Beerjeezus Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 The photos from Post Malone are awesome but I can't help it, I feel a little meh about the fact that what he's doing now to look relevant is going to popular people's shows and taking pictures with them 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, is it possible as a musician, that he genuinely enjoys other people's music, and enjoys going to shows? Why does his social life have to be a marketing strategy revolving around him trying to be relevant? Maybe he's comfortable with his level of relevance and just likes going out. So if I go out with my friends to a show, we post it on insta and tag each other. It's just that his friends happen to be successful and famous, as is he. I'm just saying, he and Adie might just be enjoying a night out, and not every post is a calculated marketing move. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A great part, if not a majority of IG content is marketing, including social media accounts of celebrities. You can't really compare that to when you post on your personal social media. Of course, he's not Kim Kardashian, but his account still is a marketing device and when he's doing this thing where he shows up with mainstream popular artists, it's not just to go out and do coke, it's promo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it’s actually very effective as promo. If I was a manager I would highly recommend it. Really good way to get positive press with a younger demographic while reaching millions more people than he would on his regular account.

Yeah, it is and I would recommend it too, if the set goal was to reach a younger audience (which I don't really see as a market for them at this stage of their career, but it will be interesting to see what happens.) I'd like to know how many people actually check him out when he does this, but even it a vast majority doesn't, they get to know he exists/who he is, so yeah, if nothing else, it's good for increasing his brand recognition. I would be more receptive of this (or the FOAM era in general) if I was a part of the target group they're going for with this album.

Can’t always keep them to ourselves, so many people never even knew RevRad happened before, I would mention Green Day to people and they would wonder if they were even still together and if they’d done anything since American Idiot. This should change that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This should change that. Agreed, Rev Rad had absolutely no outreach outside of their fan base and it didn’t help them. They peaked at the AMA’s with the Bang Bang performance, and then they didn’t take advantage of it and they lost that momentum. 28 minutes ago, Beerjeezus said: I would be more receptive of this (or the FOAM era in general) if I was a part of the target group they're going for with this album.

I'm not saying they shouldn't branch out, I just doubt the direction. 39 minutes ago, Billie Joe's Eyelids said: I kind of get this, although I’m not really sure who they’re targeting with this album. Me neither, and that's why I have doubts about this whole thing. With RevRad they clearly had in mind their fans and older rock fans in general, which meant it didn't have a lot of mainstream impact, but it made sense. With this album, they seem to be trying to go back to teenagers, I guess? I'm in my early 20's and what they're doing so far doesn't appeal to me at all and it doesn't seem I'm alone. It just seems cringy and very "how do you do fellow kids". They've already done this shift with American Idiot, but that was at a different time and most importantly, the music was on a completely different level. With RevRad I thought they've finally given up on trying to get this super young audience, which looked like a good choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean I discovered them at the beginning of RevRad, never felt (or even asked myself, but also because I hadn't felt anything in that way) that they were trying to get at a super young audience. I was very young and I'm not sure I would've been that attracted by AI for instance. Rev Rad is what made it for me. The fact is that they keep making new and young fans at each era, like they themselves observed, but I believe that with everything they've been through, it's not something they're trying to create. I highly doubt the selfies and their social media content in general is calculated. I actually don't believe that at all. the way especially Billie posts is extremely spontaneous and not necessarily politically correct, on any field this term could cover. When I showed several friends from different ages and fields the rather heated replies he made to fans reproaching him to try to praise some unity beyond political belongings (the insults he made to fans below the Trump and Kim Jung On posts ), those friends didn't believe he himself had made these replies. But I confirmed that yes he had and I was enough used to him to not have a doubt it was him. Whether they agreed or not on his position, they were all amazed, like: "as a star of that size, he has guts to reply in that way to fans himself." Maybe more guts in comparison to the stardom norm than I myself had realized, since I'd been so used to him for more than a year, and to him only, as I don't follow any other star. So I don't believe at all he'd make anything to attract new young fans now. I think he sees way enough of them at each show especially the biggest amount of club shows he's done lately. And even at the front of arena shows there are most often a majority of very young people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking forward to seeing how it works out for them. However, imo having an older audience and being a legacy act aren't necassarily the same thing. I would say there's more potential for them among adult rock fans and as a mature band than with teens and being lOoK wE'rE sO hIP, but I'm sure they're not doing this without consideration, so I also expect to be surprised when this goes better than I expect.

I don't know how much the band/Billie are involved making these marketing decisions, but I guess they just do their job and let the promo people do theirs.
