Topic: Foster the People is ruining the music industry

Anonymous A started this discussion 15 years ago #12,919

There hasn't been a single person or band that has made built up so much rage inside of me. The only fucking reason this band is popular is because the mainstream record companies decided that indie music was too good and gaining too much ground on the mainstream scene. They decided that the only way to stop it is to sign a band that APPEARS to be indie, bad is actually a pop boy band. They looked outside the window and found three Hollister models and told them they will give them money and girls if they performed these shit songs all the time. Obviously they accepted (I would if it was money and girls) and now Foster the People "fans" (just asshole douchebags who only listen to Pumped Up Kicks) and making America a living hell. Fuck this fucking country.

And I decided not to put up a Foster the People pic up because I'm not a huge faggot

I agree, but I am not as passionate about it.

MGMT never saw quite this kind of success, and I think it's because they're much better! They're weird guys and the music industry does not like that.

You are seriously retarded if you seriously believe that it means not being signed to a label.

It just means not being signed to a big commercial label like Sony, Warner Bros or EMI or being self-produced.
