a lot of artists do this it's just scandalous cus artists in op are selling the illusion of authencity

There is a difference between going viral and your career popping off

Going viral on your own still happens and is still possible, tho it's never been as common as you might think

But your entire thing popping off at once out of nowhere is almost always being pushed by something

yea
shouldn't be legal to make fake fanpages tho

What do you think the commonalities are between the indie sleaze revival and hyperpop that make them prime for this kind of fake digital marketing? Other than the fact that they are both dogshit

theyre pushing underscores on us now all the same way

Peter Thiel money

underscores recent media campaign has been crazy

she's doin a bunch of appearances n s***

good music

roots in modern internet capitalist culture

keep being useful big bro

If the songs r good idc tbh and it's probably not even connected to the artists themselves it's just label shenanigans

Yeah I was wondering perhaps naively if the artists themselves know about this

cameron winter is the most obvious marketing op ive seen in the last few years and im p sure his parents are execs? or generally well off?

I mean they probably aren't completely left in the dark about it if it's this widespread

But I doubt it's something they are handling themselves

And if it's something that literally everyone else is doing it would be foolish for them to put their foot down or something

i will say that i've been listening to jane remover since she released her first ep (i was at the discord listening party). i heard lucy bedroque during his lostrushi era. underscores when she was part of six impala.

this whole time i thought they blew up organically it's prob both but having a machine behind you def helps. now for others that seemingly came out of no where im just like wtf man

Thank you for your contribution

The average person is barely touching 2% of the internet, if that

There are many sites for many things that many people don't know - if it's not on the very clear surface web such as the social media, then you either have to come across it by accident (which you can easily make your site hard to find) or you have to have direct knowledge about it existing which usually comes from someone else to you

The corporatizing of the internet into just 10 sites for the average person has made most of the internet "concealed" unless youre a huge web surfer or have direct access

Tbf to them I wouldnt have knew about that Geese album without them and that s*** is tough

They turned the internet into the damn mall

Can’t wait for this s*** to die next

This

OP s*** stirring for what

Someone should make something blatantly terrible and pay them to do this I think it would be funny

It's a really interesting philosophical question because it's like, should we be mad if money is being spent on what many of us would agree is good music?
