As someone who has had a small amount of success in the music industry and 'knows' a bit, I can confirm that all of it is a facade, very far down even into what is considered to be 'independent' music. I've been tapped for joining the fray myself a few times, but I bailed and quit because the whole thing is perverse and they prey on idealistic retarded kids who don't know how to manage themselves, so they can keep most of the money.

But generally, major labels will tap young stars that they thing look good then create a fake 'rise from the underground' narrative by working with 'indie' labels to put out their first releases by throwing them a few bucks in return. Music is all about the story and has almost nothing to do with music. It's about sell a certain image and culture to teenagers, which they can market and milk for as long as it lasts. None of it is organic, really. This practice isn't something new, but has been going on for most of the 20th century. It's just easier to see it now because of the internet. The funny thing about it all is that there's hardly any money in music anymore.

This post is kind of funny though, because it's pretty obvious if you bother doing some research for half a day, it's not some grand conspiracy he has uncovered. At the end of the day, the music industry just push whatever they can sell, which in music tends to be the lowest common denominator, hence the gradual decline of quality over time, as the new LCD becomes whatever the next layer of shit is. The case with Billie Eilish is just a rich kid who caught on because she has a lot of money behind her rise and a natural charisma and look that pays off. It's not a very big deal.

is there anything more pretentious, more attention-seeking?
