if they're gay they're probably an industry plant

Young and attractive people who suddenly collaborate with a ton of famous artists quickly

music that sounds like shit

and
obnoxious youtube comments
>YAAAS SLAAAAY KWEEN

if Yea Forums doesn't like it and it's popular, it's a plant

Shit yet suddenly popular out of nowhere

everything you don't like is an industry plant

>*cough cough* Post Malone

Previously starring on a kids show, or having any kind of young acting career

Easy

>Record deal before solid singles
>Huge production and songwriter team behind all the hits
>Early features with popular artists
>Enormous hype before even releasing the first album
>Major music websites publishing a lot of interviews with disproportionate praise
>Out of sudden lots of songs on standard spotify playlists
>A Made up or inconsistent backstory
>Sudden change of an aethestic style which didn't fit in line with artist previous behaviours

Baby Goth and Billie Eillish are prime examples

Telltale Signs of an Industry Plant: A Field Guide

1) Under 18 years old

2) Family connection to the industry

3) Some kind of identity gimmick (LGBT, biracial, disabled etc...)

4) Aggressive “fans” (shills) who attack people for critiquing the plant

5) Features with already established performers

6) Universal praise from music reviewers

7) Promoted through industry channels like YouTube, Apple Music or Spotify

being really good looking is the most blatant one

only true about the females, the male plants are usually ugly

t.raury

look for a major label, an advertisement, PR Firm, family connection or social media shilling

Are they though?

i dont think post malone is a plant to be honest, i dont really like his music but i dont think he had any real connections to the industry

Is Phil Collins and industry plant?

The way he blew up from white ivreson is weird but a lot of white teens and young adults really actually like his shit. And he's not close to being the worst currently relevant pop musician right now. I don't think hes a plant or if he is he'll get a pass from me for actually having an somewhat organic, non-toxic fanbase.

I'd say disigner was a plant so yeah.
