"The common definition of an industry plant is an artist who has a Major/Indie Label backing their movement but presents themselves as a “home grown start up” label to create a pseudo organic following."  – Medium

 

We often criticize artists for being industry plants and use it in a negative, accusatory way but is it really that bad? Does ti really matter who is backing an artist?

If the music is good and the artist is a decent person I couldn’t care less about how ‘organic’ their origin in the industry is or who’s backing their career.

I'm not sure I understand the definition of industry plant but as an other member said, if the artist is good who cares if they do everything themselves or not:shrug:

Its basically just someone who presents themselves as self-made/independent but really have a huge label backing them

I don't think Ava Max is one, considering how long it took to finally make it and how many failed attempts she had behind her back.

 

OT I guess it's not a bad thing per se, there have always been prefabricated popstars and there will always be (coming from disney shows or whatever), but they should not pretend they are something else.

Most artists who are called "industry plants" had some material before becoming big

Different style, different name, then a complete change, big producers, big label and all of that
