In today's entertainment and media landscape, almost everyone is lying to you. Artists, influencers, media personalities, businesses, and especially record labels. Whether it's pretending to be rich to gain admiration, poor to be relatable, or problematic to stir conversation, the game is about perception, and perception drives profit.
It’s the age-old rule: fake it ‘til you make it. And while that philosophy has launched countless careers, it's also created a world where illusion is more valuable than authenticity. In the music industry, it means faking streams, doctoring accolades, or staging viral moments just to manipulate your attention and sell tickets, merch, or a lifestyle.
This isn’t new. Entire industries are built on the power of positioning. But in some sectors, like cigarettes, medicine, gambling, and alcohol, there are actual legal restrictions on what you can sell through illusion because of the dangers involved. Unfortunately, entertainment doesn’t play by the same rules. There’s no watchdog when a label fakes an artist’s relevance or when a content creator fakes expertise to push a course.
We’ve seen it done effectively, like when Twitter campaigns helped position artists like SahBabii as cult legends ahead of a drop. And we’ve seen it backfire, like the pushback Doechii received for her clearly funded and highly orchestrated media rollout. The difference is often subtle, but the stakes are high. The more curated the illusion, the easier it is to exploit your belief.
It’s not just the industry, though. Regular people fake it all the time. On resumes, in relationships, at work. We embellish stories, inflate titles, and hide flaws to be more palatable or desirable. So, should we be shocked that the entertainment world does the same thing, just at scale?
The real question is: where do we draw the line? When does marketing become manipulation? When does strategy become straight-up deception? And is there ever such a thing as harmless faking in an industry built on image?
