How is she an "industry plant" if.... >she's been making music on her own since she was a kid >her brother is her only producer >she has openly gone against her label several times >her style of dress is clearly her own >her "payola" didn't get her a Top 10 hit until almost two years into her career >her music is much more experimental than anything on Top 40 radio, a kind of Portishead meets NIN meets Lorde which is highly unique given the existing pop landscape >she has never claimed to be anything she isn't ???
None of those points contradict industry plant, you know that right?
Gabriel Long
her music sucks
Asher Brooks
>still thinking Shillie is “self made” >still thinking her success was a fluke rather than the result of months of planning
Jose Reed
Actually they do. An industry plant is an artist who was created top-down by a label and fed to the public as if they were organic. Nothing about Billie indicates this, in fact one look into her background should prove she's the polar opposite.
Caleb Jackson
Not this shit again
Luis Lee
she's represented as self made, really nice that you wrote 100 lines that don't provide arguments against "industry plant" just to fill the space
Sebastian Clark
>her music is much more experimental than anything on Top 40 radio, a kind of Portishead meets NIN meets Lorde which is highly unique given the existing pop landscape Fucking kek, this industry plant wishes she was in anyway comparable to Portishead or NIN. Fuck off OP, you're just a waifufag who fell for the corporate shill's trap.
So what makes her a plant? What part of her music or image is controlled by the label? She and her brother own her masters since her brother is unsigned for christ's sake.

ACTUALLY she’s Kate Bush meets Merzbow meets Death Grips.
Noah Morgan
How is her image label-created if her only "team" is her brother?
Justin Wright
>Kate Bush meets Merzbow meets Death Grips. Cringe.
Robert Jenkins
Industry plant is an artists who claims that made it on its own but in fact they got huge shadow-support/advertising from label. She has parents and brother who have connection to music industry. Is that clear now or u're gonna continue shilling?
Adam Gutierrez
They don't at all. If she's an industry plant, her, her brother, her label, will lie about anything, and present her a certain way to keep up the facade. Wearing stupid clothes, going against her label, none of that stuff can be proven to not be part of the lie.
As I said, none of those contradict her as an industry plant. To be fair though, you can't really prove most artists aren't industry plants.
Liam Edwards
She had a song go viral online, Interscope signed her early on because THAT'S HOW LABELS PROFIT MOST FROM NEW ARTISTS. She isn't a typical pop star. She isn't sexualized. She doesn't have a team of writers and producers giving her generic junk to sing, she and her brother create everything together without anyone else's input. There's nothing suspicious about any of that.
If she was a plant her label would dictate everything for her, which they clearly don't.
Thomas Anderson
That's the whole point of working behind an industry plant, is so they don't seem like it. That user defending her is in denial.
William Williams
>>her music is much more experimental than anything on Top 40 radio, a kind of Portishead meets NIN meets Lorde which is highly unique given the existing pop landscape It's mumble rap just with ASMR instead of autotune.
Isaiah Howard
And how would you know that? Are you suggesting there's some kind of conspiracy behind her to make her successful?
>her music is much more experimental than anything on Top 40 radio, a kind of Portishead meets NIN meets Lorde which is highly unique given the existing pop landscape Don't ever compare Portishead or Trent to this cunt.
ofc bro, major label just signed up some random 16 year old girl off ONE single, that sound right, I guess she is self-made after all
Jonathan Miller
>If she was a plant her label would dictate everything for her, which they clearly don't. HOW DO YOU KNOW? That's my whole point. If her and her label wants to keep up the facade that she's genuine and not a plant, of course they're going to tell her to go against them/to rebel and say she's completely real. Doing that keeps up the act.
You do realize that's what actual, proven industry plants and people who had ghost writers did right? They acted out against their label and were outspoken about being real, yet it was just an act.
You can't say for sure she isn't a plant anymore than I can say she is. We don't know her or her label personally.
Ryder Bailey
She’s perfect plant material from a label’s perspective. Industry kids are easy to plant since they’re much less of a risk. She’s cute and resonates well with teen girls for the same reasons Melanie Martinez did.
Michael Campbell
oh yea, they are also randomly found it on youtube, how lucky is she? huh insane, i guess all the hard work paid off in the end(16 years old)

How is Lil Nas X an industry plant if... >he's a gay black cowboy, literally one of the most stigmatized identities out there >old town road got removed from the country charts based on nothing but racism >he had a huge social media presence which was 100% self-made before he released OTR >his music is much more experimental than anything in modern hip hop, literally Garth Brooks meets Future meets NIN given that OTR was based on a NIN sample >he has never claimed to be anything he isn't
Adrian Long
The fact she tries to go against her label, but either can’t or faces consequences for doing so, is even MORE proof she’s a plant. Kate Bush went against EMI early in her career because she had the musical expertise and could manage to do so. Shillie has absolutely nothing.
Angel Lee
>Shillie has absolutely nothing. She has her brother (who is unsigned) which is what matters.
Aiden Clark
You can't really deny the influence of trip-hop, industrial, and noise/ambient in her production.
Tyler Wood
He doesn’t own the masters, idiot. That’s not how music producing works. Interscope owns this girl and can destroy her in an instant if need be.
Adam Gray
No one blows up on social media without some kind of industry backing, especially not in today's day.
Hudson Gutierrez
so fucking what if she's a plant or not, all that should matter is if her music is good or not
Jackson Campbell
There are still reasons to be against planting.
Brody Taylor
>>she has openly gone against her label several times Example? >her "payola" didn't get her a Top 10 hit until almost two years into her career That's fine. Payola is still illegal and unethical >a kind of Portishead meets NIN meets Lorde How is that Experimental?
Nathaniel Jackson
So everyone who’s big on social media has “industry backing”? What does that even mean
Christopher Bennett
Yes you've totally exposed her, the label is tearing apart her contract as of right now and calling her to say that her career is over. You got her dude, she's done..Now go back to your shitty dead-end 9-5 with this false sense of accomplishment that you've wrecked a young girls career driving your shitty subaru forester that has the right ball joint going out,to an apartment that you can just barely afford.
Unironically, kys. This isn't music made for you, and you don't need to be listening to it, and judging it like it's some high art. It's just pop music, nothing more, nothing less...
