New Gen Z band Tramp Stamps faced backlash on TikTok, Twitter and Reddit after allegations of being "industry plants" i.e., presenting themselves as self-made while having label backing. A Reddit user discovered that the band's guitarist, Caroline Baker, is signed to Prescription Songs, a music publishing house owned by the controversial producer Lukasz Gottwald, also known as Dr. Luke. The band's association with Dr. Luke, their queer identity, and "punk" aesthetic were claimed to have been co-opted for career advancement.
Completely unsurprising turn of events.
