THIS

I worked in the music industry in the 90s, so maybe things have changed, but generally since, oh, 1950 or so, we've assumed that musicians are genuine. there is little to no "persona," what you see in the press is nothing more than putting on one's customer service face. It's not a wholesale invented fakeness, and while we may guess that actors do that sometimes (while wishing to believe they didn't), musicians have always been different. We have always believed that they were close enough in public to who they were in private. I only hate Taylor Swift for being an environment-killing private jet bitch, but if she's also fake as fuck, just add that whipped cream to the sundae.

Speak for yourself there, chief.

I mean seriously, this just seems like an utterly bizarre thing to say about the pop music industry? MAYBE at some point the record-buying public was under the delusion that it was true but it's certainly not something that ever actually was true.

This is the most Gen X thing I've ever read on this comm.

That's such bullshit. Such utter, utter bullshit. Nobody who had more than two braincells actually believed that any bigger musician is 100 % genuine, with no fake/stage persona attached. Maybe in some select genres but overall? Especially in the 90s, holy hell. In the golden age of casted boy/girlgroups who had their personalities assigned to them to maximise audience appeal?
