"I guess someone's trying to start Who Pays Influencers (this is a completely bullshit scenario people are trying to pretend is commonplace - companies are not giving cash to people on Insta to wear their clothes, anyone who believes this and reports it needs to get checked. It's like six people and they're legit celebrities beyond social media)." lol what

"this phenomenon, which is so established that the FTC issued guidelines on it years ago, is bullshit. I know this because I have all these /mu/ followers and yet no one wants me to wear their clothes."

The concept of "growing" is so pathetic - and the best part is this laughable conflation with it as some badge of depth, of wooden, True music, maaaaaaaaaaan. A "grower" is an album you don't like but either A) repeatedly subject yourself to because you know it has social currency and if you want to partake of its social currency you must submit to it on some level, or B) you ensure people know you're aware of until its handlers find some way of selling it in the future, at which point you can say "Oh yeah I remember that album, it came out last October", broadcasting your stature as an Alpha Consumer.I am hitting you in the face with a baseball bat right now.

TBF Reddit isn't happy with everything he's saying:
whatever9991230 9 points 2 days ago ive been way more disillusioned with music, recently. Every album is either a "surprise" release or pushed by the same marketing cycle. Is it too much for me to want something real/ is that even really possible anymore?
shallowrewards 0 points 2 days ago Patience is a virtue. Just ignore the noise and definitely filter anyone out of your life who uses music in a competitive way. If anyone asks you if you've heard of a band or heard a record, I mean, just delete that person from your life. When people ask me that, I invariably say no, whatever the case may be. And if they start to recommend it to me, I tell them it doesn't really sound like my kind of thing. Their discomfort and disappointment in not being able to use music in a way they should not be using it is a wonderful feeling.
VERY_LARGE_BENIS_XD 41 points 2 days ago Who the fuck is upvoting this? This idea is bizarre and misanthropic. Sure some people will do this in the competitive sense but others just want to turn you on to good music. I have found some great stuff by listening to friends and I'm all the happier for it.
