsnew woman was good
>>131440191you guys always said Taylor Swift was a plant. how tf does her dad owning a Christmas tree farm make her a plant?
>>131440723>father literally sows seed to grow plants for a living>father sowed seed in Taylor’s mom>somehow Taylor is not a plantAre you retarded or something?
>>131440723he was later some bank executive or something
>>131435773The strokes were actually good tho
>>131439416fuck you Mitchfaggot
>>131435981By your standards, virtually every musician ever is/was an industry plant. Stop being retarded.
>>131440831That still gave him no industry connections. It wasn't like Stella Lefty where he could just buy his daughter a top-ten hit right away.
Carly Simon [Elektra, 1971]Since affluence is an American condition, I suppose it makes sense not only for the privileged to inflict their sensibilities on us, but for many of us to dig it. Too bad, though. It's OK for "That's the Way I've Always Heard It Should Be" to voice a cliché, but not with that calculated preciosity and false air of discovery. If Carly's college friends are already old enough to have alienated their children, her self-discovery program is a little postmature anyway. C−
>>131433819yeah dude we're like, so fucking punk it hurts
Every member of Genesis was a posh twat.
>>131440900Back then you were still allowed to call them out.
The Boswell Sisters were America's first real pop stars and they were rich brats, their family were some kind of Louisiana aristocrats.
>>131439416her father was a factory foreman and the family would have been middle class at best, and it was the fucking Depression
>>131441058I can't think of anyone from the 50s-60s that could be described as a plant. Even the lowest teen idol sloppa acts like Fabian were discovered organically.
>>131440869It’s like when you start exploring how many music industry people are Zionists and it loops back around to you just plain old (((noticing))) with extra steps.
Miles Davis, dude was rich. Monk ridiculed him for not being "street" enough.
>>131439272Yet still, that didn't mean he had any industry connections.
>>131441058No. I meant in the sense that her mother groomed her for a singing career from childhood. Still, that's not fair to use Swift comparisons. I mean, Petula Clark was also a child star on the BBC but her father was a Welsh coal miner and she was anything but rich.
>>131439252Jim Morrison yes but the others you listed are B tier rock acts. Like I said if you look hard enough you can find a few but the majority werent
>>131441289>Keith Richards>B-tier rock actwhat
>>131440082She literally came out of nowhere and all her music was written and produced by the same Swedish guy who writes Olivia Rodrigez music
>>131440869>virtually every musician ever is/was an industry plantYes. At least after the 80s a good 90% of bands are plants
>>131441196>many music industry people are ZionistsName 5
>>131441360>Yes. At least after the 80s a good 90% of bands are plantsKorn were from shithole Bakersfield, they weren't rich or plants at all.
>>131441324I only know him as Keef, I didn't recognize his government name
>>131441378Im sure if I looked into it I would find they were plants but they could be the 10%
I feel like no one gives a shit about 2hollis anymore but its worth mentioning that his dad was a big figure in the music industry. Same with Sematary Haunted Mound
>>131441289Morrison's family disowned him, they had nothing to do with his success at all.
>>131441389>me when the ATF agent asks me about Keith Cozart’s whereabouts
Bonnie Raitt is another that comes to mind. She was also born rich, went to university, and was descended from Scottish nobility.
>>131441428Thats bullshit, another one of Jim's tall tales to disguise his priveledged upbringing. His dad was literally the head navy commander of the US navy and the one who literally started the vietnam war when he opened fired on that civilian fishing vessel. In order to repay him they made his son famous.
you're right that most boomer country singers grew up poor, often really poor, though Willie Nelson would have been middle class; his father owned a pool hall and was a self-employed business owner.
>>131441513owning a small town pool hall in Depression-era Texas doesn't really make you rich
If you want a classic industry plant, Lenny Kravitz.
>"how do you do fellow working class man, heh we need socialism in this country, am I right fellow poor people">meanwhile he was raised in an upper class family, the son of a businessman who was one of the landlords with the most land in Oklahoma and also had great political influence
>>131441643>pinko wants to radically alter society because he wishes dad gave him his whole trust fund at once
>>131441667i assumed it was white guilt because his uncle participated in a famous lynching
>>131441679Please don’t make me start liking Woody Guthrie
>>131441679was the lynching of Laura Nelson and her son in 1911 for murdering a police officer. Guthrie also recalled seeing lynching postcards for sale in Tulsa in his childhood.
>>131441679His dad. He also participated in the gang rape
>>131438861It was a money laundering scheme that unexpectedly yielded a cult hit. I think the record company's owner went to the can for some fiscal fuckery a bit later.
>>131441776But enough about NY City Councilman Yusef Salaam
>>131434416her group was popular and successful before she started dating him thoughever
>>131435727The Strokes are an indie boyband created by their record label, like most rock bands of that era in English-speaking countries. No need to be in denial about it.
Country music has had nepo babbies since way back.
>>131439272>country singer's parent was a farmer/rancherMakes them more authentic. Like a rapper with a king pin dad.
>>131443052Aside from Roseanne Cash, none of them amounted to anything.
Nobody's posted Olivia Rodrigo and the Linda Lindas which are the most blatant fairly recent ones?>>131439092People think plant = has rich parents. Having rich parents helps (and Eilish wasn't poor by any means) but all it takes is some marketers and and record jews to decides X or Y is who's getting pushed because they seem them as marketable. Rodrigo has rich parents (not mega-wealthy but millionaire therapist dad in a reasonably well off area of California) who pushed her into show business from the time she could walk. I would bet that her dad had some clients either in the business or who knew people who were. Once she's in, execs see her as someone who can be fit into whatever mold they want to cast her in for maximum marketability: ethnically ambiguous to appeal to large swaths of people, pretty enough to be marketable but not so much that she seems intimidating.So they hit on the idea of marketing her as the "girl next door indie kid" like a prettier Lorde except by giving her the best songwriters and producers they can find so she doesn't end up a one hit wonder like Lorde. She didn't need to be the child of industry execs to get to where she was, she just had parents who were pushing her to be in entertainment and by the time she was in middle school it was decided that she would be groomed to be a big star.
>>131439130You're basically not getting anywhere in the industry anymore without being able to afford production equipment and marketers. It's the same everywhere. Athletics used to be a way for poor kids to get out of poverty, now you have to be able to dedicate all your times to travel teams and the best equipment which means the poor kids can't afford it, only the upper-middle class and wealthy ones. Everything is becoming a rich person's game.
>>131443541There is a big difference between having parents who make $500k a year and having parents who make $500k a day.
>>131443590t. champagne socialist
>>131443541Olivia isn't a plant because she's never pretended to not be a product of the Disney machine.
>>131443598Is there any other kind?
>>131433819Castle Rat. Singer's dad was a studio guitarist/songwriter connected to Julian Lennon, Alice Cooper, Joan Jet, and others and she tried and failed as a pop-rock solo act several years ago.
Courtney Love's father was the fucking Grateful Dead tour manager. It doesn't get more nepo than that.
>>131440889Taylor Swift was neighbors with Jeff Jarrett and babysat his kids and Jeff Jarrett was a big country star, slapnuts.
>>131433819>absolutely no mentions of Phoebe Bridgers or Maggie RogersWhat the fuck, /mu/?
The blonde girl's dad is literally the Born Slippy guy
>>131443573The kind of poverty we had back in those days doesn't even exist anymore.
Its called astroturfing, hiding your corporate sponsorship and pretending you got big from grassroots. There is literally nothing wrong with a band openly accepting a label and having the label market them, that is literally the job of a label
>>131444479This'd explain why Kurt got with that slag.
>>131445391Man why did I never get a cool photo like this I am even from a White family this is like if a Game of Thrones family had a camera.
After reading this thread I’ve come to the conclusion this is the only band ever that was not an industry plant, they are also the greatest band ever so it makes sense.
>>131441427>his dad was a big figure in the music industryI imagine his mother being a publicist that started a record label with Skrillex helped a lot more. Dunno if his dad being in Tortoise counts as being a "big figure". More a "medium figure".
If you're not a retard you'll know that every famous musician ever is an industry plant and a freemason.
>>131449873Literally who?
>>131449873Fugazi are the greatest band ever but Ian's dad was a Washington Post reporter and I think the others were also from (upper-)middle class backgrounds too. Dunno how much of a leg up that gave them other than start up money for Dischord and being able to afford to sell tickets for $5.
Nicolette Larson>talentless skank whose father was a glownigger>she also fucked and sucked Neil Young for a momentary and totally non-deserved recording career>died in her 40s of drug abuse
>>131450093Anon, I don’t think they needed money for Discord. What, Nitro subscriptions? Most homes didn’t even have a desktop computer in them when the band formed, let alone the high speed internet needed for something like Dischord.
>>131450129
>>131450093They played shows at school gymnasiums for free and worked at sandwich shops and shit, their money came from album sales, albums they pressed themselves in the Dischord house.
I have to wonder just who Steve Lawrence had incriminating photos of because how could he possibly have lasted as long as he did?
>>131433819I feel like the term trust fund baby is too broad. Having a literal billionaire dad and having parents that were doctors or something are not remotely the same thing. The latter means you grew up comfortable, the former means you have infinite money to literally buy success
>ITT: musicians who had dad's who werent unemployed
>>131450867No you don’t understand on chud incel nu-/mu/ if you weren’t raised by rats in a sewer and got your start recording yourself shitting your pants then you’re an industry plant and a nepo baby.
like anon said, the old guard of country music grew up dirt shit poor. Johnny Cash picked cotton when he was a kid. i'd bet $10 that that "Choosin' Texas" bitch is the niece of a Nashville music executive.
>>131453140Yeah she’s definitely the daughter of a US senator, I’m from Alabama and her hometown is incredibly affluent and opulent it’s disgusting honestly. “Choosin Texas”? More like “Choosin BBC” lol
>>131450093A reporter for a newspaper, even a major paper, is an entirely normal relatively modest paying job.And it should not be surprising people smart enough to be reporters for major papers have children who are smart enough to be professional musicians. This is entirely normal and expected.
>>131441513>Lynn was born Loretta Webb on April 14, 1932, in Butcher Hollow, Kentucky, the oldest daughter and second child of Clara Marie "Clary" (née Ramey; May 5, 1912 – November 24, 1981) and Melvin Theodore "Ted" Webb (June 6, 1906 – February 22, 1959). Ted was a coal miner and subsistence farmer. Lynn had one older sibling, Melvin "Junior" Webb (1929–1993), and six younger siblings: Herman Webb (1934–2018), Willie "Jay" Lee Webb (February 12, 1937 – July 31, 1996), Donald Ray Webb (1941–2017), Peggy Sue Wright (née Webb; born March 25, 1943), Betty Ruth Hopkins (née Webb; born 1946), and Crystal Gayle (born Brenda Gail Webb; January 9, 1951). The family claims Cherokee heritage on Lynn's mother's side, but they have not been officially recognized by the tribe. Lynn was named after the film star Loretta Young.>Loretta's father, Ted, died at age 52 from a stroke four years after relocating with her mother and younger siblings to Wabash, Indiana. He had also been battling black lung disease at the time of his death.That's the real shit.
>>131453953as he tried explaining above, that degree of poverty doesn't really exist anymore (no, growing up in a trailer park still isn't anything like poor in this sense)
>>131442988Julian is a generational talent though, rich or not. Him writing all the music on the first two albums at the age of 21 or whatever is crazy.
Mac Demarco is a freemason
>>131435981am i supposed to know who these guys are
