The allegation is Geese used a sophisticated bot army and swarms of fake social media accounts to shill the band constantly all over the internet for months, creating their eventual success

what matters is what comes out of the speakers. clearly somebody likes it because tickets for their tour are selling like hotcakes.

Prove that Clairo did any of that. Obviously she must've had her dad help her with production costs initially, but I am somewhat skeptical that she had any serious inorganic marketing going on. I think it was just the quality of the videos and how she looked mainly

A lot of musical preference and actual neural processing of sound-over-time can be greatly influenced by cultural factors that can be heavily shifted by shilling, memes, psyops, and other such things
But, yes, I don't think it matters that much if a band gets shilled if the band actually has enough real appreciators. Da Vinci would still be a good painter even if he had paid people to astroturf his reputation. It's just funny

IDGAF why I like it, I just do (or don't). Why chuddies constantly snivel about "nepo baby" "trust-fund kid" "industry plant" etc etc etc it beyond me.
how pathetic is it if you're filtered by that shit? (or conversely, how pathetic is it if you like a band simply because you haven't detected any of the economic forces promoting them?)

I agree with you. I like some bands that possibly were shilled (possibly only shilled organically by adoring fans and not paid marketers, but, still). It doesn't really matter unless the shilling is so deceptive or egregious that the marketers are actually being kind of evil, but even then that wouldn't affect my opinion of the music itself. I'm Jewish but I still like and listen to Kanye's music, for example, and what he said/did is worse than even the worst case scenario of Geese's shilling and astroturfing.
You're gonna need some Lostprophets-tier stuff to lose me

To be fair Lorde's producer did shill "Royals" here to get feedback on the track, but before it was released so she wasn't very famous yet
Poppy's crazy ex-producer/stalker Titanic Sinclair admitted to (and very obviously was) shilling her here and on other boards and altchans for years as well, but also before she was super well-known
I think a few now-popular electronic musicians used to post here or might still occasionally, but not to shill themselves, probably just to argue with or insult people I would guess (like most 4channers spend all their time doing). Same for YouTubers and /tv/ and other places

Love this active discouragement of trying to engage in honest discourse over the obvious shill campaigning and psyop. “Theyve done this since forever!!!” - not to this extent. “Nobody actually cares!!!” -Clearly a lot of people do care. “Shut up chud stop complaining and accept it!!!” - Actively trying to humiliate and berate people who dare to go against what’s happening won’t stop the truth from coming out.
Clearly they’ve learned a thing or two about how public opinion can be swayed so easily by just a few vocal people, they have to deploy all their tactics to try and spin the narrative. People DO care that they’re nepobabies and have a giant corporate backed shill campaign. But keep on damage controlling and trying to put down the people who don’t like what they’re doing, I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I’m sure it’ll totally work out!

There is no implied authenticity in pop. That machine operates in plain sight. Disney is the farm team for tomorrow's manufactured female pop stars? We've known that since the days of Britney and Christina. Next you're going to tell me water is wet.
>>
>>129985697
Exactly, and they don’t want people waking up to their reality because they’ll be less docile or easy to control. They need sleepy sheep to keep the illusion of freedom in order to further their goals. It starts with realizing that every form of media is controlled, and funneled through filters, then it becomes a bigger issue of realizing that the people’s own government is actively preying upon them. Can’t have that, now can we?

the best course of action for these things is to just stop talking about them though. but that's too hard for you, you want everyone to know you're steaming and you want those (You)s as well. these ad agencies know this. they're banking on you venting your frustration which in turn gives them more exposure.

Because Taylor Swift is money and clicks. A discussion about a band we may be interested in for negative or positive reasons stays on this board with racists, people who desperately want to fuck 7/10 female singers and make threads about it every day, grandpas who still haven't gotten over the death of hair metal, nu-metal dead enders who refuse to grow up, and retards who hate nu-pitchfork core like Geese but never discuss anything else. Everything else is marginal at best in modern times. Just roll with it. It's okay if the things you like aren't culturally dominant because the things that are only appeal to the lowest common denominator now.

i suspect you're likely wrong and that around 99.99 - 100% of the people who've ever shilled it here are wholly unpaid and unaffiliated with the band or anyone related to the band in any way and they just are in a feedback loop where they find it funny to intentionally shill it to annoy people who keep saying it's being shilled so that those people will once again say it's being shilled so the shillers will feel more incentivized to continue shilling it for years
happens with a few bands/artists here, usually a different one every 2 years

yeah I'm with you. So much of the music that we like has been nepo'd/trustfunded/planted enough to end up in front of us over other shit, it is what it is. The rich kids win, duh, dig deeper into DIY scenes if you want to.
It's still interesting to note though when something is obviously being pushed. I've got plenty of friends who aren't deep enough into music to find stuff on their own, and all of them ask me if I've listened to Geese yet. I'll still like it if it's good, but it's worth noting for the history if nothing else

Because music doesn't have to be "authentic" to be good. It would be healthier for everyone to finally admit this rather than continue to guzzle the slop from mediocrities like Geese because their marketing and PR firms chose the "authentic" angle for them.
>>
>>129986964
Yeah, it's weird.
You're bound to get some authenticity because everyone is simply different and talks and writes about different subjects. But some people talk about genres and noises and chord progressions or beats themselves as if you need to "upgrade" like it's an outdated laptop or something.

If you had such a high IQ, you'd realize none of that has worked out in material reality. You'd go back to the drawing board like the genius you supposedly are. That's what a good scientist does.
You'd also realize this was by design. Occupy was the last time Class Consciousness had a chance. Why do think it died out? Because Banks and Hedge Funds and Corps bet on misdirecting you into Identity. That you'd no longer care about the economic injustices they're guilty of, if they just dangled the carrot of Identity in your face. Make you feel like you're "making progress" because a Ritz cracker commercial has a gay couple or there's a black superhero in your Marvel slop. Then you get guys like Larry Fink who've practically swallowed up huge swathes of the economy with Blackrock - whether acquiring real estate and jacking up your rent or creating giant monopolies. But he implements EGS and the journos (whom he also bought out) say he's a saint.

This reply got me thinking who is actually paying to see Geese, because apparently it's a lot of people.
I went to their official site, and most (all) of their dates are during music festivals- you're not paying just to see them. So if you want to see Geese in the US this Fall, you're paying $165 at MINIMUM, which is the lowest I found for a one-day GA ticket into the festival. Since it's a festival it's probably like what, a half hour set?
Who can afford this?? How can someone convince even one friend to drop that much money to go with them see their favorite band play a half hour set
Music Festivals suddenly seem like a royal scam...

Be against racism. God bless you. But are you truly anti-racist or just anti-white? Because another part of this "corporate conspiracy" is to just get regular working class people to fight among themselves, not see each other's common suffering, and not join together to fight the actual entities that are causing harm to everyone.
Here and elsewhere, I see legions of self-styled leftists who like calling almost all of America as "flyover" now. Or if it's the south, they write them off as hillbillies and rednecks or resorted to dehumanizing them altogether. They don't see any of their struggle and laugh at suffering if it's white. None of this resemble an old progressive political party like picrel who went into these regions and made allies and won white working classes over to join the fight. Democrats gladly handed them over to Trump, to make whatever promises he wants to make to them.
And no, I'm not white myself, just trying to make this personal.

I am not who you're replying to there but just for the record: I am very anti-communism, anti-racism, pro-white, pro-black, pro-indian, pro-jewish, pro-muslim, pro-christian, pro-men, pro-women, etc. etc. Those aren't platitudes, I have millions of comments online defending every possible person from any stupid bigot across any permutation.
I'm also pro-poor and pro-billionaire (I helped contribute to the recent pro-billionaire march in California). I think notions of class struggle and racial struggle are both very stupid, worthless distractions, I think far-right and far-left people are both wrong and dumb and bad, I think conspiracy theory-style thinking is extremely stupid and never even a tiny bit correct, basically not even once correct in the past 50 or so years. Maybe once or twice max.
Seemingly almost no one holds my political position and instead wants to cling onto populist copes and hatred and theories of enemies and villains. Alas.
You're not going to find almost any anti-racist people on 4chan who have the slightest animosity towards white/european people. If you think that way, you're like the weird pro-Israel shills who say that not wanting Israel to bomb people is hatred against jews.

With all due respect, anon, I think your IQ might be very low. I would be shocked if you're employed in a high-skill, high-income job. Are you?
>>
>>129987467
No. I'm mixed race myself. I just said it was good that the anon above was not racist. The problem is that identity politics itself has hijacked even what racism even means. In Identity politics, it talks about systemic racism specifically (and to distract you from economic injustice), and calling out all whites as privileged in said system. It doesn't matter what any whites' actual living conditions may be, they're still somehow "privileged". White Privilege. It purposely makes you minimize any white suffering at all. That they can't possibly be victims of a faulty class system like others... when they've always been victims themselves of it. Whether in feudal Europe as peasants or victims of bad food and industrial practices in the modern age. It tells everyone all whites benefited from Colonialism too, when most of those people lived in utter shit. They weren't nobles. And if they were soldiers, they were drafted and got blown to bits in hellish foxholes going mad. There isn't one single race that has historically been immune from suffering and not getting a boot on their face from some upper class shitbag. But Identity politics has clouded that and got people to just blame all whites for all the evil in the world. And then call it "anti racism".

I'll be pro-billionaire when they create jobs and promote growth and let their billions actually circulate into the society around them. Some do, many don't. Most can be talked into shifting said money elsewhere. The bulk of the economy of the modern world is built on a system of third world slavery and debt slavery for most others. Slavery never truly died out. They just shifted it from local peasants and chattel slavery to making deals in faraway lands that no one has to think about. But even among the local populace, there is more income disparity now than there was in the actual Gilded Age, which was already a comical level of disparity. Even in those days, one working man could support a large family by himself. You can't get close to that now. It won't be long until we approach Pharaoh levels and Bronze Age tiers of income disparity. Where there are practical gods over everyone. And with AI and mass surveillance, they'll probably larp like gods too if you don't put an end to them now. But I digress :)

Being antivax is just being "you" in 2019 and before. Is that so bad? I just never saw any reason to change that. I'm still in the same State. You aren't. Maybe it means nothing. Who knows.
I just don't like putting shit in my body that I feel no need to. If you saw a random cup of liquid as you were walking, do you just pick up and drink it? Do you just grab random products off the store isle and shove them up your ass? You don't HAVE to, you know.

This one is so poorly drawn. Is there some rule that says a 'jak MUST have a pube beard? It's like how everyone complains about flatshit in design. These 'jaks are the same thing to memes. Minimalist in a way nobody could truly love. If you erase the pube beard the stupid James Rolfe glasses are the only thing that sticks out. Nobody looks like this so I don't know what you people are trying to imply when you reply to people with them anymore. I think you younger zoomers must think the pube beard is the literal height of comedy since it's so prominent in all of these 'jaks.

can we get a single thread where the accusation of shills doesnt Immediately draw a naysayer?
who are you naysayers? how much more interaction with 4chan do you need to understand the accusation is gratis, if we dont need the accusation then we need the naysayer even less
there is only a single valid motivation to be a naysayer after understanding this: you are a shill

It’s a good object lesson in how leftists seek consensus which is why everyone bought the hype, it became evident that there was social power in “being a Geese fan.” Now that power is threatened so everyone’s saying they knew it was astroturfed all along and didn’t care.

I got paid to attend one of their shows to make it seem like they had an audience through Chaotic Good. They might be more on the down low because of the controversy but its worth the try reaching out to them or one of the other agencies pushing them.

>I went to their official site, and most (all) of their dates are during music festivals- you're not paying just to see them
Bingo.
They're too scared to actually have their own show, as they know the popularity doesn't match the organic fans.
I'm looking at comments on their tiktok and youtube and I can't help but think every positive comment is a bot now. They've ruined a a good fandom for extra clout.

So I thought it was just a meme but the guitarist is a tranny
>The band's name came from guitarist Emily Green's nickname "Goose".[3]
That sentence made no sense at all because how do you get the nickname "Goose" from the name Emily Green
Then I saw a pic of "Emily" who is clearly a man so he must've trooned out at some point but because "deadnaming" is VERBOTEN on wikipedia there's no actual helpful info on the situation
Eventually I found some old Geese CD artwork where the guitarist is called "Gus Green" and suddenly it all made sense
Gus = Goose

Retarded Geese partisans don’t understand that you don’t need to have an issue with art being the domain of the rich per se. After all, this is how art has worked for centuries. What rankles about the Geese situation is that none of these fans or journalists were saying so BEFORE evidence of it was revealed, even though people with perception noticed that Geese were astroturfed and pointed this out. If they are so savvy and comfortable with the fact that all of their favorite music is manufactured, why were they denying it two weeks ago?

Internet discourse has become pointless. If I express any opinion contrary to the local consensus, then I’m a bot or a shill. So what’s the point? Every place has its established opinion and that’s that.
The only possible advice is to say: Listen to what you want, enjoy what you want. Ignore everything else. If there is some “controversy” or “discourse,” then you might as well just ignore it completely. The battle lines have already been drawn and they’re unmoving. /mu/ is just as likely to be astroturfed as reddit, twitter, tiktok, or anywhere else. It’s all fake.

>Why would people buy (increasingly expensive) tickets to see bands they haven't been exposed to?
You keep defending Chaotic Good like they're advertising the band rather than using human psychology to convince you it's good
>“If 100 people think your song sucks, Chaotic Good will create 200 people who think your song is awesome.”
>Most people see a video or something about an album that came out, and that first comment they see becomes their opinion, even when they haven’t heard the whole album. It’s really important for us to make sure we’re ahead of it and controlling that narrative in the direction we want.
THAT isn't normal advertising. That's psychological manipulation to convince people a band is good without even having to hear them.
Normal advertising would be clearly sponsored videos saying to check out a band if you like x, y, or z music already.
Chaotic Good makes fake fan accounts to shill the band without being clearly sponsored.
>Essentially, the firm creates networks of social media pages (typically on TikTok) and uses them to drive the band’s music into the recommendation algorithm.
If you believe that this is "Normal" advertising, you are a lost cause.

at the end of the day they're not a terrible band, just massively overhyped. All music marketing is, to a greater or lesser degree, a psyop by definition. people are just buttblasted that Geese's psyop worked better than a lot of other bands. And like all buttblast envy, it's rooted in the probably-true-but-totally-irrelevant truth that there are better bands more deserving of popular and pecuniary success.

those obsessed with trannies are the ones who have ensured that the Geese psyop succeeds. all press is good press.

I hate the deceit that troons and their fans practice. Theyre a tranny, thats the reality here whatever but their fucking bio should say "born Gus Green he transitioned into a female at this time and changed name to Emily" but no that triggers them and their faggot fans, they need to completely erase any memory of him being a man, they need to make it apparent that we now live in the reality where Gus never existed.

That's what I hate. Especially considering the name of the band was quite literally derived from the deadname of the trans person.
Why is it so hard for them to just accept that they once were that person? Change is acknowledging your past, not burying it.
Trannies continue to prove themselves as immature.
