i didnt even know bro was an industry plant
Me neither
How isn’t he?
@@LukeKickwalkerHe’s saying that Marshmello being an industry plant came as a surprise to him, because let’s face it, if you’re someone who just throws a Marshmello song on from time to time, you’d have no way of knowing this.
Many people, myself included, probably figured that this is a DJ who blew up solely due to his gimmick/mystique and a few catchy tunes.
@@TheNickJames Exactly, I always thought everyone thinks he made some interesting EDM songs. But I guess it was a facade.
What ever you say.
Pat had no chill within the first 10 seconds 💀
😂😂
Only reason I was down to watch was the upfront honesty
I felt insulted because I didn't understand why he would talk shit about the guy, but it made sense as the video went on lol.
@@mrcojocaruhe fell off bro
Fr🔥
I honestly think he did a smart life/career move. He seen it wasn’t working and found something that worked and ran with it. Hats off to him.
I hate that his trash is successful, but I hate the hordes of people who consume it more.
@@unknownamusWeird take. There’s nothing to consume without the trash. Blame the manipulators not the manipulated
@@DeathnoteBB If there wasn't a demand, there would be no supply. Hollywood kept making trash until people woke up and boycotted their movies along with the SAG strikes. Don't get me wrong, I understand a population vs a corperate machine stands little chance. Unless that population forms a unionized community.
My "take" is simply that personal responsiblity has to come into account after a certain point and you can't keep blaming people who see easy profit. It's on us to make what we consider "deep" and "quality" accessible, since it usually takes refinement and effort for people to be into that.
i feel you, but you know the bots are always gonna eat something up @@unknownamus
Hey I didn’t say it was the best music ever lmfao, I don’t even listen to him, I just think he’s a smart business man.
Marshmello being a plant makes sense to me. Really explains how he came out of nowhere despite being so mediocre
Everything makes sense now. I always called Marshmello "fake music". It isn't house, it isn't techno, it isn't dance, it's corporate pop disguised as EDM.
Damn near every artist come out of nowhere despite being mediocre now.
he was famous before being marshmello
always been that way, always iwll be that way
everyone starts somewhere@@coltonwilkie241
I'm just a few mins into the vid but like someone said. he was successful before, and if you look at his ultra sets it's a whole new person. I feel like. he keeps the family friendly happy music for 11yo and the hard shit for the rest of the world
Marshmello is literally the only industry plant that is seen in a positive light.
Probably he really doesn't fit that definition he was always on the scene just given the opportunity to get more famous.
Which he understandbly accepted and ran with.
Well I mean Chris GRINDED as DOTCOM. Hell he was scooped up by monstercat when they first started, and ain’t nobody that just happens to
billie eilish
Post Malone
and obvs having a super smart manager
Dotcom went from a decently popular touring opener to one of the most iconic DJs in the EDM game all from just sticking a bucket on his head.
and changing his sound
@TheDuccky his sounds isn't really all that different which was mentioned in the video. Dotcom started at the tail end of festival trap being popular and the start of riddim blowing up. Most people from the time he started to when we switched to Marshmellow only really wanted to hear riddim.
yah, but he still changed his sound
@TheDuccky nah bro he really didn't
@TheDuccky the only thing that really changed is him having access to probably the best mixer/masters in the world. Dotcom was 100% making the bubble gum poppy festival trap that marshmallow makes.
It's a testament that he's able to do what he does while being rich and famous and keeping anonymity, He's still able to walk the dog and go to the grocery store without anyone batting an eye. More power to him, He gets to have the cake and eat it too.
Watch the video it's his whole team behind this marshmallow is not a person he's a product and they make mediocre trashy music.
Keeping anonymity is a blessing. Especially now
Yeah but his soul is dead from selling out.
@@JohannesNielsenhe does not have anonymity, its literally right here. its just that nobody gives a fuck
@@salazam many would sell their soul to have money, its not that bad of thing. people want money in various reason so whats wrong with that? you point out people who sell their souls for wealth but you never point out people who refused said money and is now living a mediocre life or in poverty
Now I’m not saying what Deadmau5 did to Marshmallow was fair since I don’t think Joel really knew if Marshmallow was an industry plant or not, but it’s pretty funny looking back at all the times Joel basically spat on Marshmallow’s name after watching this video. Joel took shots at Marshmallow in the dark and hit the bullseye on an industry plant, and he HATES industry plants.
the goat lord 🔥🔥
his mau5 senses tingled
Deadmau5 is the real deal. The GOAT if there ever was one.
@@joshtp313FACTS
He probably knows more than we do about new artists and the industry in general
I worked those RPM parties and after his opening set, he sat by himself in the Green Room. I walked over and said "good show man" and he was super nice and humble. Really interesting to see the full picture

When Daft Punk disbanded there were a lot of people saying they should just hand the helmets to some younger artists who could continue for them. I feel like those are the kind of people who like Marshmello. No real love for the art, just fascination with a brand.

Low barrier of entry high skill ceiling that’s what makes djing fun and cool
@@OfficialDjTalksickI dunno man, a good set of decks costs like 6 months rent where I’m from
@@mrlloyd149 you don’t need a good set of decks, software and controllers have made it more accessible while allowing for more to be done. And a real decent set of decks like with 4 channel mixer and several effect knobs cost like 1600 usd and bellow just depends on preference, but you can easily make do with anything under 500 usd
Who said you need a good deck? “Entry” means getting started. You can DJ birthday parties with a $250 used Pioneer DDJ if you want.
@@carsonlove531 or just an iPad too lol 😂
What I find most funny is Chris is pretty cute guy, so he had all the pretty privilege going on if he wanted to become a star. But his apparent lack of charisma and charm was so strong they found it was way better to just put a mask on him and turn him into a brand based exacly on the lack of personality.
There's this thing called the Halloween costume theory, that you can tell an artist will be huge when you can dress up as them for Halloween.
Marshmello's probably the 2nd best example of that in the EDM scene.... behind Daft Punk

@ellasoderstrom5407 why did you copy paste that comment
Halloween costumes are made based off of what is popular in culture (pop culture), the popularity comes BEFORE the costume is made and marketed
Yeah! Screw Joelmouse!
It was super easy to figure out who Marshmello was because of the Skrillex interview. Plus all the photos of Chris' tattoos matching all of Marshmellos tattoos. I remember googling who was Marshmello back in like 2018 and the result was just Chris Comstocks Wikipedia page
This!!!
Ive heard people say it was him since like 2016
Yeah, I'm with you. The whole Marshmello identity and him being an industry plant was a big (and already solved) topic 5 or more years ago.
I already thought that everyone knew it and enjoy his music for what it is. But I guess the public consciousness is feeble in the sense that old listeners find new artists and every new listener doesn't necessarily dwell deep into every artist that they find.
The whole topic of industry plants is fine by me, as long as the plants don't lie and don't try to heavily push back the fact that they are one. In the case of Marshmello brand, he hasn't confirmed nor denied the fact, which is fine by me.
hes not a plant though lmao
I think it's kinda funny that Skrillex aka the undercover Scientologist is out here outing ppl 🤫
Man it's hard being an independent artist with no idea how these big artists do this, I don't really hate industry plants but I wish they would give real artists the same energy
The whole point the video was making is that Skrillex *does* give real artists the same chances and energy. Did you even listen to the video?
Most of the time it's just luck mixed with at least decent production.
Its called “sacrificing your soul”
Yeah I understand deadmau5 frustrations

"Marshmello could be DJing for the next 100 years" had me more scared than any video I've ever watched about The Singularity.

Just coz he's DJing doesn't mean you still gotta listen to him
I never heard of Marshmellow until this video,
@@tubester4567 Oh, you sweet summer child.
Ok this comment wins
as someone who has followed mello from day 1/WaVeZ, this is really accurate. Moe is the real brain behind Marshmello, he saw an opportunity with Chris and they built an empire together.
and can you really hate them for that? its inspiring to me.
I've worked with Moe Shalizi in 2015. He's an absolute genius in marketing and one of the hardest workers I've ever seen. Totally deserved
yeah I believe it! I met him in 2016 - super nice and professional guy. Chris is cool too- I met him in 2014 when he was touring with my friend. Very deserving people indeed@@eyoo369
Moe even said that he takes a very big percentage of the money in an interview from Sundae Conversation
Honestly. They had an idea and it worked. Idk why people would hate on the guy for. He’s making people happy and making money off of it. He can stay in the dark if he wishes to do so
I guess its just kind of lame that this became a literal brand. Like this is a prime example of the corpratization of music and its a really disgusting trend that music can be churned out to consumers with no love whatsoever. Its just lame and dosent set a good precedent for the future of music
I think decent people just tend to feel revolved when presented with such levels of falsehood. Also it's just another proof of how disgustingly artificial and poor is this whole genre of "music" and people
@@ChadGamesIsYourDadwho are you to say it’s produced with no love. Dotcom has been on the scene forever, he definitely has love for music. Obviously making it a brand is true but if it’s a guy who loves music and is making good music who am I to care what works for him
its not a guy its a company
Well lying is never to be commended.
Man this brought back some ptsd from that scene, good to see it’s being aired out now. Good video. 👌
Dude went from “drink water” to “use my code to gable” crazy what greed can do.
It's strange to learn about things like this when I spent years not even caring about it. At the end of the day, I'll listen to it if I like it. I did like the story that was told in the music video for alone, and I still enjoy shockwave whenever I decide to give it another listen.
You should check out again. He shows his boss (chef) that he was creative and talented
Or party jumpin/ unity: a 2 part story where mello joins a soccer tournament and goes against a cocky team
It's been pretty obvious that Chris Comstock is Marshmello. This guy just makes it seem like its a big thing or some kind of expose. He's 7 years late into the news. Even when that news made it into the internet people didn't care much. They still enjoyed his music.
Narrator's just a grifter capitalizing on the clueless much like most youtubers these days. The likes of Pearl Davis and the manosphere content creators
it was out before his fortnite days... this guy is just hating @@MZRTMusic254
honestly, must be kinda nice being that famous and rich and still be able to go about daily life without too many people knowing who you are. Fella played his cards right.
I always had a feeling he was an industry plant but I still believed he just got lucky. As time went on you could just tell by his music that he wasn’t the one making the music. It’s all just a big brand of corporate industry workers. This all just goes to show that you do need to work hard for whatever you want in life unless you have massive team and budget with you to accomplish that. Aside from that I’m glad you made this video. It’s important to let people know it’s as easy to get his level of popularity by being an industry plant.
What is more important than working hard is working smart.
@@mism847Sure but at least have some authenticity in your brand. People still think he’s the one making the music when it’s really a bunch of people making it. Your not even an artist at that point which is what they want to sell to the listeners.

Awwh marshmello was introduced to me thru my very best friend and everytime I listen to their music, it makes me think of him and remember him fondly ♥️♥️ RIP Maffew
Rip to your friend glad y'all have that awesome memory to look fondly on, musics powerful.
Good for Chris. You can criticize him, but he spreads joy and has done extremely well for himself.
He also takes songs from others and claims their his.
Well he’s stole lots of songs so no
While he may spread joy he does it unoriginally and without people knowing what he really is…
We praise brazen thieves
@@tristen_grantnot at all
You know what? Props to Marshmello. Many celebrities probably envy him. When he takes off his helmet, no one recognizes him, so he can live his life in peace. Yet he's still loaded, and reaps the benefits from his connections to celebs. Quiet luxury life.
This one video has taught me more about the EDM scene and connections between artists than I ever even knew existed and I've been enjoying EDM my whole life
I used to listen to Dotcom heavy back in the 2013-2015 trap days. When the first few Marshmello songs came out, I immediately knew the drums, and how they were mixed, were the same as Dotcom’s. and Dotcom had a few tracks that had jersey club drops with a trap switchup that sounded like early Mello songs. and the 808s Mello used were almost identical to what Dotcom was using at the time. Im a huge fan of bass music and have been for a long time, but yeah i definitely noticed it early on. amazing video as always pat 🔥
Wow I knew who he was from just business ties but that is impressive! Well done!
Damn I thought I was the only one recognising his kicks / drums. His early marshmello stuff was basically a mix between Wave Racer / San Holo and his older project Dotcom

Marshmello isnt a industry plant , its just a strategic business , thats smart af
Anyone with ANY TINY bit of artistic talent doesn't respect it though. From a business standpoint? Sure, I guess.....I mean I can't say it's "bad for society", it's not hurting anyone so I can't hate on it either.

I remember when it had barely a million views about 8 years ago, and it was alright for the time but looking back at it now, it was pretty cringe
@@Gobbldeegoo1Why?
I feel like it's worth mentioning that Spor isn't a side project for Feed Me. Spor existed prior to Feed Me, and was John Gooch's original alias as he got his name out there making dnb, much like how 12th Planet and Kill the Noise did the same as Infiltrata and Ewun, respectively.
A more apt comparison might be to Bro Safari, which is a side project/alternate alias of a member of Evol Intent.
Prime Loops also isn't a stock music website but a site to purchase sample packs to use in music.
i also feel like its worth mentioning that knife party isnt a side project of pendulum but rather a side project of rob swire and gareth mcgrillen, the rest of the band has nothing to do with it.

That's a pretty concise way of summarising corporate music: not art; a product.
Being a fan of Electronic Music & heavily invested in the scene from back in the late 2000s I definitely miss the social media days/"EDM twitter" back in 2013-2016 going down Soundcloud rabbit holes discovering lots of these artists you mentioned. And for the folks that were following all this stuff back in those days with all the names & labels mentioned like OWSLA, NestHQ & a bunch of others, within a few weeks Marshmello bursting onto the scene people quickly narrowed down the list to either Jauz or DOTCOM being Marshmello so that trick Tiesto pulled at EDC only really had shock value to the mainstage kids who had no clue of what was going on.
I liked a few of his first few tracks that had heavy bass elements but I wasn't too keen on the forced beef/drama he tried starting with household names like Deadmau5 & once he fully transitioned into a Pop brand & all the "Fortnite" stuff I completely checked out. It was obviously wild seeing DOTCOM go from an average remix producer/run of the mill DJ to a global brand in real time & good on him for his success but for many purists of the wide genre of Electronic music this was a signal of the direction the whole scene was headed in with lots of promising names & even some seasoned veterans completely ditching their own sub genres/sound & switching to generic Big Room/Mainstage sound or just straight up pop music which they were just doing to try & stay relevant with the growing crowd of "mainstage" fans attending the big EDM festivals.
I liked watching this cause it brought back a lot of memories & things I haven't really thought about in years tbh & you broke down a lot of the little details pretty well so even fans of this guy who may not have known his backstory can learn a few things about the scene in general.

This is exactly why Gorillaz was formed. Damon Alburn as the former frontman for Blur, saw music heading this way, as did most in the 90s and why Gen X ended up burning down Woodstock. Alburn had 4 virtual characters created to be the band, and hid his identity for years. You only interacted with Gorillaz. He stopped after getting tired of hiding his identity. Gorillas is an entire universe now.
Damon is still the frontman for Blur. They released an album a few months ago.
I was actually born before 9/11. Everyone instantly knew who he was.
@@theironsheik6322 Yeah I feel like he has a super distinctive voice that was present right from Gorillaz' self titled. Admittedly, I'm young enough that I know Gorillaz much more than I know Blur and in fact discovered them in that order...

Was with you until the end. EDM is art. There is tons of commercial, appeal-to-all, generic tracks out there yes. But there’s so much more music underground that’s just good music
He's not saying EDM isn't art. He's saying marshmallows music isn't.
@@notsheeple-ih6hl he clearly says EDM isn’t art towards the end of the video. Bet marshmallo is just commercial beats
It's so out of depth how this video talks right out the gate with saying that nobody listens to marshmello, wonders why he has 50 million listeners on spotify, then says that EDM and Marshmello are not art because there is no way to develop a deeper connection to rhythm-based music. "It can't be that he has actual fans! It must be because he's a good product!" Yeah, uh... oh.
Well now I know, great video!!!
My son was 9 years old but he told me that he absolutely loved marshmallow, and dressed up as him for Halloween, and yes he plays fortnight
As someone who loves test kitchens, I think the idea of a bunch of music scientists working together to give the people what they want is as brilliant as the Mcdonald's team finding the bliss point for the big mac. I'm not mad at all
Considering the negative bodily effects of McDonald's, don't you think it's interesting that you're comparing this to food trash?

@@salazam these people are the reason why we are head first into the dystopian nightmare while they lie to themselves and call it "Utopia". There can be no love for truth if they think truth is subjective, instead of objective and absolute.
The problem is that's not what they're doing. They're engineering satisfaction using psychological and subliminal manipulation, for maximum revenue growth. Those aren't "music scientists" those are Psych majors following the orders of MBA majors with "advice" from musicians who are cut a check and are happy to not be a "starving artist" anymore. They're more _telling_ you what and how to "feel the music" than figuring out what you actually like and catering to that. That's why MM and other industry plants are so generic and is heavily skewed to younger audiences. Because it's informed by _general_ psychology to appeal to the widest possible audience, which is maximally applicable to people at ages before they've fleshed out their own individuality (13/14 and younger).
Your first statement was mind-blowing
I kind of had this assumption, never really looked into it, but after seeing this; I'm 100% with it.
I still remember the day I found alone, a few days after it released browsing UA-cam with my cousin we stumbled upon a weird dude with a marshmellow shaped helmet. We clicked cause it looked goofy, but We listened and genuinely loved it. A lot of my highschool playlists included quite a few marshmello songs. Bro popped off cause he put a bucket on his head and looked goofy. 😂

Sia does the same thing, only has weird hair. Personally, I love Marshmallow, I love working out to his music and it does carry a really cool positive vibe. I think Marshmallow has done a bang-up job at leveraging more than one industry. To top it off if he goes into public he's not barraged with crazy fans, paparazzi etc...
My hats off to the guy! Nothing but respect.
love your videos and on THIS one because of all the heavy work i did in the dance scene, i coulda (on this one) given you alllll this info AND THEN SOME LOL. need anymore info on the edm scene. i got a ton of it lol. truly. this whole video i was made aware of alll of it in 2016/2017 haha. love the video still always love u work u kill it pat
great video!
Great video
People don’t hold a deep personal connection to an EDM artist? Avicii, hello? RIP KING.
He came to our music industry "forum" at my college one day. Near the end of the interview about him just talking about "collabs" and "being blessed" and "getting connected" he proudly declared that he was still evolving as a musician- and that last week, he learned what a major third was and what a harmony is. I am not making this shit up.
For the non musicians reading, intervals and harmony is like third grader music class.
A lot of popular musicians have no music theory knowledge really. They proved during the Blurred Lines trial that Pharrell can't read music at all but he's one of the most popular and influential hip-hop producers.
@@dahalofreeekthat's not true
Hans Zimmer can't read music, but is one of the greatest modern composers
@@assassin8636 It is a lot of producers don't really knows how music theory works or didn't know until later in his career.
@@JamesRichards-zk2hl is that what they're telling you?
I thought it was pretty obvious.. glad it's being brought to light 🙂
Very smart people backing this man that’s for sure.
It's crazy how people used to press Twitch streamers for gamble and now almost everybody are promoting Underdog and other betting company. I know that those companies are not as bad as whatever they were promoting. That's the start
The fact that people enjoy marshmello's music than trying to uncover his identity is probably one of the best things about the edm community, it doesn't matter what he does in his free time with or without the mask as long as his music is good enough to send positive vibes then its a win in my book
Been going to fests since 2017 and most ppl I've spoke to aren't fans of him LOL. Ppl who are very new to the scene like him. He used to be my fave too before I really got into the music. His music is very mid. That being said, in any community there's people who act too high and mighty. There's always ones who take that patronizing mindset. Live and let live. But I completely understand why people do not like him -- he represents everything that raving used to stand up against -- society's rules, capitalism and all that.
Look at Patrick digging into the edm landscape! Been in the scene for years if you ever need any sources 👊🏻🙏
The whole Marshmello identity and him being an industry plant was a big (and already solved) topic 5 or more years ago.
I already thought that everyone knew it and enjoy his music for what it is. But I guess the public consciousness is feeble in the sense that old listeners find new artists and every new listener doesn't necessarily dwell deep into every artist that they find.
The whole topic of industry plants is fine by me, as long as the plants don't lie and don't try to heavily push back the fact that they are one. In the case of Marshmello brand, he hasn't confirmed nor denied the fact, which is fine by me + the surface level mystique is the brand.
insanely proud of where chris has gone with his career & endlessly grateful to have been able to work with him in his beginning years. thanks for making this video pat. ✌🏻
Industry made this comment. Fake account
@@ross64robhate to break it to ya but he isn’t an industry plant
@@ross64robit’s gotta be. But I don’t doubt that someone in the world is as disconnected from reality as this logun character
Thank you so am I. People don't realize how big he was on SoundCloud at that time period... Skrillex doesn't just help anybody. He helped Slushii as well... This whole video is so wrong. The only thing accurate was that he is successful

I met Dotcom in Philly when he was opening for Kapslap! Then I met Marshmello a couple years later and they sounded exactly the same in person! He's still a Goat and I always said he deserves more!
Marshmello plays at Argyle in Sydney on the regular.
If you didn't know it was Chris Comstock a decade ago then you've actively been choosing to live under a rock this entire time.
Or we just dont give af about trash edm
Or we just didn't care and don't care maybe?
Haven’t been living under a rock, I can guarantee that

Edm and the whole DJ scene fell off in the mid 2010’s they would have some popular songs and stuff, but nobody who wasn’t in the sphere of edm music gave a shit anymore after about 2015. And even before then edm was still in it’s on sphere and collabed with artists outside of the genre every now and then but no one would dive into the genre and would just listen to that song, like the Justin bieber collab. We also didn’t care much because, we don’t care. There’s some people who are masked and people actually care about because of their personality and just who they were without a face, e.g., Dream and BoyWithUke. They weren’t some random white guy who made generic music and kept taking off his mask in whatever shows (I’m talking about before dream took off his mask and started doing whatever he’s doing now)
Basically nobody cares as the edm scene was left behind and people transitioned mainly listening to hip hop or rap music.
the last 30 seconds summed this video up pretty well. well said pat!

@@Theunicorn2012oh you missed this one.
I remember youtube music labeling his music as dotcom once
I remember back in 2016-2017, when I still used to make youtube videos, I was heavy into the EDM scene. Of course, Marshmello was the biggest thing at the time and I remember all the hits like wolves, alone, silence, everything that was mentioned in the video. I eventually faded out of the EDM scene after I left UA-cam around 2018-2019 (ironically is when I got into Juice Wrld and I still love their song come and go that they made together on Juice's album). Anyways, crazy to come back here all these years later and see the full behind the scenes picture that was happening all along. Just kinda shattered my reality and childhood a little bit but I'll recover lol. Damn I miss those times :(
Was suppose to see marshmallow live at beyond day 2 but it got canceled because of a shooting. Music bumps especially at festivals.
Dudes worked hard for their money, was smart, had ingenuity and isn't concerned with fame. I'm happy for them and their families.
