Title: Can anyone explain the term "Industry plant" to me plz?
Post by: Purple Moon on January 30, 2020, 05:50:05 PM
According to some posts on here, the following artists are recent industry plants:

- Lizzo
- H.E.R.
- Billie Eilish
- Camilla Cabello?
- Tori Kelly?

Why do y'all think anyone would try to shove these people down our throats?

Isn't that what a good label/ management team should do for an artist they believe in? Is this always related to some kind of agenda (e.g. the body positivity movement with Lizzo)?

I wouldn't count any of those as industry plants (except maybe FATzo) but Lil Nas X is one for sure.

I think it originated when people became aware that there were artist posing as indie artist but they were really backed by a major. Of course, people just started using outside of that context when they couldn't comprehend how someone who wasn't on their personal radar became successful.

Tori Kelly is definitely not an industry plant.

yes.

but industry plants are basically puppets. over-hyped & lie about their come-up to cover up how they are where they're at.
