Austin Jones arrested on child pornography charges

YouTube star Austin Jones, 24, was arrested on Monday in Chicago on child pornography charges, the Associated Press reports. Jones, whose pop music channel has more than 500,000 subscribers, allegedly used social media to urge two underage female friends to send him sexually explicit videos of themselves.

...

Jones is known for posting acapella and acoustic covers of popular songs by artists ranging from Panic! At the Disco to Justin Bieber, and has a fanbase that is primarily teenage girls, according to the complaint. More than 5 million people have watched his most popular video, an acapella cover of “Welcome to the Black Parade” by My Chemical Romance.”

Both of the victims allegedly expressed reservations about making the videos for Jones, and Victim A repeatedly told him that she was only 14, the complaint states. However, Jones continued to encourage them to record the videos, telling each of the girls what to wear and what to say, in addition to directing them to perform sex acts as “try outs.”

The complaint states that Jones told Victim B, “I seriously shouldn’t be talking to you,” before telling her in an online chat that he was trying to help her understand his detailed instructions. “I know you’re trying your hardest to prove you’re my biggest fan,” Jones allegedly told Victim B. “And I don’t want to have to find someone else.”

good riddance, guy I've never heard of

(I'm still waiting patiently for Onision to suffer the same fate)

There was a minor scandal a few years back when a load of indie youtubers were found to be engaging in various forms of sexual exploitation and abuse - https://web.archive.org/web/20160107102502/http://unpleasantmyles.tumblr.com/post/79455706244/tom-milsom-hexachordal-sexual-abusemanipulation

austin jones is on that list near the bottom

Pretty weird how like 3 or 4 of those youtubers were on Hank and John Green's DFTBA record label, with accompanying reponses to these situations from Hank and John. I've been familiar with a number of their projects (for instance, Crash Course). But I had no idea until now that they had a record label, much less a record label for youtube stars who every couple of years seem to solicit minors for nudes or similar scandals.

Mackenzie Ziegler - Monsters (aka Haters)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PFnD9lbIy-Y

http://www.tmz.com/2017/06/19/dance-moms-mackenzie-ziegler-sued-breach-of-contract-music-producer/

Former "Dance Moms" star Mackenzie Ziegler is two-timing a music producer by bailing on performances and record sessions, and working with another producer on the side ... according to a lawsuit.

Kismet Music is going after 13-year-old Mackenzie and her mom, Melissa Gisoni ... saying they breached their 2014 deal.

In the docs, Kismet says when it signed Mackenzie -- who has more than a million YouTube followers -- she agreed to "deliver technically and commercially satisfactory records." In exchange, Kismet would try to secure a recording contract and distribution deal for her.

The producers say Mackenzie and her mom didn't seem to have any issues with the contract when they were cashing checks associated with music released under the deal -- but in 2016 something changed. According to the suit, Mackenzie started skipping recording sessions and meetings -- and when Kismet tried to contact her, at least 14 times ... radio silence.

Maddie Ziegler's kid sister is also working with another producer, a clear violation of her exclusivity deal with Kismet ... according to the suit.

Kismet is suing for 15% of Mackenzie's net profits under the deal.

many many xposts: I'm going through this thread for the first time now, but I don't think I can listen past the godawful Danielle Cohn song that repeats the words "Marilyn Monroe" so many times I'm reminded me of GWB-era iTunes ripoff artist Mike Macharyas https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-z6ktwOxcM

lol. I guess Wesley Willis would be the other obvious touchstone

JoJo Siwa - Kid In A Candy Store

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ue0qAm5HVmU

Dancer and social media sensation who is wildly popular on musical.ly where she has attracted more than 11 million fans to her ItsJoJoSiwa account. She has over 5 million followers on Instagram and more than 3.5 million subscribers on YouTube.

She began dancing before she was even 5 years old and learned to love hip hop dance over any other style. She does enjoy Jazz, Contemporary, and Lyrical as well.

She was a top 5 finalist on the second season of the Lifetime series Abby's Ultimate Dance Competition and the youngest dancer to make it to the season 2 finale.

Her mother Jessalynn owns her own dance studio in Omaha. Her older brother is named Jayden. She has three dogs named Coco, Lulu and BowBow.

Haschak Sisters - When A Girl Likes A Boy

I like the '90s slowjam vibe of this one. it's basically what you'd get if Paris Strother wrote and produced a track for Ark Music Factory:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vr5lABa1JOQ

Hi Guys! Hope you enjoy our new original song, "When A Girl Likes A Boy!" As we grow up, we realize a lot of things will change, but one thing that will always remain is how much we love each other!

Our names are Madison (17), Gracie (15), Sierra (13) and Olivia (11) and together we are the Haschak Sisters! We have been dancing all of our lives and LOVE music! We started this YouTube channel to share our music and hope you’ll join us on our journey! We love meeting new friends!

Like our music? We would LOVE to connect with you online and let you know when we upload future videos! If you like THIS music video and want to help spread the word, it's easy! Simply LIKE, FAVORITE, COMMENT and SHARE this video with YOUR friends on Facebook, Twitter & Instagram! That really helps a lot!

We love you!! xoxo

where you at, rolling teenpop 2007 crew?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZ01cmdwhfg

So has this thread just taken over from the rolling worst music thread then? I dunno, some of these might even be good, not going to check, youtube remembers this stuff.

those last two Haschak Sisters songs are solid guilty pleasures, but they probably aren't good enough to justify the horseshit you'll end up with in your recommended list. tbh they aren't 100% in the spirit of this thread, since they're professional singers with a heavy social media presence rather than instagram stars awkwardly dabbling in music.

some of these songs are intentionally awful, aren't they? a lot of social media stars (or their parents/managers) seem to realize that their target demographics thrive on drama and shade, and their songs are carefully crafted to incite an onslaught of roasts and reaction videos, which will ultimately drive views and subscriptions (as well as lucrative collaborations with their roasters, who probably all belong to the same network). the outpouring of hate will only make their fans more devoted and cultlike as they struggle to defend their idols' honor. kids like the 'Marilyn Monroe' girl are probably too young to realize they're being exploited in such an underhanded way, but I'm sure their parents are considerate enough to at least prepare them for the hate ("you just have to let the death threats roll off you. you still want us to buy you that Tesla for your 15th birthday, right?").

jake paul has 8M subscribers

wtf

Our Alice has been putting a fair amount of stuff up on media channels over the years, most get about 40 to 50 views apart from one which got 8,000. We still have no idea why that particular song did. (They are mostly cover versions, acoustically recorded).

someone with a lot of followers on social will have pasted a link to it at some point

Aye, yr probably right.

"Lauren is one of the prominent young Americans who have tasted success and high popularity right from her teens owing to the online social media platforms. She has made a strong foothold in the online world at an early age. Her first public comment came out on Twitter, in the month of October, 2012. The tweet read "@justinbieber I <3 u." However, it was not certainly what earned her fame. Lauren was always interested about the online platform from a young age but she just was not sure about the right approach.

"When musical.ly was launched in 2014, she found the right medium to reach out to the people. She, slowly but steadily, started working on her Musical.ly feeds and with her unique work carved out a particular niche for herself. Many of the challenges performed by her, like #JuJuOnTheBeat & #UNameItChallenge have gone viral making her a popular internet celebrity. On her Musical.ly account, she has over 3.5 million fans and the numbers are adding up every week. She has received more than 250 million hearts so far, which is a record in itself. She enjoys over 210,000 followers on her Instagram account."

This was a helpful piece, really

here's another good one on the 9 year old in particular

https://1833.fm/lil-tay-a-brief-overview/

apparently woah vicky was arrested at the four seasons mall in greensboro, aka the mall I have been to hundreds of times

Bhad Bhabie must be kicking herself for not having the presence of mind to drop a new catchphrase while the cameras were on her

it's funny how in a little over a year the narrative around her has swung from "this girl is super fucked up and will be dead or in jail by the time she's 20" to "she may be a little rough around the edges, but she's a surprisingly decent rapper, and she's more intelligent than you might expect"

(having read that Jezebel piece, I'm ashamed to admit that I know exactly what a "beef with YouTuber RiceGum" entails)

Tana Mongeau

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HvGur0cF414

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=02B7U9DAnz8

Like traditional celebs, famous YouTubers, like Tana Mongeau aren’t immune to being accused of doing problematic things—in this case, allegedly filming the body of a person who died of overdose.

Though Mongeau’s erroneous decision to film the deceased person predates Logan Paul’s infamous controversy, fellow YouTubers unearthed these accusations only recently. YouTuber iNabber was one of the first people to reveal Mongeau’s video from October 2017.

In iNabber’s video, he dissects Mongeau’s now-deleted vlog, entitled “FOUND A DEAD OVERDOSED MAN (LIVE FOOTAGE): STORYTIME.” While the title alone seems like it could prove that Mongeau exploited a deceased man for views, she could’ve easily used the title as clickbait. Unfortunately, iNabber shows the full-length of Mongeau’s video (at the 1:45 mark), and the contents are disturbing.

At the 4:29 mark of iNabber’s coverage, he highlights the recovered footage where Mongeau allegedly filmed the body of a deceased man. While iNabber censors this sensitive material, he claims that Mongeau didn’t blur out the body in her OG vlog. “I personally had to censor that because Tana didn’t censor the body,” iNabber explains. After Mongeau allegedly recorded the dead body, she spent the remainder of her video focusing on herself and how finding a deceased person put a damper on her day. Shortly after Mongeau also allegedly filmed the deceased man’s friend (who was just informed of his death), Mongeau says, “This would only happen to us. Only we would wanna have a nice beach day and then have to like save a dead guy.”

this is something https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Tana%20Mongeau

She started modelling after she got rejected by a few acting auditions due to her height. Her first runway casting was for LA Fashion Week when she was 13.

She has 410,000 followers on her indianamassara Instagram account.

^actually a pretty good song, but if you've gone from producing some of the hottest techno bangers of 1992 to penning album tracks for Britney to producing songs for instagram stars, then you have some explaining to do

Chicken Girls = a vehicle for LA stage kids (90% of this thread) to gain clout by associating with slightly more famous LA stage kids. pretty sure most of these people are aspiring singers, but I won't flood this thread with examples

He collaborated with rapper MC Kevinho on the song "Sem Romance."

I spent a few minutes trying to puzzle out the connection btwn Martin Luther King Jr. and douchebags in rollies gazing at butts, but apparently it has nothing to do with him:

Moleque Zica is a young man, in the range of 14 to 25, who has his own style of being. Take off, dress up extravagant, flamboyant, or do something very well like: Rake a bike, skate well, dance well, sing well, spray a tall building ...

Moleque Top, buck, cool, lucky, smart, carried, smart, sagacious, alive, Machiavellian. The one who gets well at the last minute, everything he does always takes advantage, drop a kite and cut everyone, there comes a car sound in the heights, it's Zika listening to funk, gets along with women, college does not study and take ten, form CBT group in the last semester and if it's okay, it's pissing at the friend's foot in the bathroom of the school, it's missing the important job is after taking good note, it's missing important class is to arrive the other day understanding the which the teacher is talking about, is to grade the bike or motorcycle. To have a Ford Ka lowered to the last is to get on your street with the sound you can hear three blocks away. Being Zika is to escape in the police even without having to do anything, is to be in the right place at the right time to be Zika is to fill the group of Porn watssap until locking the cell of the friends.

"This kid is really stupid, not that he was able to graduate in college without a group of CBT in the four years elapsed. He left it at the last minute, went there and passed."

2020 was the year Travis Barker teamed up with a 19-year-old TikTok star to prove to the world that rock ain't dead:

Today, singer-songwriter jxdn (Jaden Hossler) debuts his new single “Angels & Demons” via DTA Records. The intoxicating track showcases his dynamic vocals over Barker’s signature production and drums. The music video, directed by Ari Nissenbaum, gives a visual component that reflects the duality of the song’s lyrics, which were co-written by jxdn alongside Barker, McKay Stevens and Keith Varnon. WATCH HERE.

jxdn is the first artist to sign with Travis Barker’s imprint, DTA Records, a worldwide joint venture with Elektra Music Group. jxdn is the first artist to sign with Travis Barker’s imprint, DTA Records, a worldwide joint venture with Elektra Music Group. jxdn (pronounced jay-den) is represented by manager Larry Rudolph at Maverick Management and digital production firm TalentX Entertainment, whose music department is helmed by Gavin Rudolph.

“I’m bringing rock back!!! You’re gonna hear it with a lot of music/artists I’m producing and signing to my label,” Barker says. “jxdn is an artist I’m really excited about and is the future of DTA RECORDS!”

“I just wanted to change the world with my music. No better person to do that with than Travis,” jxdn says of the new music and signing.

“Angels & Demons” follows the 19-year-old’s self-released debut single “Comatose” which has found rapid success since its February release. “Comatose” has currently peaked at No. 27 on Billboard’s Hot Rock Chart, has amassed more than 20 million streams across platforms and reached 35+ global viral charts to date. Its music video has been seen more than 6 million times.
