No one makes it in the industry.

Im convinced that 98% of the entire music industry are industry plants and nepo babies who's uncle owns the most popular record label or dad is bestfriends with the guy who's grandpa founded Sony Music, etc. Everyone in the industry knows each other and there are no actual outsiders that make it inside for the exception of some rappers here and there. It's like with the film industry everytime you look up an actor or actresses name after watching a movie, their parents are already actors or their grandparents are hollywood moguls or something, except I think the music industry is even more nepo baby based. Or, if you're just filthy rich and can blow millions of dollars on marketing than sure, you can pay to win yourself into the industry I guess.
