Dazed Magazineさんのインスタグラム写真 - (Dazed MagazineInstagram)「This week, rock band @pictureparlour_ faced an online backlash for being an ‘industry plant’ – but while there are problems with how the music industry decides which artists to promote, success isn’t always an elaborate conspiracy.⁠ ⁠ While it has no fixed definition, “industry plant” is generally agreed to describe a situation where a new artist or band pretends to be independent, all the while secretly enjoying financial backing and industry support. ⁠ ⁠ The charge has been leveled at a number of commercial artists, including #LanaDelRay and #BillieEilish but an element of deception is key – it would be a redundant way of describing an obviously manufactured boyband. Instead, it’s about an artist being marketed in a cynical and inauthentic way, which is partly why it inspires such indignation: no one likes to be taken for a fool. ⁠ ⁠ Read "in defence of industry plants" through the link in our bio 🔗⁠ ⁠ ✍️ @jamesduncangreig」6月22日 23時28分
